Books in the Changing Mobilities series

This edited collection aims to be the definitive text in the mobilities portfolio on cargo; containers and containerization; manufacturing and production; offshoring; logistics and distribution; air, land and sea freight; maritime mobilities and the sociology of the sea.

This edited collection explores the intersection of mobility, mobile communication, and locative media. The chapters in this volume address the many transformations taking place in mobile sociality through the appropriation of location-aware technologies. Mobility scholars are in dialogue with mobile communication and locative media scholars.

This edited volume presents a first-of-its-kind study of modern Italy as a mobile construct. It offers a critical accounting of the histories, power, and politics specific to Italian mobile practices, and reflects upon Italy's paradoxical status as both a space of transit and a signifier of heritage and fixity.

Material Mobilities explores the material dimension of various forms of mobilities and its implications for society, politics and everyday experiences as well as investigates how materials themselves are on the move.

The diversity of mobility situations studied in this book highlights the contribution of the reality of mobility in the daily construction of urban, regional and global spaces, as well as in the redefinition of socio-spatial concepts.
