Description
Mobilities: A New Paradigm for Social Science
This wide-ranging book explores issues of movement and mobility in various aspects of life, from people to things, information, and ideas. John Urry draws upon extensive research to develop the 'new mobilities paradigm', which sheds new light on social phenomena previously considered opaque.
The book examines how different systems enable predictable and relatively risk-free repetition, and analyses their intersecting implications for social inequality, social networks, places, and alternative mobility futures. By rethinking the way we understand social processes, Mobilities offers a fresh perspective on the world around us.
