Description
This collection charts the growing influence of 'mobilities turn' across various disciplines in social sciences, exploring its impact on arts and humanities scholars. It examines how questions and feelings of movement are being incorporated into research in fields such as literary studies, historical geography, history, poetry, and film.
The book outlines what a mobilities turn might look like in the arts and humanities, tracing a genealogy of humanities engagements with themes of movement and mobility. It also discusses different methods and textual sources used by humanities scholars to explore these topics.
This diverse collection demonstrates the potential for future intellectual dialogues and creative collaborations around the theme of mobility, making it an interesting resource for both mobilities scholars in social sciences and researchers in the humanities.
