CRESSWELL & MERRIMAN / 2 GROTE OVERZICHTEN VAN DE MOBILISTIEK

Tim Cresswell is hoogleraar Geografie een de Universiteit van Edinburgh. Hij is niet alleen wetenschapper maar ook dichter. Een groot deel van zijn werk heeft hij besteed aan MOBILITEIT. Zijn hoofdwerk is ON THE MOVE. Zie elders op deze site.

Tussen 2011 en 2014 schreef hij 3 overzichts-artikels met zijn kijk op de stand van de mobilistiek: alle in Progress in Human Geography

Mobilities I : Catching up(2011); Mobilities II: Still (2012)l; Mobilities III; Moving on (2014)

In MOBILITIES I : Catching up = even bijpraten. 1. het ontstaan van de mobilities benadering. 2. Een brug slaan tussen Mobilities en Transport.

In MOBILITIES II 1.mobiliteitsgeschiedenis, 2 . onderzoeksmethoden en 3. stilstaan/stoppen.

In MOBILITIES III 1. Kritische mobiliteiten 2. Verschillende vervoerswijzen 3. Animale mobiliteiten, virussen, vlees, melk 4. Logistiek 5 Off-shoring.

Peter Merriman is hoogleraar aan de Universiteit van Aberystwyth in Wales. Culltureel en historisch geograaf met specialismen in mobiliteit en de theorieën van ruimte en plaats.

Vanaf 2014 Volgt hij Tim Cresswell op met een driedelige overzichtsreeks in hetzelfde tijdschrift Progress in Human Geography

Mobilities I : Departures . 2014 This first report identifies key trends in mobilities research during late 2012 and 2013. Using the 150th anniversary of the London Underground as its launching point, the article explores a number of academic engagements with its history, as well as identifying the lack of research on underground or underwater mobilities. It then examines recent work which might be considered to provide creative or experimental engagements with and meditations on movement, including urban exploration, poetry, art and film. The final section examines recent work on mobility, politics, exclusion, marginalization and privilege, including work on forced, elite and family mobilities.

MOBILITIES II Cruising.2016 In this second report I discuss research published in 2014 and early 2015. I examine recent debates about elemental geographies, including research on the mobilities associated with air and water, and on how aluminium, steel and carbon facilitate movement. The report then highlights the vibrant materialities and mobilities underpinning events, examining different approaches to processual and molecular mobilities, including work which is critical of the suggestion that everything is moving. In the final section I examine the centrality of mobility to academic practices and biographies, and here I discuss the life and work of the influential cultural studies scholar Stuart Hall.

Mobilities III: Arrivals. 2017 In this final report on mobilities, I discuss research published between late 2014 and early 2016, focusing upon three key themes. I examine how recent work on medical bodies and race advances long-standing concerns with the mobile body. I then trace emerging philosophical and political writings on the themes of speed and ‘accelerationism’, before examining the contributions of mobility historians and transport historians to academic work on mobility. I conclude with some thoughts about the multi-disciplinary nature of contemporary mobilities research and the current state of the field.
