Bounded Mobilities -
39,99 inkl. MwSt
Mobility is a keyword of late modernity that suggests an increasingly unrestrained and interconnected world of individual opportunities. However, as privileges enable some to live in a seemingly borderless world, others remain excluded and marginalized. Boundaries are created, modified and consolidated, particularly in times of hypermobility. Evidently, mobility is closely tied to immobility.This volume features ethnographic research that challenges the concept of mobility with regard to social inequalities and global hierarchies.

Miriam Gutekunst (Dr. phil) is a cultural anthropologist and postdoc researcher at the Ludwig-Maximilians-University of Munich (Institute for European Ethnology and Cultural Analysis). Her research is mainly focusing on migration and the European border regime, politics and bureaucracies, gender relations and (post-)colonial entanglements. Furthermore she is working on the practice of writing in research and teaching as well as questions of engaged anthropology.

Andreas Hackl is a social anthropologist at the School of Social and Political Science, University of Edinburgh. His regional expertise lies in the Middle East and his fields of research include peace and conflict studies, displacement, migration and mobility.

Sabina Leoncini is a social anthropologist with a PhD from Florence University and a practicing pedagogue. Her research focused on mixed education in Israel/Palestine and explored the social and cultural significance of the separation wall between Israel and the Palestinian West Bank. Julia Sophia Schwarz studied European Ethnology and Sociology at the Ludwig-Maximilians-University of Munich. She conducted research on family, poverty and gender at the DJI (German Youth Institute). Irene Götz (Prof. Dr.) is a full professor of European Ethnology at the Ludwig-Maximilians-University of Munich.

Irene Götz (Prof. Dr.) holds a professorship of European Ethnology at LMU Munich. Her research fields cover nationalism, ethnography of work and ageing studies.

»An important and timely contribution to mobilities research. Regarding the sophisticated use of language and analysis of the cases, the volume is suitable for researchers or graduate students who have some experience with mobilities literature rather than under graduate students or beginners in the field.« Ilkay Tas Gursoy, Anatolia, 05.06.2017 Besprochen in: Swiss Migration News, 05.07.2016 Contemporary Sociology 46/6 (2018), Emily Rauscher
