AAG 2001: New York, NY
Moving places: the politics and poetics of mobility
Geographies of transport have remained largely untouched by theoretical
developments within contemporary cultural, economic and political
geography. This session will bring together scholars working on a
broad range of cultural issues relating to networks, technologies and
experiences of transportation and movement. We welcome papers which
address issues such as:
- How movement and transportation are linked to the construction and
experience of space and place.
- The cultural and historical geographies of speed.
- The ways in which practices and technologies of transport are
related to the construction of contemporary subjectivities.
- How various modes of transportation and movement are implicated in
the construction of transgressive bodies and spaces.
- Transport networks as sites of surveillance.
- The relations between transport and advertising, the arts or
popular culture.
- Transport spaces and governmentalities.
- Culturally informed studies on the economics and politics of
transportation.
