Dear Colleague,
We are pleased to announce that the latest issue of Transfers has been published by Berghahn Journals. This issue sheds new light on one of the classic concerns of mobility studies: transitions in forms of personal transportation. All of the articles in this issue are concerned in some way with the dynamics of social change and urban form as shapers of mobility. The special section on Railways and Urban Cultures revisits the importance of passenger rail (and public transit systems) in the transformation of urban experience, especially through studies of film, literature, poetry and other forms of representation such as maps. This issue also features an Ideas in Motion section, followed by our regular art, film, museum and book review sections.
