SUMMARY:The 2024 Global Mobility Humanities Conference
DESCRIPTION:  \nAspiration has recently entered the lexicon of various branches of mobilities studies. At the individual scale\, scholars have examined the ways in which the term has become an important subjective frame for (especially young) migrants to understand their personal mobility projects (Robertson et al.\, 2018; Paul\, 2019). At a broad societal level\, others have been concerned with the way aspiration has been deployed by capital\, urban managers and state actors to undergird various political and economic agendas\, such as in diasporic formations\, infrastructures\, technologies\, and (urban) future imagineering. Writing about creative labour\, Jian Lin (2019)\, for example\, argues that the identification of a ‘new’ transnational Chinese workforce engaged in the arts and cultural industries is umbilically tied to state aspiration to use creativity as the next growth engine for the economy (see also Ho\, 2011). Elsewhere\, the building of flagship airports and the parade of gleaming aircraft at airshows have long been considered a tactic to conflate infrastructures and technologies with symbols of aspirational modernity (Bok\, 2015; Fritzsche\, 1992; Koch\, 2010). \nAspiration is\, in this sense\, a productive currency that can radically shape mobilities. More than that\, it does so on an exceptionally broad\, if sometimes indeterminable\, time horizon and loop\, invoking different temporalities that necessarily span the present (hope)\, past (contrast) and future (expectation). As Lin et al. (2023) argue\, aspiration seeks to project that which is enchanting and magical forward in time\, and promises a (hegemonic) future of what is good and desirable (see also Knox and Harvey\, 2012). It carves out a problem space to be (re)solved and mended\, making mobilities of the now and then in (urgent) need of remedial actions narrowly defined through certain prescriptions\, instruments and courses of action. From moral concerns like the climate crisis\, to the elevation of technology and automation\, to the introduction of certain debt and financing mechanisms (like in the Belt and Road Initiative)\, mobilities are moulded by forces that are typically already imbued with highly contentious meaning and politics that deserve further unpacking. \nConcomitantly\, aspiration is also a highly affective idea and concept. It entrains a series of evocative values revolving around dreams\, desires\, longing\, yearning\, breakthroughs\, redemption and emancipation. In this context\, it is no surprise that the language of development – especially with regards to infrastructure building – is often laced with expressive tropes of triumphant arrivals\, new identities and ‘mythologies of the future’ (Datta\, 2019). In colonial times\, examples in this regard can be found in the way various transport technologies were affectively mobilised to rally people. Foster’s (2005) work on the Cape-to-Rand railway in South Africa\, for instance\, exactly depicts a dramaturgic sense of (White) aspiration and destiny inscribed onto the bodies of\, and narratives surrounding\, the train. Indeed\, as Appel et al. (2018: 26) aver\, mobility ‘[i]nfrastructures excite affects and sentiment’. How and whether these affects do eventually emerge\, amid fleeting urges of hope\, expectation and disappointment\, is potentially another realm of (micro)politics for further interrogation (see Bissell\, 2016; Bosworth\, 2023). \nThis conference invites proposals from different disciplines within mobility studies\, including\, but not limited to: literary and cultural studies\, philosophy\, history\, art and design studies\, anthropology\, geography\, media and communication\, architecture\, urban planning\, technology\, tourism\, transportation\, education\, Black and Indigenous studies\, gender and sexuality studies\, and others. It will present an opportunity for scholars to share their ideas and inquiries at the intersection of mobilities studies and humanities\, transcending the conventional divide between the social sciences and humanities and the arts.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCo-Organised by \n\n\nThe Internatinoal Institute for Asian Studies (IIAS) is a global humanities and social sciences research institute and knowledge exchange platform that supports programmes which engage Asian and other international partners. IIAS aims to contribute to a better and more integrated understanding of present-day Asian realities as well as to rethink ‘Asian Studies’ in a changing global context. IIAS works to encourage dialogue and link expertise\, involving scholars and other experts from all around the world in its activities. IIAS is located in Leiden\, the Netherlands. Originally established (1993) by the Dutch Ministry of Education as an inter-university institute\, IIAS today is based at Leiden University\, where it works as a globally oriented interdisciplinary institute with strong connections throughout the Netherlands\, Europe\, Asia and beyond. \n\n\nThe Academy of Mobility Humanities (AMH) of Konkuk University intends to create innovative research platforms to deal with the development of mobility technology\, the daily movement of things\, and their connected issues. The AMH is the leading research institute for Humanities Korea Plus (HK+)\, supported by the National Research Foundation since 2018. The AMH hosts the annual GMHC. The AMH attempts to help to cultivate a better society for humanities-based thinking. In doing so\, we aim to become one of the main representative institutes of mobility research internationally\, which also fosters new researchers. The AMH continues to evolve as a center from where mobility-focused research engages practical as well as scholarly questions that are planetary in scope. \n\n\nThe Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences (FASS) at National University of Singapore has a rich history going back from the year 1929 to present day\, complementing its diverse subjects offered to its students. Initially having only four subjects (English\, History\, Geography and Economics); the Faculty has now grown to accommodate 16 departments with a variety of subject combinations to suit an individual’s interest and expertise. Its mission is to contribute to society through the advancement of knowledge and learning in the humanities and social sciences. The FASS mission comprises three parts. It emphasises a) advancement of knowledge through research\, b) advancement of learning through education\, and c) service to society. \n

SUMMARY:Call for: Mobilities Controversies – Place\, Justice\, Democracy
DESCRIPTION:Please reserve the dates of August 22-23 2024 for the C-MUS conference on ‘Mobilities Controversies – Place\, Justice\, Democracy’. \nWe are open for abstract submissions. Please find more information here:\nhttps://www.en.create.aau.dk/research/labs-and-facilities/centre-for-mobilities-and-urban-studies-c-mus/c-mus-conference-2024 \nDirect link to abstract submission: https://www.en.create.aau.dk/research/labs-and-facilities/centre-for-mobilities-and-urban-studies-c-mus/c-mus-conference-2024/abstract-submission\nAbstract Submission – Aalborg University (aau.dk) \nThe deadline for abstract submissions is March 6\, 2024. \nConfirmed keynotes:\nMimi Sheller (US)\nAnthony Elliott (AU)\nNikolaj Schultz (DK) \nConference theme\nTo state that the world is facing challenges seems to be an understatement. Not since the Second World War has a totality of nations and continents been hit by so many challenges and crisis as now. The environmental\, energy and ecological crisis has been building up over decades\, but it’s coinciding with the global epidemics of Covid-19\, the global refugee crisis\, and now the war in Ukraine almost seems like the ‘perfect storm’. The facing of ‘wicked problems’ on an unpresented magnitude is a wake-up call not just for policy makers\, business leaders\, and the civil society. The global research communities are also called upon by these troubled times. Various forms of research that addresses such challenges – from the globe to the body – is highly needed. During this plethora of troubles\, we find mobilities to be at the very heart of contestation and controversy. The sheer magnitude of moving of matter\, goods\, people\, information\, data\, virus\, weapons etc. should make it clear that we are facing serious global challenges. Next to this ‘hypermobility’ we are also facing problematic immobility or restricted mobility as for instance when humans are moving for survival but curbed on their mobilities due to ‘politicized forms of friction’. \nThe ‘Mobilities Controversies’ want to chase the genealogies of these controversies. Not only in time\, but also across spaces and infrastructural landscapes. Mobilities are contested in various fields of policy and planning\, as well as multiple research disciplines offer different interpretation of the causes and consequences. By applying the notion of ‘controversy’ we partly want to pay homage to the now late Bruno Latour\, an unorthodox thinker whose oeuvre has left a permanent imprint on the mobilities turn. Partly we want to acknowledge the line of enquiry coming out of ‘controversy studies’ that critically problematize notions of singular causality and foundational explanations in a hunt for ‘matters of fact’. Exploring contemporary mobilities as ‘matter of concern’ in the light of controversy is thus to have an open mind to the many human and non-human systems\, agencies\, and infrastructures that shapes the world we now inhabit. \nTo reduce some of this complexity the conference wants to home in on three important dimensions of these mobilities controversies. Firstly\, the conference explore how places becomes central in all this? Both in terms of the obvious fact that mobilities controversies are ‘placed’. There is a complicated geography and territoriality to these issues. But also\, on the more fundamental level we want to ask what place is and what it becomes in the light of these controversies. Secondly\, the conference brings questions of justice and injustice to the table. Much focus is on the two dimensions of sustainability relating to the environment and the economy. Important as these are\, we here\, however\, remind that the social exclusionary effects of multiple mobilities controversies should not be forgotten. Issues of mobility justice and mobility injustice prevails. Final and thirdly\, the conference inserts this discussion in a context of democracy. Not as a solution based on the best ‘system’ but rather as a prism into issues of co-creation\, transparency\, and citizen engagement. Democracy might be troubled but nevertheless a set of practices and a way of thinking that seems to be the best way forward. Whether one perceives democracy as a system or a way of living\, and whether one believes that democracy is about rational consensus or agonistic co-existence we believe it is necessary to have a platform for normative and critical deliberation. \nWe invite\nThe Center for Mobilities and Urban Studies (C-MUS) at Aalborg University calls to an internationally anchored\, critical-concerned conversation across professions and professional disciplines. We invite papers on mobilities controversies to fit under the following thematic headlines (but not only these): \n– Everyday life mobilities\n– Rural / urban mobilities\n– Territorial and geo-political mobilities\n– Infrastructure\, infrastructural landscapes and mobilities systems\n– Aeromobilities\n– Automobilities\n– Cycling\n– Pedestrians\n– Harbors and water-based infrastructure\n– Architecture\n– The human and multisensorial body\n– Urban design and planning\n– Digital network technologies\n– Mobilities of ageing populations\n– Mobilities of disabilities\n– Gendered mobilities\n– Racialized controversies of mobilities\n– Refugees and immigration\n– Warfare and geopolitical conflict\n– Environment and ecology\n– Mobilities and geosocial classes\nThe conference is an ‘IRL’ event with no options for online participation.

SUMMARY:21st Annual T²M Conference
DESCRIPTION:The picture as a poster (high resolution 500 KB) download poster \nThe 2023 Global Mobility Humanities Conference (GMHC) and 21st Annual Conference of the International Association for the History of Transport\, Traffic and Mobility (T²M) \n\nOrganised by T2M and the Academy of Mobility Humanities (Konkuk University)\nhttps://www.mobilityhumanities.net/ \n\n“Mobilities\, Aesthetics and Ethics”\n25 ~ 28 October 2023 (hybrid)\nKonkuk University\, Seoul \nThe CfP for 2023 GMHC and T2M Conference (Seoul) pdf \nCall for Participation\nAesthetics (aesthesis) is increasingly being paid attention to by mobilities scholars studying not only artistic but also everyday practices. It is also being considered by those interested in mobility histories\, technologies\, infrastructures\, and (urban) designs\, who explore senses\, emotions\, and affects emerging\, circulating\, and dispersing between\, among\, and throughout bodies and others. Taking note of “movement enacted\, felt\, perceived\, expressed\, metered\, choreographed\, appreciated and desired” (Pearce and Merriman 2017\, 498)\, for example\, aesthetics means grappling with “queries concerning worldly encounters with site\, the body and the senses\, and around materiality and practices” (Hawkins and Straughan 2015\, 2). Aesthetics may mean (an)aesthetics too (Bissell 2022; Sieverts 2007): to consider in what ways our capacities to feel and sense may be not only enlivened but lessened or deadened—desensitised—when on the move\, both presently and in history. \nAs “movement is made of time and space\,” so are “moving people and objects […] agents in the production of time and space\,” that practise\, experience\, and embody mobility (Cresswell 2006\, 3-4). Mobilities can configure a time and space of gathering and/or scattering\, communing (Nikolaeva et al.\, 2019) and/or monopolising\, or in abundance and/or extinction from local to planetary. As both formative and (kin)aesthetical\, they encourage us to ponder\, judge\, and perform what is good\, valuable\, and acceptable\, calling attention to our responsibilities for others\, the environment\, and the globe. Which quality of time and space do we\, with objects\, commit to\, are we producing\, and should we be part of\, via mobilities? \nMobilities are both aesthetic and coloured with ethical values. Many mobilities researchers have taken mainly sustainability and/or climate change as their starting point to address and accept the ethics of mobilities (Freudendal-Pedersen 2014\, 143)\, while recognising how aesthetic is a crucial element of transport imaginaries (and marketing). We\, in addition\, can explore ethics in everyday mobilities\, as well as mobility histories\, infrastructures\, technologies\, and policies\, recognising bodily mobilities\, e.g.\, such as dancing\, bicycling\, migrating\, and touring\, as both aesthetic and ethical. The conference seeks to enquire into the aesthetics and ethics of mobilities not (only) separately but (also) connected. \nThis conference invites proposals from different disciplines within mobility studies\, including\, but not limited to: literary\, cultural\, art and design studies\, philosophy\, history\, anthropology\, geography\, media and communication\, architecture\, urban planning\, technology\, tourism\, transportation\, education\, Black and Indigenous studies\, gender and sexuality studies\, and others. It will present an opportunity for scholars to share their ideas and inquiries at the intersection of mobilities studies and humanities\, transcending the conventional divide between the social sciences and humanities and the arts. We accept proposals for papers and sessions on one or more of the following topics/areas: \n\nAesthetics and/or ethics of mobilities in literary\, cultural\, and artistic narratives\nPhilosophical investigation on aesthetics and/or ethics of mobilities\nAesthetics and/or ethics of mobilities from antiquity to future\nGeographies of aesthetics and/or ethics of mobilities\nAesthetics and/or ethics of mobilities in new media technologies\nArchitecture and its aesthetics and/or ethics in the Anthropocene\nAesthetics and/or ethics in urban design\, mapping\, and planning of mobility\nEvolution of mobility technologies and their aftermaths on aesthetics and/or ethics\nTourism and touristic aesthetics and/or ethics in the post-pandemic era\nMoving people and objects in transportation\, logistics\, and circulation\nAesthetics and/or ethics in global educational mobilities\nKinaesthetic dimensions and choreographies of diverse mobilities\nEnvironmental humanities and the aesthetics of more-than-human mobilities\nColoniality and critical Black and Indigenous aesthetics and/or ethics of mobility\nOther related issues\n\nProposals can be for individual papers\, panels\, artworks\, posters\, and other creative formats\, as outlined below.

SUMMARY:Relieving Broadway: The politics of traffic in 19th-century New York city
DESCRIPTION:Thursday 27 April\, 5.30pm\, Online\nDavid Schley (Hong Kong Baptist University/ University of East Anglia)\nRelieving Broadway: The politics of traffic in 19th-century New York city\nHistorians usually date the origins of traffic control in the U.S. to the early twentieth century\, but in nineteenth-century Manhattan\, managing movement through the city streets was a major political project. This paper examines efforts across the nineteenth century to “relieve” Broadway\, New York’s principal thoroughfare\, of its congestion. The solutions that New Yorkers proposed\, including street openings\, traffic police\, and urban railways\, reflected divergent ideas about whose movement should be privileged and whose should be curtailed. The question of how to relieve Broadway was thus also a question about how to manage the city’s growth and how to govern a diverse population. As Broadway’s traffic intensified in the nineteenth century\, control of mobility emerged as a principal field of political conflict and government action.\nDavid Schley is an associate professor of history at Hong Kong Baptist University and a visiting researcher in the School of Art\, Media\, and American Studies at the University of East Anglia. He published his first book\, Steam City: Railroads\, Urban Space\, and Corporate Capitalism in Nineteenth-Century Baltimore\, with the University of Chicago Press in 2020. His current book project is titled “Gridlocked: A History of Traffic in New York City before the Automobile.”  \nAll are welcome; please sign up for the link here: https://www.history.ac.uk/events/relieving-broadway-politics-traffic-nineteenth-century-new-york-city

SUMMARY:Webinar: Automotive futures
DESCRIPTION:31 March 2023\, 2-4pm (Paris time)\nOnline (on Zoom)\nSession co-organised by the French Association Passé Présent Mobilité and the Vendredis Mobilité. It will be organised around a presentation of the book Post-Automobility Futures: Technology\, Power\, and Imaginaries by the authors\, followed by a discussion with Natalia Kotelnikova-Weiler based on her work on the autonomous vehicle. \nApparatuses of the Anthropocene: Automobility\nIn their recent book\, Post-Automobility Futures: Technology\, Power\, and Imaginaries\, Robert Braun and Richard Randell argue that automobility is an “ill-named thing.” In this webinar they will provide a brief overview of how automobility is conceptualized in their book and why they think “automobility” is an “ill” name. The key argument in the book and in their other publications is that automobility is a political ontology that suppresses and conceals the violent mechanisms\, processes\, and agencies by and through which automobility is continuously and routinely constituted. The second part of the talk will focus on their current work on automobility and its relationship to the Anthropocene. If the Anthropocene is conceptualized not as a geological epoch but as a political ontology\, automobility provides us with a window into how the Anthropocene has been constituted\, how it is reproduced\, what it is. We need to get beyond thinking about automobility and the Anthropocene in terms of greenhouse gas emissions and instead think about automobility as one of the central apparatuses of the Anthropocene. \nRobert Braun and Richard Randell\, Institute for Advanced Studies Vienne\,\nNatalia Kotelnikova-Weiler\, LVMT\, Université Gustave Eiffel. \nFurther details see : https://vmob.hypotheses.org/\nRegistration : https://framaforms.org/vmob-31st-of-march-2023-14-1600-paris-time-automotive-futures-1677682672

SUMMARY:Online seminar: "Close Contact”: skin and the space of the nineteenth-century omnibus
DESCRIPTION:Charlotte Mathieson (University of Surrey) \nThis paper offers an exploration into reading transport and mobility histories through the lens of the skin. Amid wider critical attention to embodied experiences of travel\, the outermost surface of the body holds much potential as a site of visual\, tactile\, and sensory encounter with transport spaces. In this talk\, I focus such a reading on the especially “close contact” of omnibus travel as it appears in 19th-century visual and literary representations. Whether in the confines of the omnibus interior\, or exposed to the elements outside\, skin is situated as intermediary between the surrounding space and the sensing\, moving subject; it is also a site for visual inspection by and of others\, with the potential to be (mis-)read through and in relation to social and cultural discourses; and it holds the possibility of direct\, potentially transgressive\, bodily contact between passengers. Meanwhile the commercial sphere of skincare percolated through the visual field of travel in the form of advertisements inside and around the omnibus. Reading omnibus travel through appearances of skin is illustrative both in extending commentary upon its particularities as a public transport space\, as well as positing broader perspectives for reading the bodily\, social\, and spatial interactions of transport and mobility histories.  \nAs ever\, all are welcome to join us – for the link and joining details\, please book here: https://www.history.ac.uk/events/close-contact-skin-and-space-nineteenth-century-omnibus \n(The eagle-eyed amongst you will note that Charlotte is a familiar person: she’s part of the seminar convening team\, and has played an active role in organising and hosting the series over the years. Now the tables are turned …)

SUMMARY:‘To whom it doth belong’: highways\, law and governance in the parish of Halifax\, c.1550-1700
DESCRIPTION:Thursday 15 December\, 5.30pm GMT \nMurray Seccombe (University of Lancaster) \n‘To whom it doth belong’: highways\, law and governance in the parish of Halifax\, c.1550-1700 \nOnline and in person (Room N301\, IHR\, Senate House\, London) \nEver since the Webbs\, Tudor highway legislation has been perceived as foreshadowing the use of the parish for implementing statutory policy at local level. This paper will summarise research findings that qualify this view by emphasising the continuing and creative role of manorial courts in managing nuisances and highway repairs across the industrialising townships of Halifax parish. Both tenurial and local (township) liabilities were invoked to help maintain and strengthen a network that served the changing needs brought on by social and economic change. The co-option of manors and township officeholders for infrastructural management created a formative\, but hitherto largely unrecognised\, opportunity for strengthening local governance capacity. This adds nuance and depth to conceptualisations of state formation developed by Steve Hindle and Mike Braddick. \nAll are warmly invited; please register here: https://www.history.ac.uk/events/whom-it-doth-belong-highways-law-and-governance-parish-halifax-c1550-1700 \nWe look forward to seeing you in person and online at the seminar. \n

SUMMARY:Call: La velocidad en los mundos lentos. Accidentes\, máquinas y sociedades en América del Sur
DESCRIPTION:Uno de los elementos más llamativos de las transformaciones en curso en los paisajes periféricos de América del Sur es la intensificación de las dinámicas extractivas a través de la construcción de rutas\, la mejora de puertos o el asfaltado de antiguas huellas de carrocería. Esta evolución de las infraestructuras se ha traducido en una presencia cada vez más masiva de grandes máquinas (buques\, aviones\, trenes\, topadoras\, palas mecánicas\, camiones) y también\, a la vez\, por la democratización y masificación de otras máquinas menores (motocicletas\, camionetas\, motosierras\, moto-generadores) que no sólo modifican los ritmos y flujos sino que alteran sensiblemente los paisajes y los modos de vida en las distintas comunidades\, introduciendo formas de aceleración o velocidad que desde muchos puntos de vista resultan disruptivas y problemáticas. Esta reunión pretende centrar la atención en el accidente como punto nodal a partir del cual es posible comprender esta nueva relación entre máquinas y comunidades. \nPor un lado\, se parte de la hipótesis de que\, en esos territorios periféricos en curso de mecanización\, los accidentes han sido y son mal documentados por las administraciones\, ocurren al margen de las aseguradoras\, y son sub-visibilizados por los medios de información oficiales\, por lo que se vuelve indispensable investigar y dar a conocer desde todos los ángulos posibles esa realidad. \nPor otro lado\, hay una dimensión cualitativa en el accidente que es irreductible a las tablas de riesgo de las aseguradoras o a los tomos de datos de las policías: al contrario\, el accidente está al centro de la experiencia vital de esos territorios. Más allá de su comprehensión habitual como acontecimiento puntual que resulta de una falla técnica o humana y que “rompe” la normalidad del cotidiano\, proponemos pensar el accidente como instancia sistemática y estructurante de los distintos ritmos personales\, técnicos y sociales\, volviendo legítima la pregunta por la temporalidad del accidente: ¿Cuándo comienza un accidente? ¿Cuándo termina? ¿Puede hablarse del accidente en la larga duración? \nPor último\, se busca explorar las posibilidades analíticas del accidente en su función transformadora: ¿Qué transforma el accidente? ¿Qué implica para la máquina\, para el lugar donde ocurre\, para la víctima y para su propia comprensión de lo ocurrido? ¿Qué agentividad y qué performatividad pone en juego? Desde este punto de vista\, es en el accidente\, en el disfuncionamiento o en el desperfecto técnico que se revelan la operación cotidiana y culturalmente codificada de las máquinas. \nA partir de estas distintas hipótesis\, “La velocidad en los mundos lentos” busca iluminar la problemática del accidente en los territorios periféricos de América del sur\, dando visibilidad a una realidad mal conocida\, abordando cualitativamente un objeto comúnmente tratado de forma estadística e interrogando la agentividad y performatividad social\, cultural y técnica de un fenómeno usualmente considerado en su sola negatividad. \nEste coloquio se organiza en el marco de los proyectos ANR (ANR-21-CE03-0017) INTERRUPTIONS Accidents\, dysfonctionnements et temps-morts\, les territoires extractifs autrement; IRP ATACAMA-SHS Sciences humaines et sociales en territoire minier; e ISRF MOTOBOOM The Impact of the Current Dissemination of Motorcycles in Indigenous Lowland South America. \nSe invita a las y los colegas interesados por la temática a enviar sus proposiciones (resúmen de 400 palabras) antes del 15 noviembre en https://velocidades.sciencesconf.org. Las contribuciones seleccionadas serán comunicadas a los autores el 30 de noviembre 2022. La reunión se realizará en formato híbrido.

Please submit documents as PDF files to: IAB.spatial-mobility@iab.de. \nNotification of acceptance will be given by December 15\, 2022. \nThe workshop will take place in Nuremberg\, Germany\, and is planned as a face-to-face event with the possibility of taking part virtually. Please state your preference in your submission e-mail. Depending on the Covid-19-regulations\, it might be necessary to host the workshop as an online-only conference. \n\nConference fee and traveling Costsc\n\nThere is no conference fee. IAB will sponsor refreshments and lunch during the workshop for all participants and the conference dinner (excluding beverages) on March 30 for presenters. \n\nProgramme\n\nIn the context of the digital transformation driven by COVID-19-induced changes in the labor market\, educational system\, and society in general\, processes of spatial mobility are as relevant as ever. For instance\, the widespread use of telework is decoupling individuals’ and households’ decisions about where to live and where to work. COVID-19 and lockdowns changed perceptions of what constitutes desirable and appropriate places to work\, study\, and live. \nThe influx of refugees into European countries following 2015 entailed many newcomers whose decisions about where to work and where to live are shaping their host countries in many respects. Research on refugees’ spatial mobility within host countries is therefore indispensable\, especially in light of current events following the military conflict in Ukraine. \nThere have been significant methodological advances in recent years\, with new data types being used for spatial mobility research. In particular\, small-scale neighborhood-level and geolocated data allow for granulated analysis\, while digital trace data from smartphones\, sensors\, or the Internet provide new and unique information. Combining these data with established survey or administrative data opens up promising new avenues for research. \nIn addition to these topics\, the workshop will focus on a broad range of issues related to research on spatial mobilities\, including internal migration\, commuting\, residential multi-locality\, student mobility\, virtual mobility\, and others. Timely research on changing spatial mobility patterns and their implications for existing and emerging social inequalities is crucial. The workshop aims to bring together current research from sociologists\, labor economists\, demographers\, geographers\, and scholars from related fields. \nA non-exhaustive list of topics is: \n\nSpatial mobility in the labor market and the educational system\nMobility decisions of the unemployed\nGendered and household mobility patterns\nSpatial mobility and social networks\nSpatial mobility in the context of neighborhoods\n(Im-)mobility patterns and mobility decision-making\nApplications of innovative data sources\, like geo-coded\, linked\, or digital trace data\nNew methods for analyzing spatial mobility\n\n\nContact\n\nOrganizing Committee of the Current Perspectives on Spatial Mobilities workshop \nInstitute for Employment Research (IAB) \nDr. Sebastian Bähr \nRegensburger Str. 104\, D-90478 Nuremberg\, Germany \nE-mail: IAB.spatial-mobility@iab.de

SUMMARY:"Our petticoats up above our knees": Pedestrian Adventures in 19th-century Diaries
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for our next Institute of Historical Research Transport & Mobility History seminar: \n  \nThursday 10 November\, 5.30pm\, GMT Zoom \n“Our petticoats up above our knees”: Pedestrian Adventures in 19th-century Diaries \nTrish Bredar (Northwestern University) \nWhile studies of nineteenth-century mobility often center on new technologies and infrastructural developments\, this paper seeks to expand and enliven our understanding of that oldest and most “pedestrian” mode of transport—walking. In particular\, it explores how a greater attention to walking’s everyday-ness might alter our understanding of what it meant to move through the world as a woman in the nineteenth-century. Whereas the female pedestrian in this period has long been understood as an inherently constrained or transgressive figure\, this paper offers an additional paradigm\, drawing on a corpus of unpublished diaries to situate walking as an everyday adventure\, an act that is powerful in its simultaneous ordinariness and its capacity to invite the unexpected. \nAll are welcome\, though please register in advance for the link via this booking system: https://www.history.ac.uk/events/our-petticoats-above-our-knees-pedestrian-adventures-nineteenth-century-diaries \nWe look forward to seeing you there! \nThe seminar convenors: \nAparajita Mukhopadhyay\, Charlotte Mathieson\, David Turner\, Mike Esbester\, Lewis Smith\, Oli Betts & Tamara Thornhill

SUMMARY:'Trams and Dusty Trees': Literary Modernism and London's Electric Tramways\, 1901-1927
DESCRIPTION:The next Institute of Historical Research Transport & Mobility History seminar takes place online on 9 June – all are welcome\, but you’ll need to register in advance.\n\n  \nThursday 9 June\, 17.30 UTC+1\, online \n‘Trams and Dusty Trees’: Literary Modernism and London’s Electric Tramways\, 1901-1927 \nJason Finch (Åbo Akademi University\, Finland) \n  \nOne of the less-discussed entries of contemporary London into T. S. Eliot’s 1922 poem The Waste Land is a verbless four-word sentence: ‘Trams and Dusty Trees.’ These words are the jumping-off point for an exploration in my paper of how London’s electric tramways punctuate the work of literary modernists including Eliot\, Ford Madox Ford and Virginia Woolf. The recent upsurge in uses of mobility and mobilities as concepts by literary scholars such as Sarah Gibson\, Charlotte Mathieson\, Lynne Pearce calls for assessment alongside a continued difficulty in aligning the urban perspectives found in studies of transport history with those critics identify in imaginative literature. Documented fact and allusive association\, however\, do meet one another in these modernist tram representations. Written texts\, like visual images as analysed in the work of cultural geographers such as Denis Cosgrove\, shape perceptions of landscape and place. Yet their relationship with timetables\, documentary photographic evidence\, surviving material culture\, or sources charting financing and political debates at local\, municipal and national levels over London’s tramways in the first decades of the twentieth century remains an elusive one. This paper aims to elucidate the relationship. Tramways could seem peripheral to modernist literature and art in an era often thought to have idolised acceleration and the unprecedented experiential qualities of the automobile or aeroplane. Charting trams’ place in writing by Ford\, Eliot and Woolf\, however\, reveals them as a key to a class-segregated and segmented vision of modern urban cartographies. Moreover\, Ford and Woolf derive from trams a metropolitan soundscape hard to grasp after the 1952 disappearance of trams from the streets of London. This literary act contributes to understanding of what we can call the city’s ‘tramscapes’ in the first half of the twentieth century. \n  \nRegister here: https://www.history.ac.uk/events/trams-and-dusty-trees-literary-modernism-and-londons-electric-tramways-1901-27

SUMMARY:'From this new culture of the air we finally see'
DESCRIPTION:Luke Seaber (UCL)\n(5:30pm UK time) \n‘From this new culture of the air we finally see’: ‘Groundmindedness’ in the 1930s \nThe (stereo)typical view of 1930s ‘airmindedness’ is that it is a manifestation of the zeitgeist where we have an interest in\, or even obsession with\, flying and airmen – Rex Warner’s The Aerodrome\, Day Lewis’s apostrophizing Auden as ‘lone flyer\, birdman’; the (classic) examples are legion\, and may be found in Valentine Cunningham’s great sounding of ’30s culture\, British Writers of the Thirties.  It is a phenomenon that has at its heart the earthbound viewer admiring the soaring plane; it is exemplified by the moment in Auden’s The Dance of Death (1933) where the Dancer becomes the Pilot\, ‘the one/To teach us how to fly from the alone to the Alone’. \nThis paper will argue that this view of ‘airmindedness’ is incomplete\, and suggest that of at least equal importance is what it will call ‘groundmindedness’.  This gives an importance to flying that lies not just in itself\, not just in symbolic airmen and technological modernity\, but in what flying made possible: the landscape as seen from the sky.  This view of the Earth’s surface is a vertical view that is quite different from that from mountains (that other ’30s symbolic height)\, quite literally a new way of looking at the world\, one that combines movement and distance.  It will begin examining T.H. White’s England Have My Bones(1936)\, where there is a remarkable long passage describing his first flight as a passenger rather than as a pupil\, before analysing a locus classicusof interwar prose descriptions of flying\, Ginger and Nina’s honeymoon flight inVile Bodies\, where the comparison between the sordid visual reality and Shakespeare’s nobler but imagined bird’s-eye view is a view of modernity made possible by modernity – but the gaze is looking away from the air\, and the modern lies as much (or rather more)  in what is being viewed rather than where it is being viewed from.  We shall then examine the unexplored presence in Auden’s poetry of groundminded imagery such as ‘Far off like floating seeds the ships’ (‘On This Island’\, 1935) or ‘She climbs the European sky\,/Churches and power-stations lie/Alike among earth’s fixtures’ (‘A Summer Night’ 1933)\, where what matters is the phenomenon of seeing from a distant height.  Auden is a key figure here\, as groundmindedness gives him a whole new reservoir of images on which to draw.  Furthermore\, the source of the idea of the Pilot as ‘the one/To teach us how to fly from the alone to the Alone’ will be traced back not as it usually is to Plotinus but instead to Charles Williams’s 1931 novel The Place of the Lion\, where it is associated with groundminded rather than airminded imagery. \nThe history of literature over the centuries has\, of course\, seen the emergence of countless new themes mediated through countless new sensibilities: nature has been discovered\, childhood\, courtly love\, modernity… the examples are perhaps endless.  Hugely rarer\, however\, is the phenomenon of which the advent of ‘groundmindedness’ is an example: the introduction to literature of a new visual subject; the birth of something that had never before been seen in that way\, the birth through technological change and advances in aviation technology of a whole new of seeing and thus describing the world. \n  \nRegistration via: https://www.history.ac.uk/events/new-culture-air-we-finally-see-groundmindedness-1930s
