“…the new "mobilities paradigm" is encouraging scholars to engage with the materiality of built and natural environments and with communities themselves (Anderson, 2004;brown & durrheim, 2009;carpiano, 2009;Hein, evans, & Jones, 2008;riley & Harvey, 2007;Sheller & Urry, 2006). while mobility risks becoming a mantra, and is too often invoked uncritically, it offers us an opportunity to rethink existing research and creative practices.…”

Tens of thousands of oral history interviews sitting in archival drawers, on computer hard drives, or on library bookshelves have never been listened to. Thousands of new interviews are being added each year by the many large testimony projects now underway, including Canada’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission and the Historica–Dominion Institute’s Memory Project. Although the existence of these immense collections is widely known, the interviews are difficult to access. How can we combine oral history and new media to ensure that the potential of such important projects is fully realized? Emergent and digital technologies are opening up new possibilities for accessing Canadian memories and transmitting them to various audiences. New forms of media are changing the ways we think about and do oral and public history.Des milliers d’entrevues d’histoire orale oubliées dans des tiroirs d’archives, sur des disques durs et sur des étagères de bibliothèque n’ont jamais été écoutées. En même temps, chaque année, de nouvelles entrevues viennent s’ajouter par milliers dans le cadre de grands projets de témoignage, y compris la Commission de vérité et réconciliation du Canada et le Projet Mémoire de l’Institut Historica Dominion. Bien que l’existence de ces collections immenses ne soit guère un secret, les entretiens sont difficiles d’accès. Comment peut-on combiner l’histoire orale et les nouveaux médias afin de réaliser pleinement le potentiel de projets si importants? Des technologies numériques récentes présentent de nouvelles possibilités pour accéder aux souvenirs canadiens et les transmettre à divers publics. En effet, de nouvelles formes de média sont en train de changer les manières de penser et de pratiquer l’histoire orale et publique.

“…Relatedly, empirical analyses have privileged not the functionality of moving from A to B but experiences and socio-cultural constructions of mobilities (Cresswell, 2006;Jensen, 2009). The methodological challenges and opportunities of studying mobilities have also contributed to the emergence of 'mobile methods' that combine and re-orientate traditions such as ethnography with the use of new technologies such as the smart phone (Büscher and Urry, 2009;Büscher et al, 2011;Fincham et al, 2010;Hein et al, 2008). All of these developments stem from prioritising the specificities of mobility itself, and mark a contrast with studies in which mobility is treated as an incidental part of a wider phenomenon.…”

Traces of a Mobile Field

Since the launch of this journal ten years ago, the field of mobilities research has developed at a rapid pace. In this editorial introduction we explore how this development has been curated, how the field has evolved, and what maturation might mean for mobilities research. After reviewing how early editorials encouraged particular trajectories of development within mobilities research, we introduce the papers in this special issue, which build upon and re-shape key discussions that have emerged in the last decade. Drawing out issues of power, interdisciplinarity, social processes and futures, the papers raise important questions about not only how understandings of mobilities are changing, but also how the field of mobilities research is itself on the move. Taking up these themes, we examine how understanding mobilities research as a field, following Bourdieu (1984), contributes to considerations of the potential for future struggles, fragmentation, and sub-disciplines. We argue that the open nature and strategic diversity of the mobilities field has fed the successes of the past decade, and therefore needs to remain a priority in the future -with a careful balance curated between convergence around key themes and the exploration of varied 'internal goods' (MacIntyre 1985) which remain an important source of inspiration and creative potential within the field.

“…The triangulation of methods that interests us in this paper assumes the use of more than two research methods, as different as possible and offering tools to examine phenomena in a variety of relations (Jick 1979). This seems to be a key assumption in studies of movement patterns by GIS tracking if research of this type is to develop and lead to an explanation of human spatial behaviour (Ricketts et al 2008;Gibson et al 2010).…”

The application of GIS and GPS methods together with qualitative sociological methods is one of the current fields of discussion in studies of human behaviour in space. The authors ask about the justification, manner and value of using the 'triad': quantitative GIS measurement methods -qualitative sociological methods -quasi-experiment. A mixed-method approach in an analysis of human movement patterns is introduced. Also, the role of the investigator in such projects is discussed.key woRds: methodological triangulation, movement pattern research, qualitative sociological methods, behavioural experiment, role of researcher
