“…Here, we confront a terminological dilemma: do we connote the dense and active web of intra‐EU international moves as mobility or migration? The “mobilities turn” has many supporters (especially its pioneer Urry, ; see also Cresswell, ; Adey, ), and several important texts on European migration/mobility opt for the “mobility” term in their titles (e.g., Cairns, ; Favell, ; Recchi, ; Recchi & Favell, ). For sure, the boundary between migration and mobility is blurred: they are overlapping but nevertheless distinct concepts.…”

This paper's objective is to offer a range of appropriate theoretical formulations to better understand the unfolding dynamics and characteristics of new European youth migrations. After an extensive contextual introduction that sets the recent historical, institutional, and economic scene, the paper presents and critically evaluates the usefulness of five theoretical frameworks:(a) neoliberal "Single Market" economics and free movement of persons and labour; (b) the renewed relevance of the core-periphery model of spatial economic structure and resultant migration flows; (c) "liquid migration" and its defining ethos of "intentional unpredictability"; (d) the intersection of migration with "youth transitions"; and (e) the "lifestyle migration" approach.

“…Mobility geographers highlight the embodied and experienced aspects of mobility as being the most significant realm for contemporary research. It is through felt and lived practices that we relate to and experience the world around us (Adey ; Cresswell ). Informed by phenomenological thinking, which understands the lived body to be at the centre of geographical experience/meaning, mobility becomes embodied intentionality and consciousness (Cresswell ) or a dwelling in the world (Ingold ).…”

This article argues for the importance of geographic engagements with pilgrimage and its analysis through the lenses, considerations and sympathies of the mobilities turn. Pilgrimage is being increasingly recognised as a multifaceted sociocultural spatial practice that plays a significant role in the lives of millions of people and in numerous sites across the world. The geographies of mobilities' emphasis on movement and practices in shaping the world enable the formation of new understandings of pilgrimage. This article builds on the links being forged between the study of pilgrimage and the mobility f ield, by showing how pilgrimage, as an activity that is focused on performances in specific places, can be analysed as an embodied mobility. Pilgrimage is explored as a meaningful journey in which the performance entwines the outer physical and inner spiritual/emotion journey in a process that defines and shapes the people and places involved.

“…The article starts with two simple observations concerning transportation and mobility scholarship. First, transport workers, primarily drivers, are conspicuously absent from the critical mobilities literature (Adey ; Cresswell ; Hannam et al. ; Sheller and Urry ), and critical urban transport research in particular (Aldred ; Docherty and Shaw ; Enright ; Kębłowski et al.…”

Placing Transport Workers on the Agenda: The Conflicting Logics of Governing Mobility on Bishkek's Marshrutkas

Transport workers are conspicuously absent from both mobilities and urban studies literature. This paper therefore starts out with a double critique. First, transport workers, primarily drivers, are largely disregarded in mobilities and urban transport research. Second, the literature we find on transport workers—mostly based in empirical settings in the global South—remains outside recent and ongoing debates in critical urban transport studies. Providing empirical insights from post‐Soviet Central Asia, this paper strives to close these gaps and delve into the struggles and cleavages that structure informal transport workers’ positions and livelihoods. We argue that the diverse and contradictory logics that govern urban mobility affect the livelihoods and working conditions of informal transport workers, as well as their choices and motivations. These, in turn, significantly shape mobility provision, in terms of urban transport's (lack of) affordability, accessibility, convenience and safety.
