This book shares findings on entangled future mobilities and immobilities from the humanities and social sciences in diverse case studies.

FORMATPaperback CONDITIONBrand New Publisher Description

The possibilities of the future constitute people's decisions, aspirations, hopes, imaginations and experiences regarding everyday practices of im/mobility. This raises questions as to how power relations and crisis-driven futures enable, inhibit, or prevent mobility, what meanings are culturally constructed around im/mobilities, and how they are experienced by actors. The contributors share findings on entangled future mobilities and immobilities from the humanities and social sciences in diverse case studies - such as Afrofuturistic poetry, dystopian novels, a Uruguayan planned relocation program, lives of rural Zambian women, and climate adaptation in Morocco.
