Description
The trends in the mobility approach in Anglophone human geography and sociology are reviewed from its backgrounds and limitations. The author compares the characteristics of theories on mobility form the sociologists Urry and Sheller, and the geographers, Thrift, Merriman, Cresswell and Adey. In sociology, the mobility approach concerns the criticism of modernization from post-modernism. From its viewpoints, Speed-up of transport and communication in technological innovations are criticized as a symbol of modernization. However, in geography, the phenomenology of Merleau-Ponty and Spinoza and Deleuze’s concept of affects encourages to form and develop Thrift’s Non-Representational Theory. These theories are served as the background for forming mobility approach regarding the “transformation of physicality in modern timespace. Therefore, the concept of stillness is essential in the proposed notion of mobility, as the emotional concept of affect. Hence, the pain and anxiety of motion and stillness are clarified. In conclusion, the mobility approach is an extension of the development of phenomenology and humanism, and an individual is subjects to research. It differs from conventional positivistic geography in epistemology and methodology. So, the collective viewpoint of region or landscape is not a subject of investigation. In the mobility approach, individuals alternatively form a relational and topological space due to motion and stillness of their body through transportation and communication at an each ‘place’.
