Kurzfassung:
Scholars from various disciplines have used key concepts to grasp mobilities, but as of yet, a working vocabulary of these has not been fully developed. Given this context and inspired in part by Raymond Williams' Keywords (1976), this edited volume presents contributions that critically analyze mobility-related keywords: capital, cosmopolitanism, freedom, gender, immobility, infrastructure, motility, and regime. Each chapter provides an historical context, a critical analysis of how the keyword has been used in relation to mobility, and a conclusion that proposes future usage or research. Review: "This book is very enlightening, covering areas of thought and research which are at present clearly on a lively frontier of scholarship... The editors are well placed to take on the task of organizing and introducing this topic - as notions of "mobility" have become increasingly prominent in recent anthropology. Noel B. Salazar has an overview of the field which may well be unmatched in anthropology." * Ulf Hannerz, Stockholm University "The idea of exploring keywords offers a useful intervention into the field of mobilities research, which is especially useful for teaching. The choice of keywords is excellent, and the framing of each chapter is very good. The contributors are up to date on the current literature and debates of interest to the field." * Mimi Sheller, Drexel University, USA
