This book collects critical observations in the context of the history, current state, and future of the fledgling interdisciplinary field of mobility studies. The twelve essays in cultural studies and the social sciences reflect work conducted at the Research Platform "Mobile Cultures and Societies," hosted by the University of Vienna, Austria. Topics include migration, flight, gendered mobilities, mobility and mediality, mobile collectives, moving images, protest movements as well as translation and transfer. Together with an introduction on the conceptualization and significance of mobility studies and an essay by Mimi Sheller on the futures of uneven mobilities, which anticipates current experiences of immobilization and quarantine, the articles present original contributions to this topical field of research.
