The Power of Mobility
From distant discourse to embodied experience
Dr. Noel B. Salazar
University of Leuven
It is important to identify not only various forms of
human mobility but also the (re)production of
socio-culturally shared meanings through diverse
discourses as well as practices of movement. Any
discourse and experience of human mobility is
inevitably value-laden. Distinctions are made,
which ultimately feed back into the production of
the social through culturally inflected notions of
what ‘mobility’ means. The currently dominant
mobility discourse, for instance, equates
geographical movement with social fluidity. In this
talk, I illustrate the dialectic relation between
ideologies of (im)mobility and actual practices of
people ‘on the move’.
