In this study, I explore the unique experiences and practices of parent-child mobility with the e-cargo bike in the low-cycling context of Ireland. This analysis uncovers how <em>e-cargo cycle parenting</em> reproduces practices fundamental to <em>car-parenting</em>: providing mobility for children and confining mobility of children. As a (temporary) technology for providing mobility, the e-cargo bike was experienced as a superior form of automobility than the car for meeting everyday parental mobility demands. By segregating children from the street and immobilising them in a vehicle, the e-cargo bike functioned as a space of confinement. Unlike the car, the e-cargo bike afforded a unique sensitivity to the natural world and local environment. This enabled parents to train their children in local geography and responsible mobility, thereby building their competences for independent mobility in the future while normalising everyday mobility without the car.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51457,"journal":{"name":"Mobilities","volume":"21 3","pages":"Pages 704-721"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2026-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148268480","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

After their arrival, however, I show how the highly stratified tourism economy, interlocking with restrictive regimes of mobility, exacerbated their sense of precarity. Following recent calls for a mobility perspective that includes both migrants and non-migrants, I secondly argue that such an experience of migrant uncertainty needs to be understood against a global background of instability, which is particularly visible in the context of international tourism and the environmental and social transformations this industry brings about. To do so, I compare and contrast the modes of navigation – such as externalizing or embodying – adopted by various locals (migrants or not) when faced with the upsetting paradoxes of tourism and the uneven consequences of such strategies for their lives.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51457,"journal":{"name":"Mobilities","volume":"21 3","pages":"Pages 580-593"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2026-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148268474","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork in the Gambia and focusing on the narrative of a Gambian man who attempted to travel through the Sahara Desert, Libya and the Mediterranean in 2016, I argue that radical, violent uncertainty transformed the dynamics of migrant mobilities in two ways. Firstly, it shaped them into what I described as ‘battlefield mobilities’ – dangerous, hectic, desperate actions, aimed at fighting obstacles and escaping violence and exploitation. Secondly, it enforced frequent immobility into the journey – either through violent immobilization or as a way of navigating the danger. I referred to this joint dynamics as ‘battlefield (im)mobilities’. The metaphor of a ‘battle’ conveys the symbolic and practical importance of mobility northwards in Gambian aspirations, the lethal risk of undertaking it, and the consequent dynamics of undocumented journeys. At an existential level, migrants deal with the dangerous uncertainty by viewing it through the lens of ‘luck’, understood as part of each person’s individual destiny. Rather than being a purely local cultural notion, however, ‘luck’, reflects experiences shaped by specific power relations at a global level.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51457,"journal":{"name":"Mobilities","volume":"21 3","pages":"Pages 610-626"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2026-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148268476","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this agenda article, we outline a theory and practice of situated technopolitical transition to respond to the power-filled automobilities being implanted in global Southern cities. Our theorization begins from the assertion that transition studies is not universal, as often presupposed, but rather highly contextual and emerging from a specific experience of colonial modernity. Drawing upon ethnographic research in Indian cities complemented with relational comparison with other contexts, we sample a range of situational politics that surround efforts to manage automobilization. We assert that, the technopolitics of global automobilities include phenomena such as the worlding of globalizing cities; kinetic elite claims to street space; and the invisibilization of women and others. We conclude by outlining the practice of an alternate techno-political transition strategy that is rooted in a Southern politics of radical incrementalism.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51457,"journal":{"name":"Mobilities","volume":"21 2","pages":"Pages 290-307"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2026-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148202552","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

First, I find that a minority of posters found rideshare partners. Few people requesting rides—many of whom had limited resources—reported making successful connections with other ridesharers. Meanwhile, many former or current ridehail drivers posted on Craigslist and regularly connected with passengers. To overcome concerns about sharing space with strangers, some Craigslist posters relied on heuristics like gender and communication styles. Some ride-seekers—especially female ones—expressed apprehension about violence or expectations of sexual favors. Additionally, different factors influenced views of ridesharing, including the desire to make or save money, previous experience ridesharing, and perceptions of physical vulnerability. Informal ridesharers face real and persistent barriers. Public policies could encourage vehicle-sharing, including for intercity travel, by lowering the transaction costs of sharing with strangers, raising the cost of driving alone, or subsidizing other intercity services.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51457,"journal":{"name":"Mobilities","volume":"21 2","pages":"Pages 343-362"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2026-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148202555","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Departing from conventional conceptions of ‘home’ as a static location or predetermined condition, this paper adopts ‘homing’ as a theoretical concept to capture the ongoing, processual, and often incomplete formation of home. Based on 15 in-depth interviews, this study reveals that students’ homing experiences are shaped by the intersection of sexuality and ethnicity, as evidenced by their marginalization and exclusion within both the Chinese community and the local queer community. They also deal with ongoing political censorship from China, which forces them to practice self-censorship and adopt self-protection strategies. These experiences with local structures of inequality and the enduring influence of the past home illustrate that queer migration is not a straightforward path toward liberation and empowerment. By capturing Chinese queer international students’ feelings of displacement and their ongoing negotiations with both their country of origin and the host society, this paper highlights homing as an embodied, non-linear, and continuous process shaped by transnational power structures and intersecting identities, including sexuality, ethnicity, citizenship, and migration status.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51457,"journal":{"name":"Mobilities","volume":"21 2","pages":"Pages 468-480"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2026-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148202665","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
