But sometimes ships are immobile—they stop and remain stationary for short or prolonged times. A degree of stasis inside and outside ports is both usual and essential for facilitating the movement of ships in global markets. This paper makes two important points: first, echoing existing literature, frequent stationarity (or waiting) is a normal occurrence in the industry. Second, it is not just mobilities that are disrupted via moments of stasis; immobilities themselves have distinct patterns that too can be disrupted. This nuance is vital: there is a need to understand the disruptions to immobilities rather than understanding immobilities as disruptions to the general condition of mobility, both within—and beyond—the shipping example. We argue that understanding disruptions to immobilities is vital to grasping the dynamics of shipping, alongside other (im)mobilites (car, train, plane), their conditions, and the politics that shape our world on the move. Using a data-driven approach, embracing AIS methods for exploring ship stationarity around US waters during the COVID-19 pandemic, this paper upends the assumptions of ship (im)mobilities through the example of wait times, calling for scholars to give space and time to everyday immobilities and their disruptions too.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51457,"journal":{"name":"Mobilities","volume":"20 1","pages":"Pages 34-47"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143133660","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We follow a day in the working life of marine pilots—a specialist, locally-based workforce who board foreign-flagged ships to dock them safely. Their labour process is, we argue, a form of choreography: executing motions in correspondence with other workers, infrastructures, vessels, and environmental forces. Increasingly volatile oceanic conditions require technical knowledge of ships and guiding equipment, plus deep place-based knowledge of port idiosyncrasies and responsiveness to elemental forces—working with rather than against swell and wind, tides, channels, and weather. While global shipping becomes ever more cutthroat in pursuit of efficiencies, marine pilots choreograph mobilities with respect for earthly forces and the bulk and power of ships and seas, and thus perform the necessary infrastructural labour that offsets risk. Amidst worsening environmental hazards, we offer choreography as an analytical frame to centre the work, workers, collaboration, and more-than-human interactions underpinning mobilities.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51457,"journal":{"name":"Mobilities","volume":"20 1","pages":"Pages 48-66"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141922073","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article addresses the intelligibility of walking trajectories in public space, how they are bodily achieved and visibly interpreted. It reflects on mobility by relying on the notion of <em>public</em> in two different but complementary perspectives: a) by reference to mobility in the context of public places such as parks, squares, and streets; b) by reference to the public intelligibility and recognizability of mobile actions in social interaction. The convergence between these two notions of <em>public</em> enables us to investigate how mobile social actions are formed (made <em>recognizable</em>) and how they are ascribed (actually <em>recognized</em>) by co-present unacquainted persons in public space.

Drawing on mobility studies and discourse analysis, this paper compares how the Dutch and British national press frame micromobility. We identify five frames of micromobility: (1) as sustainable and active shift, predominant in the British press; (2) as disruption of the Dutch pedal-powered cycling regime; (3) as catalyst of conflicts in public space, both in the Dutch and British press; (4) around the shortcomings of micromobility regulations in both contexts; and (5) concerning lifestyle in the Dutch context. We demonstrate how media framings of micromobility only limitedly discuss its potential to transition from automobility, focusing instead on social status changes, regulatory challenges, and conflicts between different forms of micromobility, that are already marginalized. Our findings emphasize the urgency to put the transition from automobility—the elephant in the room—on the agenda.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51457,"journal":{"name":"Mobilities","volume":"19 6","pages":"Pages 1054-1075"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141680975","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

I distinguish between sedentarist metaphors (construction, transfer) and mobile metaphors (focusing on translation, contagion, friction, and circulation). I show that, although all these metaphors share a common attention to knowledge as mobile, they are neither synonymous nor interchangeable. They each structure how we think about and research epistemic mobilities in their own way. I find that mobile metaphors in particular are most compatible with, and can contribute to, the development of the mobile ontology that characterises the mobilities turn. I illustrate this using a case study of the epistemic mobilities of the idea of climate migration in the French context. From this example, I draw key lessons for studies of epistemic mobilities. I argue for a diverse, nuanced conceptual vocabulary of epistemic mobilities, leading to a nuanced, relational understanding of space, scale, and how to trace the mobilities of knowledge in practice.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51457,"journal":{"name":"Mobilities","volume":"19 6","pages":"Pages 925-941"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140233432","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}

Through the analysis of research results, this article proposes a conceptual framework for studying return mobilities and thus contributes to a better understanding of return and re-adaptation realities. Drawing upon 33 interviews with Polish long-term international migrants returning to Poland, the text analyzes their re-adaptation in three layers: individual experience, social relationships, and social environment, and thus, reveals various degrees of re-adaptation. The analysis demonstrates that a complete return requires adaptation in all three layers. Nevertheless, the individual experiencing of return is crucial and determines the process in other layers. To better understand re-adaptation, future research needs to elaborate more on migrants’ individual properties that govern the post-return experiences and to consider the perspective of the receiving society that does or does not welcome the returnees.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51457,"journal":{"name":"Mobilities","volume":"19 6","pages":"Pages 1099-1115"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142747742","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Finally, greater car use has resulted in mass road traffic injuries and fatalities, which presents another threat to the growth and maintenance of this unique form of automobility. While these antagonisms present a risk, they have also been leveraged as a means to establish and secure the dominance of automobility. As part of a wider study exploring discourses of opposition to redistributive active travel measures in Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown, Ireland, this paper illustrates how active travel measures that present a challenge to automobility are depicted as disruptive, dangerous and dirty. These measures, precisely designed to mitigate the antagonisms of mass car use, are construed instead as primary causes of these systemic externalities.
