Im-possible moorings and mobilities: the story of Jules’ Undersea Lodge, the world’s only fully submerged hotel
This paper shows how and why it is ‘im-possible’—i.e. simultaneously possible and impossible—for humans to travel and stay underwater by narrating the story of how Jules’ Undersea Lodge was designed and how its guests can remain there for relatively long periods of time. Drawing from interviews with its designer, Ian Koblick, reflexive ethnographic material collected at Key Largo’s (Florida) Jules’ Undersea Lodge in the early spring of 2024, and an interview with Joseph Dituri—who in 2023 set a world record for the longest time spent in an underwater habitat – we conceptualize im-possibility as a dialectical tension between possibility and impossibility.
期刊介绍:
Mobilities examines both the large-scale movements of people, objects, capital, and information across the world, as well as more local processes of daily transportation, movement through public and private spaces, and the travel of material things in everyday life. Recent developments in transportation and communications infrastructures, along with new social and cultural practices of mobility, present new challenges for the coordination and governance of mobilities and for the protection of mobility rights and access. This has elicited many new research methods and theories relevant for understanding the connections between diverse mobilities and immobilities.
