With the help of luminaries such as Deleuze, Bergson, Barthes and Beckett, this book interweaves cutting-edge theoretical insight with empirical illustrations which examine and traverse a multitude of practices, spaces and events. In an era where stasis, slowness and passivity are often held to be detrimental, this collection puts forward a new set of political and ethical concerns which help us to come to terms with, understand, and account for (im)mobile life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eStillness in a Mobile World\u003c\/em\u003e in an essential source of reference for both undergraduate and post-graduate students working within disciplines such as cultural studies, sociology, mobility studies, and human geography.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Bissell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415572622\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415572620\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.23lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.63d","brand":"David Bissell","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48064934904063,"sku":"9780415572620","price":220.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e56f33c6-3ed8-44bd-9acd-f7e6d9f249eb.jpg?v=1768672025","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/stillness-in-a-mobile-world-david-bissell-9780415572620","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
