This book investigates how practices of community carsharing are influencing everyday mobility. It argues that hegemonic practices of automobility are reconfigured through practices of community carsharing, thereby challenging capitalist mobilities in the realm of everyday life.

Through a detailed empirical study of practices of community carsharing and its practitioners in the rural regions around Munich, Germany, this book reveals how the practice contributes to the emergence of alternative automobile practices, meanings, identities and subjectivities. It also explores the embedding of automobility into its ecological context, the connection of function and community in practices of community carsharing and the changing of ownership relations through a process of commoning mobility. This reconfiguration of everyday practices of automobility takes place through processes of everyday resistance, re-embedding and commoning, and ultimately results in the emergence of an alternative mobility culture, thereby facilitating the dissemination of an alternative common sense of community carsharing.

This book on community carsharing provides a valuable insight into carsharing in rural settings and exemplifies how carsharing specifically, and sharing mobilities in general, can contribute to a social-ecological mobility transition. The work will be of particular interest to scholars and practitioners working in mobility studies and mobilities.

Luca Nitschke completed his Ph.D. at the Munich Center for Technology in Society (MCTS) and Nürtingen-Geislingen University as a member of the mobil.LAB Doctoral Research Group, funded by the Hans-Böckler-Foundation, located at the Chair for Urban Structure and Transport Planning at the Technical University of Munich. He works at the Institute for Social-Ecological Research (ISOE) in Frankfurt. His research interests lie in the relationship between mobilities practices, capitalism and processes of change.

He studied Environmental Sciences in Bielefeld and Environmental Studies in Barcelona, Aveiro, Aalborg and New York City, and he is a founding member of the Center for Emancipatory Technology (ZET), Basel.
