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","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45236382204055,"sku":"9780415860819","price":4285.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780415860819.webp?v=1769212805","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/stillness-in-a-mobile-world-9780415860819","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
