摘要：For at least the last fifteen years, research carried out in social science and focusing on movementof individuals and their physical, political, social and cultural dimensions, etc. have stronglycontributed to renewing transport studies and to stabilizing the field of mobility. This field,which crosses disciplinary approaches, contributed to the widening of some restrictive perspectivesto mobility that would primarily or solely consider displacement (as getting moved from Ato B) on the one hand, or, on the other hand, a change of social status within society that wouldbe determined by an environment (developed, social or professional). Mobility characterizes allthat exists around displacement and physical movement, may that be infrastructure, relationship,power, spatiality, and so on. More broadly, mobility refers to what makes displacementpossible and, reversely, to what displacement makes possible. In that sense, mobility encompassesculture, meaning, representations, bodies and their sensory issues. Meanwhile, the growinginterest towards senses, affect and atmospheres in the humanities and social science also contributesto extending the investigations and thematic openings inherent to mobility studies.
