摘要:This article examines the circulation of people between Lisbon and four other European cities (Berlin, Brussels, London, Paris) in terms of the difficulties that it can cause. The proposed approach articulates three dimensions, namely the construction of practices of circulation between cities at a biographical scale, the way families deal with the circulation of one or more of its members, and the daily experience of places frequented in each of the cities. Taking into account these three dimensions offers a means to characterize the people who circulate in terms of mobility situations through which they conceive of the wearisome dimension of circulation. Mobility situations that are well appreciated seem to reveal a relatively balanced way of life associated with circulation. However, the article identifies a number of factors that may contribute to weaken or qualify these situations: weariness, lack of space of identification and project, management within family of the absence of those who circulate, changes in relation to places of healing, and limitations in practicing the places that structure the space of circulation. Overall, there is no clear segmentation between these situations of mobility in terms of difficulty. Situations of mobility that are very different can be experienced in many varied ways. The tiring dimension of circulation ultimately depends on a combination of factors which, taken separately, have no mechanical effect.
