Diverse factors like globalization, geopolitical tensions, and the transformation of lifestyles are strengthening the role of mobility as a structuring dimension of contemporary societies. Social-science research has taken note of these changes, but few studies cross the different forms of mobility, ranging from commuting to tourists and backpackers, and on to seasonal workers or international migrants. The diversity of mobility situations studied in this book highlights the contribution of the reality of mobility in the daily construction of urban, regional, and global spaces, as well as in the redefinition of socio-spatial concepts. By using an interdisciplinary relational approach, the book revisits certain concepts such as exclusion, heritage, or distance, in order to understand spatialities beyond the oppositions of fixity/mobility, private/public, or here/elsewhere. The book sheds light on the capacities for resistance of mobile persons in Singapore, Dakar, Bangkok, Amman, Paris, New York, or Mexico by studying the power relationships that are established in situations of mobility. By deciphering the values that characterize regimes of (im)mobility, the contributors stress the normative injunctions of public policies and social practices. The originality of the work lies in capturing the deployment of alternative spatialities and underlining how they are reshaped between sedentary and mobility regimes. It highlights the importance of fully associating mobility with its characteristics of ephemerality and fluidity, in our theorizations and understandings of spatialities. By taking a post-structuralist posture, the book makes it possible to establish a logic of 'and' to design a 'between' of things, and to reverse ontology. This allows the temporary and the connected to be rehabilitated, beyond distance,in our practical knowledge of spatialities and territorialities. As such, the volume will be of interest to scholars of geography, sociology, anthropology, and urban studies with interests in mobility, migration and relational thought.

Les mobilités et les espaces publics sont deux objets qui méritent d'être articulés, et ce, afin de mieux comprendre les enjeux de l'espace des sociétés. Ce livre montre que les mobilités inscrivent les espaces publics à des échelles bien plus larges que celles auxquelles ils sont habituellement appréhendés. Il donne aussi à voir combien les espaces publics mettent les mobilités aux prises avec l'altérité du monde et des corps. Issues de divers horizons disciplinaires (géographie, urbanisme, sociologie, science politique), les contributions s'appuient sur une large palette de territoires, en France et dans le monde, et de méthodes, y compris les plus expérimentales : recherche-création, traversées sonores ou déambulations participatives. En faisant de la mobilité une catégorie fondatrice de l'espace public, ce volume donne tout son sens à l'expérience du passage comme matrice inattendue de l'espace des sociétés, à travers laquelle se fait et se défait le commun.
