Abstract

(I) Mobilities in Prehistory. People, resources, objects, sites and territories is the result of the acknowledgement of human mobility as a central subject in archaeological research. It presents itself as a book with a plural and broad range, showcasing several contributions with distinctive theoretical and methodological approaches, multiple empirical case studies and different geographies across a large time span. This holistic and integrated framework is the one that is required to analyse mobility, a complex and multidimensional phenomenon of undeniable importance for the understanding of the dynamics that shaped past communities and their relations, not only between themselves, but also with the territory - dynamics that take shape in artefacts and structures, in built and lived landscapes bestowed to the passage of time. More than a contribution about a subject that explores divergent paths, this book intends, as well, to challenge other investigators to push forward a theme full of potential and relevance in a world that is now, more than ever before, in motion.

Abstract

How are im/mobilities articulated, imagined and practiced in relation to multiple futures? A critical examination of im/mobilities raises questions as to how power relations and crisis-driven futures enable, inhibit or prevent mobility, what meanings are culturally constructed around im/mobilities and how they are experienced. The contributors to this volume look at entangled future mobilities and immobilities using humanities and social science approaches in diverse examples: Afrofuturist poetry, de-extinction projects, dystopian novels, a Uruguayan planned relocation program, lives of rural Zambian women, climate adaptation in Morocco and Austrian financial literacy policy.

Abstract

Based on extensive field research, Susanne U. Schultz analyses the social situations following deportation for Malian men - their supposedly »failed« migratory adventures -, the implications for their social environment and broader society. In light of the current migration and development policy of the European Union and its externalization to Sub-Saharan Africa, she provides insight in the still understudied issue of people's everyday life after forced returns, exemplifying the effects of intra-African and European deportation regimes and the reactions to them. In doing so, this ethnographic study creates empirical knowledge on key issues in migration research, policy, and practice in a charged debate.

Abstract

"The book's trans-imperial approach draws connections among Belgian, British, French, German, Italian, and Portuguese colonies to show that the technological and infrastructural imperatives of motor vehicles and roads in Africa shaped the administration of empire, social relations between colonizer and colonized, and the culture of the automobile in Europe"-

Abstract

Mobility is a keyword of late modernity that suggests an increasingly unrestrained and interconnected world of individual opportunities. However, as privileges enable some to live in a seemingly borderless world, others remain excluded and marginalized. Boundaries are created, modified and consolidated, particularly in times of hypermobility. Evidently, mobility is closely tied to immobility. This volume features ethnographic research that challenges the concept of mobility with regard to social inequalities and global hierarchies. »An important and timely contribution to mobilities research. Regarding the sophisticated use of language and analysis of the cases, the volume is suitable for researchers or graduate students who have some experience with mobilities literature rather than under graduate students or beginners in the field.« Ilkay Tas Gursoy, Anatolia, 05.06.2017 Besprochen in: Swiss Migration News, 05.07.2016 Contemporary Sociology 46/6 (2018), Emily Rauscher

Abstract

During early ontogeny, stimuli that pose a threat to an animal change. Unrelated adult male rats may kill young rats, bur infanticide ends around weaning. Predation, on the other hand may increase during early ontogeny when mts begin to extend their activity range. We investigated the developmental course of two defensive responses, immobility and analgesia, in young rats exposed to an adult male rat or to predator cues. Preweaning 14-day-old mts became immobile and analgesic when exposed to the male and showed immobility but not analgesia when exposed to cat odor On Day 26, around weaning, the presence of the male rat no longer induced immobility and analgesia whereas cat odor produced higher levels of immobility and analgesia compared to control and male-exposed animals. This developmental change in responsivity may reflect the differences in the risk of being harmed by a male or a cat during different periods of ontogeny. (C) 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc
