GE4226 Mobile Spaces: Making Social Worlds [2220]
This module offers students theoretical and applied understandings of mobilities as a productive site of social life, culture and politics. Drawing insights from the ‘new’ mobilities paradigm, it demonstrates how movement is not a sterile activity or zone, but a space replete with meaning. To exemplify this point, this course takes transport as a lens of analysis, and interrogates its organization and experience. Three aspects will be emphasized, namely the identities and embodiments latent in transportation; the infrastructures of transit; and the (geo)politics of mobility. Case studies will be drawn internationally, including Asia.
