GEOGRAPHICAL STUDIES ON POLITICS OF MOBILITY:ORIGINS AND TOPICS
Mobility is a way to connect people,things and places.The"mobility turn"in the 1990s triggered a reflection in the academic community on the issue of"mobility",claiming that spatial mobility had richer meanings rather than measuring the cost of time and space.Subsequently,it promoted the proposal and devel-opment of"geographies of mobility",in which mobility had become an important geographical concept be-yond space,location,network,scale,and territory.As a result,mobility needed to be placed back at the cen-ter of geographical research.And then,mobility research attempted to break through the limitations of the tra-ditional disciplinary framework,and thus it proposed a"new mobilities paradigm"and called for multidisci-plinary and transdisciplinary research with a focus on diversified mobility practices and their meanings.With the increasing attention paid to political issues such as differentiation,imbalance,fairness and justice within mobility practices,the concept of"politics of mobility"has emerged in this process and become an important topic with academic and practical value in the study of new mobilities paradigms.The geographical study of"politics of mobility"in Western literature has gradually become a prominent subject.From the perspective of geography,this paper combines and analyzes existing literature,trying to deepen the understanding of the politics of mobility and reveal its development process and current situation.
