Neighbourhoods play a crucial role in residents’ everyday lives. People become attached to neighbourhood attributes throughout their lives and various activities performed within residential environments. Everyday time-space mobility routines actively impact how residents connect with their neighbourhoods. This paper aims to analyse residents’ links with their residential surroundings arising from their everyday spatial behaviours. It examines the topic in two dynamically transforming neighbourhood types in the Prague Metropolitan Area and from the perspectives of two population groups: older children from the suburbs and older adults from the gentrifying inner city. The study adopted qualitative data analysis using semi-structured interviews. Both groups fulfil neighbourhood attachments through various obligatory and optional movement types as well as accompanying social ties that constitute an important part of such moves. The neighbourhood links achieved through movement are shaped by complex mechanisms that occur at various spatial and temporal scales adding to the variety of functional and affective meanings of everyday mobility practices. They emerge along life-course shifts of individuals, changes in the neighbourhoods and activities happening within these spatial contexts. Residents then use numerous adaptive strategies to adjust their movements (and in turn their links with the neighbourhoods) to the combined effects of those conditions.

社区在居民的日常生活中起着至关重要的作用。人们在他们的生活和在居住环境中进行的各种活动中变得与社区属性密切相关。日常的时空流动习惯积极地影响着居民与社区的联系。本文旨在分析居民日常空间行为所产生的与居住环境的联系。它从两个人口群体的角度考察了布拉格大都市区两个动态变化的社区类型的主题：来自郊区的年龄较大的儿童和来自中产阶级化的内城的老年人。本研究采用半结构化访谈的定性数据分析方法。这两个群体通过各种强制性和可选的运动类型以及伴随的社会关系来实现邻里依恋，这些社会关系构成了这种运动的重要组成部分。通过运动实现的邻里联系是由复杂的机制形成的，这些机制发生在不同的空间和时间尺度上，增加了日常移动实践的各种功能和情感意义。它们随着个人生命历程的变化、社区的变化和在这些空间背景下发生的活动而出现。然后，居民使用许多适应性策略来调整他们的行动（以及他们与社区的联系），以适应这些条件的综合影响。

The local trains of Mumbai, known for their excessive crowding and cramped conditions, are a popular public transport system due to the vast spread of the network and cheap pricing. These trains are also used extensively by women due to the provision of exclusive segregated ladies’ compartments. However, women still need to negotiate with crowds, and push and jostle as they struggle to board and deboard trains. Through an ethnographic study of women’s experiences of travelling by trains, I examine how women learn to be mobile and teach others, such as their children, to navigate the local train system. Analysing women’s narratives of how they learnt to use trains, I find that teaching mobility and teaching gender go hand-in-hand, as women simultaneously internalise codes of appropriate femininity to protect themselves from physical and sexual harm, but also subvert mainstream femininities, as they embark on their everyday train journeys.

孟买的本地火车以过度拥挤和拥挤的环境而闻名，但由于其庞大的网络和低廉的价格，它是一种受欢迎的公共交通系统。由于提供了专门的隔离女士车厢，这些火车也被女性广泛使用。然而，女性在上下火车时仍然需要与人群讨价还价，推搡。通过对女性乘坐火车旅行经历的民族志研究，我研究了女性如何学会移动，并教其他人（比如她们的孩子）如何驾驭当地的火车系统。在分析女性如何学会使用火车的叙述时，我发现，传授流动性和传授性别是密不可分的，因为女性同时内化了适当的女性气质守则，以保护自己免受身体和性伤害，但也颠覆了主流的女性气质，因为她们开始了每天的火车旅行。

This article is situated at the intersection of mobility studies, sound studies, and critical disability studies. It centers on the sonic qualities of electric mobility which have changed the urban sound environment. The analysis highlights how associations of the blind have advocated against silent cars. The debate around sound-producing cars is described with regard to three different but related areas. First, I consider how traffic noise is framed as a health hazard, whereas electric vehicles (EVs) incorporate a possible solution to the current noise levels in urban environments despite posing a threat to pedestrian safety. While questioning the positive characteristics ascribed to EVs, I then turn to traffic noise as a productive factor for blind as well as sighted pedestrians’ mobility. This leads me to consider the recently established regulation for Acoustic Vehicle Alerting Systems (AVAS) in EVs and scrutinize the sonic dimension of EVs. Thirdly, synthetic car noise will be analyzed as an innovative component of contemporary sound design and marketing strategies. Consequently, unraveling the co-constitution of blind walking, sonic productions, and electric mobility allows me to emphasize how a just future politics of (auto)mobility necessarily has to consider the senses of pedestrians in their heterogeneous variability.

这篇文章位于流动性研究，声音研究和关键残疾研究的交叉点。它以改变城市声环境的电动汽车的声音质量为中心。该分析强调了盲人协会是如何反对静音汽车的。围绕发声汽车的争论涉及三个不同但相关的领域。首先，我考虑了交通噪音是如何被定义为一种健康危害，而电动汽车（ev）在对行人安全构成威胁的情况下，为当前城市环境中的噪音水平提供了一种可能的解决方案。在质疑电动汽车的积极特性的同时，我转向交通噪音作为盲人和视力正常的行人的行动的生产因素。这促使我考虑最近制定的电动汽车声学车辆警报系统（AVAS）法规，并仔细检查电动汽车的声音尺寸。第三，合成汽车噪音将作为当代声音设计和营销策略的创新组成部分进行分析。因此，通过揭示盲人行走、声音产品和电动交通的共同构成，我可以强调，未来的（汽车）交通政策必须考虑到行人的异质性。

In this paper, I analyse the intersection of settler colonialism, racial capitalism and border violence by examining Cabecitas Blancas a project run by the Yucatecan government to reunite families divided by the US-Mexican border. A unique program in Mexico, Cabecitas Blancas helps elders who have not seen their children living in the United States for at least 10 years, due to their children’s precarious immigration status, reunite for a short period of time. I have developed the term tramitología to show the way the settler colonial state monitors and restrict Indigenous mobility by designating who is “worthy” of government support. I demonstrate how the flow of mostly Maya elders via Cabecitas Blancas between borders is facilitated only because they become state commodities that sustain racial capitalism via tourism and multicultural policies. Ultimately, I argue that reform programs such as Cabecitas Blancas enable and (re)produce exploitation, settler colonialism and border violence. This paper draws on semi-structured interviews with government officials as well as YouTube videos and online news articles depicting different stages of the program.

在本文中，我分析了移民殖民主义、种族资本主义和边境暴力的交叉点，通过考察由尤卡坦政府运营的Cabecitas Blancas项目，该项目旨在让因美墨边境而分离的家庭团聚。Cabecitas Blancas是墨西哥的一个独特项目，它帮助那些由于孩子的移民身份不稳定而在美国至少10年没有见过孩子的老人在短时间内团聚。我发明了tramitología这个词，以显示殖民国家如何通过指定“值得”政府支持的人来监督和限制原住民的流动。我展示了主要是玛雅老人通过Cabecitas Blancas在边境之间的流动是如何被促进的，因为他们成为国家商品，通过旅游业和多元文化政策来维持种族资本主义。最后，我认为像Cabecitas Blancas这样的改革项目使剥削、定居者殖民主义和边境暴力得以实现并（重新）产生。本文采用了对政府官员的半结构化采访，以及YouTube视频和在线新闻报道，描述了该计划的不同阶段。

Many African cities have been experiencing a digital transformation over the past few years. As people become more familiar with digital tools, particularly smartphones, in their daily lives, their uses and practices in terms of mobility are also evolving. This paper aims to explore the impact of smartphones and digital platforms on mobility capacities by targeting students at the University of Kinshasa (UNIKIN). The methodological approach combines observations and semi-structured interviews with fifty-two students, as well as fifteen experts involved in the field of mobility and transport. The results of our study reveal that students in Kinshasa have constantly adapted complex mobility behaviour, that result from challenging transport conditions and relatively high insecurity in public space. In contrast to observations in other African cities, this study reveals limited adoption of digital tools and navigation applications among the students, mainly due to the lack of digitally-enabled transport services, their high cost, and the context of perceived insecurity in public space.

在过去的几年里，许多非洲城市都经历了数字化转型。随着人们在日常生活中越来越熟悉数字工具，特别是智能手机，他们在移动性方面的使用和实践也在不断发展。本文旨在通过针对金沙萨大学（UNIKIN）的学生，探讨智能手机和数字平台对移动能力的影响。方法方法结合了对52名学生和15名参与交通领域的专家的观察和半结构化访谈。我们的研究结果表明，金沙萨的学生不断适应复杂的移动行为，这是由于交通条件的挑战和公共空间相对较高的不安全感造成的。与其他非洲城市的观察结果相比，本研究显示，学生对数字工具和导航应用程序的采用有限，主要原因是缺乏数字化交通服务，其成本高，以及公共空间的不安全感。

The paper adds to the growing literature that considers how COVID-19 has impacted on public transport. It reports on a focus group study in Denmark with both users and non-users of public transport during the pandemic. Focus group participants were asked to talk about and explain their everyday transport mode choices. Whereas the study was based on the assumption that ‘fear of transmission’ would have come to represent a readymade rationalisation resource for people to use to justify if they do not want to use public transport, the participants consistently resisted to rationalise their mode choice-decisions with reference to ‘fear of contagion’. The paper considers if this resistance can be understood as an example of a tension between more governmental and biopolitical governance strategies and more disciplinary governance strategies in liberal societies during the pandemic. It offers a detailed analysis of how participants pre-empt the relevance of risk of contagion for their travel decisions in focus group interaction, and it concludes suggesting its findings indicate a little-explored domain: It appears as if passengers cannot admit to ‘fear of contagion’ without risking appearing incapable of governing themselves in line with liberal governmentalities, thus potentially subjecting themselves to more disciplinary interventions.

越来越多的文献考虑了COVID-19对公共交通的影响，这篇论文为这些文献增加了新的内容。它报告了在丹麦对大流行期间公共交通的使用者和非使用者进行的焦点小组研究。焦点小组的参与者被要求谈论和解释他们每天的交通方式选择。尽管这项研究是基于这样的假设，即“害怕传播”将成为人们在不想使用公共交通时用来证明自己的理由的现成的合理化资源，但参与者始终拒绝以“害怕传染”为参考来合理化他们的模式选择决策。本文考虑了这种阻力是否可以被理解为大流行期间自由社会中更具政府和生物政治治理策略与更具纪律治理策略之间紧张关系的一个例子。该研究详细分析了参与者如何在焦点小组互动中预先防范传染风险与他们的旅行决策的相关性，并得出结论，认为其发现表明了一个很少被探索的领域：似乎乘客不能承认“害怕传染”，否则就会冒着无法按照自由政府的方式管理自己的风险，从而可能使自己受到更多纪律干预。

‘In the name, she lives on’: responsibilities and rehumanization in survivor narratives of vehicular violence “以名义，她活下去”：车辆暴力幸存者叙述中的责任与再人性化

Motor vehicle crashes form a global, though unequally distributed, violence that has killed more people than World War II. Yet, dominant discourses in politics, industry, and media render invisible this violence itself and its political roots in the social and material reconstruction of space in favor of speed, efficiency, and, predominantly, automobility. The narratives of people impacted by vehicular violence remain unstudied, however. Crash survivors regularly participate in public debate, and survivor narratives more widely can have a strong influence on public perception. Drawing on mobilities literature as well as trauma and memory studies, this paper analyzes how survivors and deceased victims’ relatives in the Dutch context narrate three different themes of responsibility, and a fourth theme of rehumanization, in in-depth interviews. On the one hand, we find that the need to make sense of an impactful experience while surrounded by dominant discourses in society, leads survivors to adopt some of those discourses in their narratives. On the other hand, we identify their rehumanization of survivors and deceased victims and their absolution of individual drivers from culpability as hopeful starting points for resisting the automobility system’s dehumanization and for rethinking a-spatial perspectives on ‘safety’ that place responsibility solely on individuals.

机动车碰撞是一种全球性的暴力行为，虽然分布不均，但死亡人数超过了第二次世界大战。然而，在政治、工业和媒体中占主导地位的话语使这种暴力本身及其在社会和物质空间重建中的政治根源变得不可见，而有利于速度、效率和主要是汽车的移动性。然而，受车辆暴力影响的人们的叙述仍未得到研究。坠机幸存者经常参与公共辩论，更广泛的幸存者叙述可以对公众的看法产生强大的影响。本文借鉴流动性文献以及创伤和记忆研究，通过深度访谈，分析了荷兰背景下幸存者和已故受害者亲属如何讲述三种不同的责任主题，以及第四个再人性化主题。一方面，我们发现，在被社会主导话语包围的情况下，需要理解有影响力的经历，导致幸存者在他们的叙述中采用这些话语中的一些。另一方面，我们认为他们对幸存者和死者受害者的再人性化，以及他们对个人司机的免责，是抵制汽车系统的非人性化和重新思考将责任完全放在个人身上的“安全”空间观点的有希望的起点。

The construction of intimacy quite often implies fluxes and mobilities. Building upon this premise, the article delves into the chains of dislocations associated with the transnationalisation of intimacy led by European men and Brazilian women who find themselves in the tourism meeting ground of Ponta Negra (Natal-RN, Northeast Brazil). The primary aim presupposes an understanding of transatlantic configurations of mobility and intimacy that emerge in passionate Euro-Brazilian relationships, while adopting a critical stance towards the notions of ‘sex tourism’ and ‘marriage migrations’, conceptual constructions which are common in the social sciences, yet profoundly reductive and with little empirical support. This analysis draws on elements provided by a multi-sited ethnographic fieldwork, encompassing various physical and digital research sites. The gathered data allowed the comprehension of the pluricausality, interconnectedness, and plasticity of Euro-Brazilian mobilities, alongside their intrinsic association with polymorphic transnational configurations of intimacy, in the framework of which relations with different places are (re)defined and flexible links of conjugality, family, residence and citizenship are generated.

亲密关系的构建常常意味着变化和流动性。在此前提下，本文深入研究了由欧洲男性和巴西女性领导的与跨国亲密关系相关的错位链，他们发现自己在Ponta Negra（巴西东北部Natal-RN）的旅游会议场地。本研究的主要目标是理解欧洲-巴西之间充满激情的关系中出现的跨大西洋流动和亲密关系的配置，同时对“性旅游”和“婚姻移民”的概念采取批判立场，这些概念结构在社会科学中很常见，但却深刻地简化了，几乎没有经验支持。这一分析借鉴了多地点人种学田野调查提供的元素，包括各种物理和数字研究地点。收集的数据使我们能够理解欧洲-巴西流动的多元性、互联性和可塑性，以及它们与多态跨国亲密关系的内在联系，在这个框架中，与不同地方的关系被（重新）定义，并产生了配偶、家庭、居住和公民身份的灵活联系。

The gathered data allowed the comprehension of the pluricausality, interconnectedness, and plasticity of Euro-Brazilian mobilities, alongside their intrinsic association with polymorphic transnational configurations of intimacy, in the framework of which relations with different places are (re)defined and flexible links of conjugality, family, residence and citizenship are generated.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51457,"journal":{"name":"Mobilities","volume":"20 3","pages":"Pages 483-500"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144106861","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper examines the relationship between formalization and (im)mobilities by focusing on the reconfiguration of cycle-rickshaw journeys in the ‘diplomatic zone’ of Dhaka, Bangladesh. Following two terrorist attacks in 2015 and 2016, this high-income neighborhood witnessed a strong trend toward the securitization, regularization, and sanitization of urban space. Consequently, the local transport system underwent significant changes, including a number of interventions aimed explicitly at regularizing cycle-rickshaw mobilities. These changes involved the introduction of a formal license system, a fixed fare chart, and the designation of a limited number of registered rickshaws to clearly demarcated areas. This paper critiques the insular and exclusionary logic that underpins this area-based rickshaw system and argues that formalization – in this particular instance – has led to the deepening of existing inequalities. In analyzing these inequalities, I present formalization as an inherently unfinished process that gains shape through simultaneous and often contradictory processes of fixing, enclosure, and exception. I offer that this conceptual triad provides a useful starting point for making sense of the relationship between formalization and (im)mobilities in a way that does not reify or assume intuitive and simplistic conflations between the formal/static and informal/mobile.

本文通过关注孟加拉国达卡“外交区”的人力车旅程的重新配置，研究了形式化和（非）机动性之间的关系。在经历了2015年和2016年的两次恐怖袭击之后，这个高收入社区的城市空间呈现出强烈的证券化、正规化和清洁化趋势。因此，当地的交通系统发生了重大变化，包括一些明确旨在规范自行车人力车流动的干预措施。这些变化包括引入正式的执照制度，固定的收费表，以及在明确划定的区域指定有限数量的注册黄包车。本文批评了支撑这种以地区为基础的人力车系统的孤立和排他性逻辑，并认为在这种特殊情况下，正规化导致了现有不平等的加深。在分析这些不平等时，我认为形式化是一个内在未完成的过程，它通过固定、封闭和例外的同时和经常相互矛盾的过程来形成。我认为，这个概念的三位一体为理解形式化和（非）移动性之间的关系提供了一个有用的起点，而不是具象化或假设正式/静态和非正式/移动性之间的直观和简单的合并。

In response to the negative effects of the car-dominated transport sector, especially in urban areas, and wider attempts to tackle the climate crisis, cities are reallocating car-dominated areas to promote active mobility, leisure and urban green space. These reallocations often take an experimental character and are accompanied by participation processes. Increased citizen participation results from both a paradigm shift in urban planning and a discourse shift towards mobility justice, emphasizing procedural and recognitional aspects of the transport transition. However, participatory planning processes themselves are conflict-ridden. They are criticised for favouring a loud, priviliged minority. Based on the need for diverse knowledge for mobility justice, including lived expertise, this study examines reasons for (non-) participation among structurally disadvantaged groups in transport planning, using Berlin’s Graefekiez neighbourhood as a case study. Focus groups were conducted with mobility-disabled people and women from a residential area with low socio-economic status. Our analysis revealed that non-participation was influenced by the feeling of being excluded and ignored. Simultaneously, the research format created was perceived as a welcoming space that better reflects the lived expertise of the neighbourhood and facilitates real exchange of perspectives. Based on this, recommendations are derived to improve participatory transport planning processes and the strengths of transdisciplinary projects.

为了应对汽车主导的交通部门（尤其是在城市地区）的负面影响，以及应对气候危机的更广泛尝试，城市正在重新分配汽车主导的区域，以促进积极的交通、休闲和城市绿色空间。这些重新分配通常具有实验性，并伴随着参与过程。公民参与的增加源于城市规划的范式转变和对流动性正义的话语转变，强调交通转型的程序和认可方面。然而，参与性规划过程本身充满冲突。他们被批评偏袒吵闹的、享有特权的少数人。基于对交通公平多元化知识的需求，包括生活经验，本研究以柏林的graaefekiez社区为例，探讨了结构上处于不利地位的群体（不）参与交通规划的原因。对行动不便的人和来自低社会经济地位居民区的妇女进行了焦点小组调查。我们的分析显示，不参与受到被排斥和被忽视的感觉的影响。同时，创建的研究格式被认为是一个温馨的空间，更好地反映了社区的生活专业知识，并促进了真正的观点交流。在此基础上，提出了改善参与式交通规划过程和跨学科项目优势的建议。
