Abstrakt

This special issue of Mobility Humanities explores the experiences and
interactions of stopovers in transport infrastructure. It has two thematic foci: First, we analyse experiences of dwelling and states of being-in-theworld
during moments of immobility embedded in the mobile life of modernity. Second, we explore social interactions in immobile situations during travel and journeys. The common argument linking the articles is that experiences of pausing, waiting and stopping during travel are not simply interruptions, but rather important aspects of mobile life that foster social interaction and community building. All articles draw on ethnographic studies and analyses of cultural production
(literature and video) to explore how people experience these moments of (im)
mobility and how they shape our understanding of mobility, place and environment.
