How are new technologies of information and mobile communication replacing, converging with, or in other ways re-shaping ‘older technologies’ and patterns of corporeal travel? How are new technologies of surveillance and information retrieval affecting the constitution of borders, belonging, and ‘out of place’ bodies? What kinds of new ‘risk society’, what new ‘disasters’, are these mobilities generating? In what ways does life ‘on screen’ replace, redirect, or re-scale life ‘on the move’? Do ‘cybercities’ and ‘intelligent’ transport systems offer a new connectivity that can solve the impasse of transportation failure and social exclusion? How are the new possibilities for mobile communication changing the boundaries between the private and the public, with what impact on forms of citizenship, participation and democracy? How do the contemporary materialities of the ‘mobile life’ either reproduce or challenge existing forms of difference and inequality?
