Exploring the power of places (Rereading "Mobilities")
Understanding communication is to think about when, where, and with whom we get together and what and how we talk to each other. And to organize time and space for our communication, we need to understand the notion of "movement" (mobility) from various aspects. What insights would John Urry (1946-2016), who advocated a "sociology of mobility," have added had he experienced daily life under the influence of COVID-19? In this kenkyukai, we will re-read "Mobilities" and reconsider the future of human communication.
