▼ This thesis integrates the geographical concerns of mobility, place and practices with the study of long-term, multi-destination tourists called backpackers. As backpackers are highly mobile but also reside in place for prolonged periods, they can help us to understand what happens to practices amongst people who have a fluctuating and dynamic relationship with place. Practice-based approaches applied in the study of sustainability have generally eschewed an engagement with mobile people, while scholars engaging with practice theory in sustainability-related research have often overlooked the actions of people on holiday. Recognising both the contribution that mobility studies makes to conceptualisations of place, and backpacking as a unique form of mobility, this thesis explores the differences that travel and mobility make to practices of sustainability. Using a pragmatist theoretical perspective and a mixed methods approach, this thesis integrates the research areas of sustainability, everyday practices, mobilities and place with the study of backpackers. The aim is to understand the differences place and mobility make to practices of sustainability. This thesis provides a broad account of the relationship between the everyday practices of mobile people and sustainability. To convey the dynamism of place and mobility and their influence on everyday backpacker practices related to sustainability, the thesis also develops the notions of destination and pace. Destination is a term that describes where mobile people are performing practices. It amplifies the interrelationships between practice, place and mobility. Three types of destination emerged in the backpacking context and each had a distinctive relationship with backpacker practices in the context of sustainability. The notion of pace combines speed and rhythm and it describes how mobility and backpacker practices are implicated in sustainability. Engaging with pace further explicated the interrelationships between practice, place and mobility. The relationship between sustainability, practices and place was shown to be tightly bound via a slow pace but loosened via a fast pace. Practices that I considered sustainable were then enabled or obstructed depending on the fluctuating pace of backpacker travel, with a slow pace associated with more sustainable practices than a fast pace. By attending to destination and to pace I demonstrate how place, mobility and practices are entwined with sustainability. As there is a lack of attention to place and mobility in the literature on social practices, this thesis contributes to this field of research by demonstrating the dynamic relations between practices, place and mobility. In so doing, it furthers debates in the social sciences regarding the use of practice-based approaches to issues of tourism and sustainability.

▼ This dissertation asks: how does intimate labour interact with the mobility and political subjectivities of Haitian migrant women and women of Haitian descent in the Dominican Republic (DR)? It answers this question in three specific ways. First, it explains the relationship between intimate labour and the spatial trajectories of women of Haitian ancestry who work as domestic workers. Second, it examines how the interaction between intimate labour and human mobility plays out in the Dominican border regime. Third, it explains how these subaltern women act politically in the midst of the intersections between borders, mobilities, and intimacy. The dissertation proposes the use of ‘intimate-mobility entanglement’ as a concept that explains the deep inter-relation between intimacy and human mobility. Intimate labour requires a certain immobility, while it also affects the pace and motivations of mobility. In tandem, mobilities may set the conditions under which social reproduction occurs and intimate labour is provided. The dissertation argues that the intimate-mobility entanglement has relevant geopolitical implications that affect the ways borders function, demonstrating, among others, some of the ways sexual violence is used as a form of control that is enacted by diverse state (i.e. border officers) and non-state (i.e. smugglers) actors and affect black women of Haitian ancestry. The dissertation identifies two ways of acting politically in the midst of the intimate-mobility entanglement. It argues that embodied struggles for survival and bodily integrity are a primary form of political claim-making that coexists with discursive claim-making practices such as labour union activism, and local-international grassroots organizing by and for subjects that experience precarity of status. These contributions are the result of fourteen weeks of fieldwork, and qualitative analysis based on ethnographic methods that include participant observation, interviews, and focus groups with 165 domestic workers, migrants and activists in the DR, in communities located in 4 different geographic regions of the DR including the Haiti-DR border strip. One of the main contributions of the dissertation is to bridge scholarship on transnational social reproduction (which is mostly grounded on global political economy, feminist geography, and international political sociology) with scholarship on migrant studies, geopolitics, and the mobilities paradigm. In particular it contributes to Hyndman’s embodied mobilities, and Sheller’s reproductive mobilities, by emphasizing the centrality of the sustenance of life to why we move, how we do it, as well as how mobility is controlled. Thinking about the intimate-mobility entanglement brings livelihoods to the forefront of international relations and identifies existing ways of acting politically in a global context where new forms of differential inclusion and gradations of belonging continue to emerge. This research may be further developed by looking at the relationship between sexual and…

▼ This thesis is entitled: "Toward a Science of absences. Conceptual review and discussion about the absences, otherness and contemporary social mobility". Overall, the paper presents a conceptual systematization qualitative interested in a research line on which you are working since 2005 to date. It is made from an interest in the social construction of otherness, contemporary social mobilities and absences. It has been done in the form of collection of articles published in arbitration. Conceptually choosing this format it is based on three aspects that are critical in nature and involve definitions relating to the establishment and continuity of its thematic research, institutional learning itineraries and referred to the publication in scientific journals. The location, design and articulation of objectives are made taking into account a set of fundamental dimensions. First, they are academically located within the Doctoral Program in Social Psychology, tune into the program referred to in interest in the conditions in which knowledge is produced, in their modes of circulation, in ways that are legitimate in the discursive practices that construct. Second, in its conception it prevails an interest in theoretical developments. It has chosen to pursue a conceptual and analytical systematization. This choice of methodological nature is based on the need to bring proven expertise with regard to the conceptualization of the categories, perspectives and disciplinary approaches drawn from that research practices are made and speeches generated socially accepted. This dimension is expected to achieve the goals that are flattering thesis raises a critical and dialogic context. Context in which the concepts, budgets and research techniques commonly used to acquire a comprehensive sense and therefore our societies transformer. We assume that Social Psychology Review should consider as a constant challenge social transformation and that their task is not reduced to mere recognition management problems or situations with a purely descriptive or explanatory imprint. Third, the field - theme of our general objective is structured according to three lines of conceptual work. Each has its specificity but are undoubtedly connected and interrelated. The following are synthetically. Your order will not respond to any hierarchy, the three are constitutive of a semantic grammar territoriality and places them horizontally in a continuum of multiple addresses. In this sense, the overall objective is geared towards: a) The ways to create a kind of research practice including an updating of the senses that takes the notion of epistemological vigilance. b) Recognize the ways and budgets from which contemporary social otherness defined. Specifically those meanings which saved otherness in relation to population mobility, migration processes, gender perspectives and feminist social movements are analyzed. c) The senses that absences have in social practices, memory and their place in contemporary social theory.

Cette thèse prend pour objet les parcours biographiques d'émigrés comoriens et togolais, en s'intéressant à la double dimension de ces mobilités internationales, entendues à la fois comme des processus de mobilité spatiale et comme des trajectoires de mobilité sociale. Pour étudier ces mobilités, l'enquête a été menée en France et dans les deux pays d'origine. Près de 200 récits de vie, complétés par des observations au sein des familles, ont pu être réalisés auprès de non-émigrés, d'émigrés, d'émigrés de retour et de leurs proches. La recherche questionne le franchissement des frontières internationales comme moyen de s'affranchir des frontières sociales nationales, c'est-à-dire les manières dont les émigrés s'approprient la mobilité internationale et peuvent converti leurs expériences migratoires en ressources leur permettant de s'engager dans un processus de mobilité sociale ascendante. Cette enquête souligne que les histoires migratoires nationales, les conditions politiques restrictives de la mobilité internationale et les dispositions familiales à la migration se combinent pour construire des parcours inégaux. La comparaison multidimensionnelle entre des émigrés originaires de deux pays, aux propriétés sociales diverses, met d'abord en lumière l'influence centrale des histoires familiales et du milieu social d'origine des émigrés dans l'explication des parcours individuels. L'enquête démontre par ailleurs que les mobilités internationales conduisent les émigrés à traverser plusieurs espaces sociaux et nationaux et à s'engager dans des trajectoires qui mêlent à la fois des expériences d'immobilité et de mobilité sociale. Au-delà de ces expériences individuelles contrastées, la thèse indique enfin que la migration participe tout autant à reproduire les inégalités qu'à brouiller les frontières sociales du pays d'origine.

This thesis explores the life course of Comorian and Togolese migrants by focusing on. the dual dimension of international mobility, understood both as a spatial mobility process and as a social mobility trajectory. In order to investigate this mobility, the study was both conducted in France and in the two countries of origin. Nearly 200 life stories of non-migrants. migrants, returning migrants and their close relations were collected and completed by observations within the families. The research questions the crossing of international borders as a mean to overcome national social boundaries, that is to say, the ways migrants appropriate international mobility and convert their experiences into resources allowing them to begin a process of upward social mobility. This study stresses that the national migration history, the restrictive political conditions of international mobility and the families' dispositions for migration ail combine to create unequal individual courses. The multidimensional comparison of migrants from both countries that show diverse social characteristics highlights the central influence of family history and migrants' social background in the explanation of their…

▼ Non-economic factors like culture and politics, as well as the socio-economic background, matter significantly in directing economic development endeavours towards social wellbeing. Therefore, the current narrow definition of economic development must be extended to include overall wellbeing. As one of the primary forms of physical capital constituting a regional economy, transport investments have played a significant role in development plans. Given that accessibility to social infrastructure is a basic need, certain levels of infrastructure are essential. How these investments have an impact on different groups of individuals has kept many scholars busy for a long time. However, the economic spillover effects of these investments into female labour markets have remained largely unexplored. Situating the implications of development initiatives, including transport investments, for female labour markets in social and cultural contexts requires an integrated view of the regional economy. Although economic geography and existing development theories provide extensive conceptual models to elucidate the links between transport, labour markets and culture, the methodological implications are obscure; hence, the empirical evidence remains weak. This thesis explores the economic and non-economic dynamics of regional economies to clarify the links between transport infrastructure, labour markets, and social and cultural conditions. In particular, the association between female labour forces and development efforts, in the form of transport infrastructure development, is conceptually and empirically examined. This thesis conducts a case study on Turkey. With the extensive infrastructure investment that has been made since 2002 and the extremely low rates of female labour force participation (around 25%), compared to EU-15 and OECD averages of around 65%, Turkey serves as an illuminating case. Theoretically, the study shows that the focus of transport economics on the economic growth effect of investments is not consistent with current efforts to extend economic development objectives: transport research requires a broader view to assess its development implications. The study demonstrates how the interactions between the economic, physical, political, cultural and socio-economic attributes of regions significantly affect how individuals benefit from the investments. The overarching policy implications of the study are useful for regional development policy with a gender focus: complementary policy interventions in human capital development and the consideration of social and cultural attitudes should strengthen the positive impacts of physical investments on female labour markets.

L’obiettivo della tesi è stato quello di analizzare il fenomeno del cosiddetto Fuorisalone attraverso un duplice sguardo disciplinare: da una parte quello del mobilities paradigm (Sheller-Urry, 2006), dall’altra attraverso la prospettiva della produzione sociale dello spazio di Lefebvre (1974) e sue recenti applicazioni nell’ambito della media geography (Jansson, 2007) e degli eventi urbani (Lehtovouri, 2010).  Nella prima parte viene proposta una ricostruzione della storia sociale dell’evento: vengono individuati i soggetti centrali alla sua nascita, le dinamiche di interdipendenza tra di essi e le forme del loro radicamento nel contesto territoriale e socio-culturale della città di Milano e della sua cultura del progetto. La seconda parte offre invece una prospettiva sincronica: da una parte l’analisi della produzione degli spazi sociali del design, ed in particolare dei singoli design district, che durante questo evento arrivano a qualificare lo spazio urbano come “eterotopia diffusa” (Foucault, 1967). Dall’altra parte l’analisi delle sue forme di consumo, presentando i risultati di un'indagine sul campo condotta attraverso la triangolazione di diversi metodi di carattere etnografico in tre design district durante le edizioni 2011 e 2012. Attraverso l'indagine delle pratiche mediate e di mobilità, delle percezioni ed esperienze da parte dei suoi visitatori, il lavoro ha permesso di leggere la specificità di questo evento nella circolarità tra le dimensioni produttive e le forme di consumo mobile e mediato dello spazio urbano.

The aim of the thesis has been to analyze the so-called phenomenon of Fuorisalone through a double disciplinary perspective: on the one hand that of the mobilities paradigm (Sheller-Urry, 2006), on the other hand through the Lefebvrean perspective on the production of social space (1974) and its most recent applications in the field of media geography (Jansson, 2007) and urban events (Lehtovouri, 2010). The first part is dedicated to the reconstruction of the social history of this event by identifying the pivotal subjects for its birth, the dynamics of interdependency between them and the forms of their rootedness in the territorial and socio-cultural context of the city of Milan and its design culture. The second part adopts a synchronous perspective: on the one hand the analysis of the production of the social spaces of design, with particular attention to the single design districts involved, that during this event characterize the urban space as a “diffused heterotopia” (Foucault, 1967). On the other hand on the consumption forms of this event, by presenting the results of the field work conducted in three design districts during the 2011 and 2012 editions. Through the triangulation of different ethnographical methods, the research has focused on the mobility and mediated practices, on the perceptions and experiences of visitors, reading the specificity of this event through the circularity between the productive dimensions and its mobile and mediated forms of consumption.

Depuis les premières formes d’urbanisme, les villes sont façonnées par des constructions idéologiques qui impactent sur le quotidien des individus et sur les ségrégations socio-spatiales. Notre questionnement général porte sur ce contexte, et plus particulièrement sur la façon dont s’objectivent les différentes positions occupées dans la structure sociale par les représentations et les pratiques quotidiennes de l’espace urbain. L’étude de cinq différentes représentations socio-spatiales au sein des agents de l’Université de Strasbourg aura permis de mettre en évidence l’existence d’un principe d’homologie structurale entre les dimensions cognitives, spatiales et sociales de la relation individu-milieu. Certains groupes entretiennent une relation fonctionnelle à la ville traduisant la complexité des lieux fréquentés. À l’inverse, d’autres groupes entretiennent une relation évaluative qui se détache des fréquentations pour se concentrer sur des lieux plus ou moins « emblématiques ». Or, ces deux rapports distinguent les identités sociales de ces groupes. Lorsque les premiers sont dominés et peuvent se valoriser par leurs pratiques, les seconds sont dominants et le peuvent par une comparaison à d’autres villes qui se rapproche de l’idéologie de la ville-mondiale. Les enjeux identitaires des représentations et pratiques spatiales socialement intériorisées participeraient ainsi aux ségrégations.

Ever since the earliest forms of urbanism, cities have been shaped by ideological constructs that impact the everyday life of individuals and socio-spatial segregations. This PhD thesis focuses specifically on how positions in the social structure are objectified in the representations and everyday practice of urban space. Based on study of five different socio-spatial representations among University of Strasbourg staffers, it evidences a principle of structural homology between the cognitive, spatial and social dimensions of the individual-environment relationship. Some groups have a functional relationship to the city that reflects the complexity of the places they frequent. Conversely, others have an evaluative relationship that focuses on ‘emblematic’ places. These two relationships are markers of these groups’ social identities. Whereas the former are dominated and may seek to enhance their status through their practices, the latter are dominant and do so by making reference to the global city and comparing their city to others. The identity stakes of socially internalized spatial practices and representations ultimately contribute to segregation.

La présente thèse traite de l'appropriation de l'espace public par les femmes algériennes vu à travers le prisme des mobilités quotidiennes du nord-ouest algérien ; avec en filigrane, les stratégies de contournement des rigidités du quotidien et qui aboutissent à la création d’un espace social au féminin. Jusqu'à la fin des années noires, la place des Algériennes dans l'espace public n'était pas une évidence ; elle l'est devenue à présent, même si elle est encore contestée par certains. Il apparaît très clairement que les transports de voyageurs ont été l'un des vecteurs de l'émancipation féminine, nous entendons ici : le droit à l'égalité sociale. Son dynamisme, allié à une offre plus adaptée aux besoins, a facilité l'accès aux ressources émancipatrices : éducation, travail, vie associative, démarches de toute nature. Bien que son impact reste en général méconnu, tant sur le plan statistique que sociologique, il représente pour des millions de femmes le moyen de s'affranchir spatialement du carcan patriarcal. Certes, il n'en est que l'un des facteurs, mais sans son dynamisme, il y aurait eu un goulot d'étranglement social, dans une région où les déplacements pédestres sont limités par la faiblesse des aménagements piétons ainsi que par les contraintes climatiques. Quant aux trajets féminins en deux roues, ils sont quasiment inexistants pour des raisons culturelles. Bien que les Algériennes soient de plus en plus nombreuses à passer leur permis de conduire, elles sont encore très peu à se déplacer régulièrement seule au volant d’une voiture. C’est pourquoi nous avons considéré le transport de voyageurs comme « un fil conducteur » qui nous a permis d'observer les différentes facettes de la place des femmes dans l'espace public algérien. A partir des wilayas du nord-ouest algérien, nous examinerons la condition des femmes dans l’espace public. Quelle est la véritable conséquence des mobilités féminines sur l'évolution de la place des femmes dans la société algérienne ? Cette assise communautaire nouvelle, si improbable quelques années auparavant, peut-elle constituer une étape vers une métamorphose sociale plus profonde ?

The present thesis is about the appropriation of public space by Algerian women, as seen through the prism of their daily mobility in the north western region of Algeria ; with, just beneath the surface, the strategies of skirting round day to day living restraints which lead to the creation of a social space for women.Until the end of the « dark years », Algerian women’s place in public was not obvious; it is now, even if questioned by many. It appears very clearly that public transport was one of the vectors for women’s emancipation, meaning in this context: the right to social equality. Its dynamism, combined with an offer more adapted to people’s needs, made access to emancipating resources easier: education, work, community life, initiatives of all kinds. Although its impact remains generally unknown, from a statistical or sociological point of view, it represents for millions of women a way…

▼ Motorcycle taxi workers are a relatively new phenomenon in the Democratic Republic of Congo’s (DRC) informal public transportation sector. However, their ability to conduct work is challenged by a legacy of violence and hazards stemming from the role of motorcyclists in insurgent activities, robberies, as well as road traffic injuries and fatalities. Consequently, the country’s growing motorcycle taxi workforce operates in a largely unfavorable socio-political environment as mass mediated messages, public perceptions and governmental policies challenge their identity, legitimacy and ultimately their right to generate income through organized labor.An eleven-week ethnographic inquiry among the Comité de Motard Kisima (CMK) motorcycle taxi club of Lubumbashi, DRC produced data to inform this study. Structuration Theory, Grounded Theory, and Social Identity Theory were consulted as analytical frames to examine the methods employed by the CMK as they negotiate structures to legitimize their work-life. Grounded Theory analysis revealed that the CMK reproduces structures of leadership, cooperation and identity management to construct and relay their legitimacy in the DRC’s public transportation environment. Each structure is constituted by modalities and structural properties that impart meaning to the CMK’s perceptions and conceptualizations of legitimacy. The leadership structure constitutes legitimacy for the CMK as a means for account giving for citizenship; transformation and growth; active inclusivity, and proven integrity. The cooperation structure embodies legitimacy for the CMK as it facilitates criminal disembodiment and diplomacy. The identity management structure forges legitimacy for the CMK by way of story-making and the possibility of a Manseba movement. This study bears significance for entities tasked with maintaining relations with the DRC’s motorcycle taxi workers. It is also relevant to studies concerned with locating meaning in groups’ organizational structuring processes. Overall, it contributes to the growing body of work that examines the socio-political and economic intersections between daily spatial mobilities, public transportation and embodiment.
