Vol. 3 (2018): Perspektiven der Mobilität

Mobility is a fundamental topic for mankind. It starts with the daily mobility of workers, continues with the recurrent mobility of humans and animals (vacation and travel, bird flight, salmon migration) and ends with the enduring mobility (migration of peoples, plant and animal refugees). Different means of transport (e.g. bicycle, automobile, airplane, elevator, Segway) are in the focus as well as the question, which adaptation possibilities permanent or temporary immobility offers or how increasing immobility in old age can be counteracted e.g. by exoskeletons. The volume "Perspectives on Mobility", edited by Joachim Funke and Michael Wink, illuminates this topic from the colorful perspective of a comprehensive university. Twelve authors from the humanities, cultural studies and natural sciences discuss the topic of mobility from their respective perspectives in eight contributions.
