Mobility, Memory and the Lifecourse in Twentieth-Century Literature and Culture

Viac o knihe

The book examines how various forms of mobility shape and sustain intimate relationships throughout different life stages, including courtship, long-term partnerships, and bereavement. By analyzing diaries, journals, and literary works from the mid- to late-twentieth century, it highlights the significance of transportation—ranging from walking to driving—in fostering connections. Grounded in the theories of Henri Bergson, Tim Ingold, and David Seamon, it engages with contemporary discussions in cultural geography, mobilities studies, and critical love studies.
