In contemporary capitalism, job mobility seems to be an imperative for all levels of job qualification, from non-skilled workers to highly skilled professionals. However the types of mobility (commuting, business trips, multiple homes, transnational migration, Expatriate delegation), the spatial dimensions of mobility (north-south, south-north, south-south) and thus the implications that this mobilities have for the everyday life of social actors is highly differentiated by class, gender, and ethnicity. Boltanski and Chiapello, for example, suggest that mobility today constitutes a central feature for social stratification. John Urry even has suggested a new paradigm for the social sciences built upon mobility. Thus, readings of and discussions on John Urry’s books „mobilities“ and „Mobile Lives“ (together with Anthony Elliott) will be at the centre of the seminar.
Participants must have basic knowledge in the area of the sociology of work (e.g. having completed an introductory course in 'sociology of work' or having read an introductory book).

Participants are expected to read selected chapters of these books and prepare them for discussion. Furthermore, participants are to prepare inputs to the seminar on the basis of other key publications (suggested by the organizers of the seminar) on mobility as a feature of contemporary capitalism and/or empirical material from a current research project carried out by the organizers (= „Studienleistungen“).
