Family and intimate mobilities
Holdsworth, Clare.

Family and intimate mobilities[electronic resource] /Clare Holdsworth. - Houndmills, Basingstoke, Hampshire :Palgrave Macmillan,2013. - 1 online resource. - Palgrave Macmillan studies in family and intimate life.

Introduction -- Theorising mobilities and family practices -- Intimate mobilities: moving out, moving in and moving on -- Families on the move I: moving house and commuting -- Families on the move II: children's, nomadic and non-linear mobilities -- Intimate spaces -- Conclusion.

It is a commonly-voiced opinion that opportunities for mobility undermine family in modern industrialized societies. "Family and Intimate Mobilities" challenges this assumption. Drawing on theoretical developments in mobilities, family practices and personal life and empirical studies of both individuals and families on the move, the book develops a more integrated approach to family mobility. This account considers how individual mobility over the life course is bound up with the formation and dissolving of intimate mobilities as well as how collective forms of mobility, from moving house, going on holiday and the school run, also sustain family life. The book considers how mobility is not just about bringing people together but how it also allows for time apart. Yet not all mobility is realized or chosen, and intimate mobilities can either be forced or entered into out of sense of obligation. In rejecting the assumption that mobility necessarily undermines family life, the book also resists any attempt to provide a grand narrative of social change of family mobility, but foregrounds the diversity of family practices and mobility.
