Mobile labour: An introduction
Overall, this special issue on Mobile Labour explores how mobility and labour conflate to create and perpetuate conditions of segregation, discrimination and differentiation, with a special emphasis on processes of racialization (although not excluding others, like gender and age)
Sailors & Whalers: Forerunners of Portuguese Labor Migration to North America
This paper sheds light on the importance of whaling paths and stations in the migration of Portuguese laborers to North America. Even though there are many factors influencing these migratory trails-the attraction that a country like the U.S. had on most prospective migrants in the 1800s, the American economic and political influence which made it a convergence point globally, and its geographical position-this study demonstrates that the Portugu…

Commoning mobility: Towards a new politics of mobility transitions
Scholars have argued that transitions to more sustainable and just mobilities require moving beyond technocentrism to rethink the very meaning of mobility in cities, communities, and societies. This paper demonstrates that such rethinking is inherently political. In particular, we focus on recent theorisations of commoning practices that have gained traction in geographic literatures. Drawing on our global comparative research of low‐carbon mobil…
Speed and Smoothness
This article examines identity production and reproduction of a group of Portuguese members of the European Parliament (MEPs) through a set of ethnographic vignettes. Literature on European mobility has been underpinned by an assumption that the more we move, the more European we become. But who are these movers exactly? And how do they become European? These questions guide this article, which presents a case study of three Portuguese MEPs who m…
Alien life matters: Reflections on Cosmopolitanism, Otherness, and Astrobiology
This is a synaptic paper that invites the reader to take a stroll on the edges of cross-disciplinary knowledge. We will walk the roads of anthropology, history, philosophy, astronomy and biology. It is mainly a theoretical article, where I attempt to provide links between authors and theories that were, at first sight, unrelated. In doing so, this paper is aimed at making one controversial claim: ideologically and politically speaking, cosmopolit…
Mobile ethnography: Emergence, Techniques and Its Importance to Geography
This paper presents an overview of the emergence of mobile ethnography and its potential benets to the discipline of geography.The rise of mobile ethnography has been linked with the so-called "new mobilities paradigm", which has become especially important in geographical thinking over the past ten years.Erstwhile focused on more static concepts, such as space, place or landscape, geography is today rife with theories and analyses of movement, m…
A Country on Wheels: A Mobile Ethnography of Portuguese Lorry Drivers
This paper revolves around the intersections of mobility and identity. In Europe mobility is often regarded as a producer of cultural proximity amongst European citizens and member states, bearing the potential to fabricate some kind of European identity. Many of the top-down policies of the European Union have been based on the assumption that the more we move, the more European we become. In this paper my intention is to contribute to this deba…
Musicians on the Move: Mobilities and Identities of a Band on the Road
This article examines how a group of musicians produce and reproduce their identities whilst on the move. More specifically, it shows how touring (a very specific type of mobility) affects and impacts the musicians’ processes of identity construction. What is it like to be on the road? How do musicians value this experience? What meanings do they confer to their mobility? How does it impact on their identities as musicians? The paper is divided i…
