Thinking through Mobilities

Allied Studies, Sem V

The course was intended at decoding what 'mobility' actually means. Mobility of goods, of humans, of animals, of ideas, of economy.... & so on.

We in the course learnt and understood various factors leading to one's mobility. How was it's idea perceived centuries ago and how it is been seen today. What factors affect one's movement.

We then moved further to trace the mobility of a person and see how and who all help the mobility of that person. What factors get involved, time, place, things, people and so on.

We thought of studying the mobility of Yash, our canteen boy. How his daily routine is a part of small small activities in which various other people are involved and how he is a part of everybody's activities and vice-versa.
