Описание:
By thinking in terms of the geographies of mobilities, we are better able to understand the central importance of movements, rhythms and shifting emplacements over the life-course. This innovative book represents research from a new and flourishing multidisciplinary field that includes, among other things, studies on smart cities, infrastructures and networks; mobile technologies for automated highways or locative media; mobility justice and rights to stay or enter or reside. These activities, cadences and changing attachments to place have profound effects--first upon how we conduct or govern ourselves and each other via many social institutions, and second upon how we constitute the spaces in and through which our lives are experienced. This scholarship also has clear connections to numerous aspects of social and spatial policy and planning.

Описание: This original social-science text approaches marathon running as an everyday practice and a designed event, to draw upon, and contribute to the literature on practice theory, urban events, rhythmanalysis and mobility. It bridges sport studies and discussions within sociology and geography about practice, movement and the city.
A World Gone Mad for Marathons is a book about the incredible growth of organized marathons around the world as well as the growth of many other sporting events (i.e. ultras, trail races, triathlons, IRONMANs, duathlons, cycling races, 10Ks, and 5Ks). This growth is occurring irrespective of gender, age, body shape or size, ethnicity, culture, or country. For numerous reasons, millions of people around the world are signing up for sporting events and saying 'Go.'
In the past 10 years, the number of marathons worldwide has tripled (from around 2,000 in 2009 to an anticipated 6,000 by the end of 2019). The world's most famous marathons (e.g. New York, London, Berlin, Tokyo, Chicago, etc...) have resorted to lotteries to allow runners in. One of the newest countries on the high speed marathon train is China. In just the past few years, cities with absolutely no history or experience in hosting marathons are doing so and tens of thousands of runners sign up within the first few hours. The IRONMAN in Vietnam recently held its fifth race and it sold out rapidly. A 5K Color Me Run in Ho Chi Minh City (the former Saigon) had over 13,000 runners in May 2018.
The 'why is this happening' question is one of the themes of this book. Some additional questions are 'who are these athletes' and 'how do race directors pull it off?' Through its 10 chapters, the book looks at the primary drivers of this trend such as community, overcoming adversity, responding to stress and depression, and other causes. Each chapter profiles an athlete who shares his or her story on why they are so driven to just keep running and competing. The author also shares his own humorous efforts to complete a marathon. In fact, it was one of his own.
The author, Sam Korsmoe, is a Montana race director who, over the past 12 years, has built an eight-race series in the Yellowstone region of Montana. The keystone race of the series is the Madison Marathon which is a road marathon with an average elevation of over 9,000 feet. Korsmoe is exporting part of the Yellowstone series abroad. In a witty and personal voice, he sheds light on 'the why' of this trend and offers readers a race director's insight and point of view of the athletes who do these events. This is not a 'how to run' a marathon book, but more of a 'why I should also do one' that is sure to inspire couch potatoes and aging athletes that they too can be part of this global phenomenon.

Описание:
'Hurry' is an intrinsic component of modernity. It exists not only in tandem with modern constructions of mobility, speed, rhythm, and time-space compression, but also with infrastructures, technologies, practices, and emotions associated with the experience of the 'mobilizing modern'. 'Hurry' is not simply speed. It may result in congestion, slowing-down, or inaction in the face of over-stimulus. Speeding-up is often competitive: faster traffic on better roads made it harder for pedestrians to cross, or for horse-drawn vehicles and cyclists to share the carriageway with motorized vehicles. Focusing on the cultural and material manifestations of 'hurry', the book's contributors analyse the complexities, tensions, and contradictions inherent in the impulse to higher rates of circulation in modernizing cities.
The collection includes, but also goes beyond, accounts of new forms of mobility (bicycles, buses, underground trains) and infrastructure (street layouts and surfaces, business exchanges, and hotels) to show how modernity's 'architectures of hurry' have been experienced, represented, and practised since the mid nineteenth century. Ten case studies explore different expressions of 'hurry' across cities and urban regions in Asia, Europe, and North and South America, and substantial introductory and concluding chapters situate 'hurry' in the wider context of modernity and mobility studies and reflect on the future of 'hurry' in an ever-accelerating world. This diverse collection will be relevant to researchers, scholars, and practitioners in the fields of planning, cultural and historical geography, urban history, and urban sociology.
