Социология за пределами обществ: виды мобильности для XXI столетия
В настоящей работе ведущий британский социальный теоретик Джон Урри утверждает, что традиционное основание социологии — исследование общества — утрачивает свое значение в мире, где происходит постепенное стирание границ. Если социология намерена внести свой вклад в понимание «постсоциетальной» эпохи, она должна забыть о жестких социальных конструкциях, существовавших до наступления глобального порядка, и сосредоточить внимание на различных видах физического и виртуального движения и перемещения. Предлагая такую «социологию мобильностей», Урри рассматривает путешествия людей, идей, образов, объектов, посланий, мусора и денег через международные границы и анализирует влияние, оказываемое такими «мобильностями» на восприятие времени, пространства, жизни и гражданства.

Innovative!
This book by John Urry challenges traditional sociology’s focus on stable, bounded societies by emphasizing the importance of flows, networks, and mobility in the contemporary world. John Urry argues that modern social life is increasingly shaped by the movement of people, goods, information, images, and capital across borders, making nation-centered models of society inadequate. By introducing the “mobilities paradigm,” the book encourages sociologists to analyze globalization, technology, and social relations through patterns of circulation and connectivity rather than fixed structures.
Urry also highlights how mobility transforms our experience of time. In a world of rapid transportation, digital communication, and global networks, social life becomes increasingly organized around acceleration, simultaneity, and real-time coordination. Time is no longer simply sequential or locally structured; instead, it is compressed and synchronized across distant places. This shift reshapes everyday routines, work rhythms, and social expectations, making temporal flexibility and speed central features of contemporary life.
