Elites have so far proven to be an elusive research subject for the social sciences, but the latest techniques in mobile methods offer a window on their movements. This vanguard collection sets a new benchmark in social science efforts to research the powerful and the privileged, through the careful examination of the movements of the one percent through the everyday spaces of the ninety-nine percent. From luxury haciendas to private biz-jets Elite Mobilities is a fresh approach to a classic topic, bringing together the pioneer scholars in critical sociology today.
Small in number but great in influence, mobile elites have shaped the contours of global capitalism. Today these elites continue to flourish globally but in a changing landscape. The current economic crisisand rising concerns about the moral legitimacy of extreme wealthcoincides with stern warnings over the risks posed by climate change and the unsustainable use of resources. Often an out-of-bounds topic in critical social science, elites are thought of as too inaccessible a group to interview and too variable a minority to measure.
This groundbreaking collection sets out to challenge this perception. Through the careful examination of the movements of the one per cent through the everyday spaces of the ninety-nine per cent, Elite Mobilities investigates the shared zones elites inhabit alongside the commons: the executive lounge in the airport, the penthouse in the hotel, or the gated community next to the slum. Bringing together the pioneer scholars in critical sociology today, this collection explores how social scientists can research, map, and track the flows and residues of objects, wealth and power surrounding the hypermobile.
Elite Mobilities sets a new benchmark in social science efforts to research the powerful and the privileged. It will appeal to students and scholars interested in mobilities, transport, tourism, social stratification, class, inequality, consumption, and global environmental change.
