Re-Assembling (Aero)mobilities: Perspectives beyond the West

Abstract

This paper advocates a need to expand mobilities research beyond the West. Employing aviation in Singapore as an example, it demonstrates how the assembling of (aero)mobilities in different contexts never yields passive replicas, but, rather, iterations that develop with reference to one another. This mutual assembling is furthermore a political process, with certain ‘global’ paradigms being more influential than others. Without transcending a Western focus, mobilities research risks obscuring the highly relational way movement is practically (re)assembled, through complex processes of diffusion, adaptation and re-production across space.
