Tourists, mobilities and paradigms

Editorial: Surveillance and Mobilities

The editorial introduces the pieces in this special issue on surveillance and mobilities. It draws out the key themes of the issue, asking: what is meant by ‘mobility’ and why it deserves such a focus; what are the goals and purposes of the surveillance of mobilities; and finally, what are the consequences. It proposes a simple typology of mobilities: ‘what moves’ (body, transactions, and artef...

Editorial: Mobilities, Immobilities and Moorings

Mobility has become an evocative keyword for the twenty-first century and a powerful discourse that creates its own effects and contexts. The concept of mobilities encompasses both the large-scale movements of people, objects, capital and information across the world, as well as the more local processes of daily transportation, movement through public space and the travel of material things wit...

The Mobilities of Electrons.

In a recent paper' it was shown that the electrons could presumably travel through N2 and H2 gases!in a free state at atmospheric pressure. It was found in some cases impossible to evaluate the mobilities of these electrons with the low frequencies of commutation available. The values of the mobilities indicated by these results appeared to be so much higher than the values obtained by earlier ...

Analysis of information behavior paradigms: past and present

Introduction: Information behavior in knowledge and information science is seen as a fundamental human behavior that has been studied extensively thus far. This study include different approaches and perspectives that examined information behavior. The purpose of this article is to investigate the paradigm shift in information behavior by using the texts of this research ground. Methodology: Th...
