During conference the Mobile Lives Forum will launch two new books by John Urry and Vincent Kaufmann. Join us Nov 5 at 5-7pm at Aalborg University Campus. POST PETROLEUM by John Urry Oil is a crucial component in the life of contemporary societies. Yet oil reserves will be depleted in a few decades. What impact will this event have on the way we will live and commute in the future? Despite the growing awareness of the drying-up of oil stocks that question remains unanswered. This book looks at the severe consequences of the rarefication of energy supplies in the coming decades - a result of the twentieth century’s oil-dependency. John Urry imagines the future of oil-deprived societies and considers different scenarios and their impacts on our mobilities. Available in bookstores, 15€ SLICES OF MOBILE LIFE by E. Ravalet, S. Vincent, V. Kaufmann and J. Leveugle Do you think highly mobile people are only white collars with trolley cases in airport lounges? Do you consider greater mobility to be a dilemma for the rich and educated, a few CEOs, football players and stars? What if you were wrong? «Slices of Mobile Life» is a skilful blend of graphic novel, sociological survey and manifesto. It reveals a challenge far from trivial in Europe: greater mobility related to work.
