Abstract

Research and theory on ‘lifestyle’ is currently experiencing resurgence across the social sciences, and the central focus of this book is on the how the mobilities of paradigm and lifestyle converge. This lively, informed, and engaging book focuses on mobility as an ongoing lifestyle choice and presents the concept ‘lifestyle mobilities’ as a theoretical lens to challenge current thinking on the intersections of travel, leisure, and migration. Tara Duncan, Scott A. Cohen, and Maria Thulemark highlight the centrality of physical mobility to myriad contemporary lifestyle choices, premising that being on the move is a now a way of life for many people. Bringing together multiple perspectives and a variety of empirical studies from geography, sociology, hospitality and tourism management, history, leisure, built environment, cultural studies, and anthropology, the book explores how voluntary ongoing lifestyle mobilities blur the boundaries between tourism, leisure, and migration and also destabilise the traditional binary between work and leisure. In so doing, the complexities of belonging, place, and identity associated with sustained mobility are unravelled. Patterns of lifestyle mobilities positioned at the borders of travel, leisure, and migration are foregrounded to illustrate how such mobility choices evoke and symbolise processes of de‐differentiation in a
