Post-Automobility Futures: Technology, Power, and Imaginaries

By Robert Braun and Richard Randell

Book Overview

This book presents an in-depth phenomenological and deconstructive analysis of the automobility imaginary, which is none other than the mundane automobility reality within which we dwell in everyday life. A successful transition to a post-automobility future will require new ways of thinking about and conceptualizing automobility, one of the most significant and powerful imaginaries of contemporary neo-liberalism. This book offers such a view by reconceptualizing automobility in its entirety as both an imaginary and a dreamscape.

In order to address the challenges, externalities and tragedies that automobility has brought upon us, automobility, we argue, must end as we know it.
