Urban Mobilities in Literature and Art Activism explores the entwinement of mobility and immobility in urban spaces by focusing on their representation in literary narratives but also in visual and performing arts. Across a range of geographical contexts, this volume builds on the new mobilities paradigm developed by literary scholars, sociologists and human geographers. The different chapters employ a cohesive framework that is sensitive to the intersecting dimensions of power and discrimination that shape urban kinetic features. The contributions are divided into three sections, each of which places the focus on a different aspect of urban mobility: Itinerant Subjects, Modes of Transport and Places of Transit, and Urban Liminalities. Chapter 7, "Alienation, Abjection and the Mobile Postcolonial City: Public Transport in Ousmane Semb???ne's "Niiwam" and Yvonne Vera's Without a Name" is available open access under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License via link.springer.com.
