ABSTRACT
This introduction presents the new concept of alternative (im)mobilities as a viable theoretical perspective in the analysis of socio, economic, and political dynamics of the contemporary world, especially those related to peripheries and/or marginalized groups of individuals. It presents the ten chapters of the book written by twenty researchers from six different countries – Argentina, Brazil, Chile, France, Kenya, and the United Kingdom. Each one of the articles discusses diverse examples of alternative practices of people, objects, and information displacement in areas related to (im)mobilities and the COVID-19 pandemic, transport, and social practices and media and urban tourism.
