ABSTRACT
This chapter refers to some of the dimensions associated with the new spatiality of social integration. Boltanski and Chiapello remind us that today, the ability to move is essential not only to peoples' careers, but also to their social integration in general. Mobility has become a central aspect of social integration, notably by contributing to transformation of the modalities of relational embeddedness and the space in which these are implemented. Bridging social capital provides the individual with more autonomy, but it puts the person in a position of relative weakness according to solidarity practices, which can only be expressed in an individual way because the network members are not linked to each other. The development of commuting in the 1970s, which relaxed the spatial dependence between the workplace and the residence, pertains to this transformation of social anchorings through spatial mobility.
