Essay / Mobility Systems and Space - 1266
Serres and Clifford discuss the nature of time, the “contact zone,” and knowledge as a mobile confluence of flows. That it transmits the multiplicities of knowledge and being, the flows of time within cultures. Traditionally, science prescribed a static and fixed subject according to Serres. It reproduces a permanent system of being, even if it presents itself as a process of becoming. Serres believes that it is better to paint a kind of fluctuating picture of relationships and relationships like showing an admirable network of forks, some of which mix or silt up, while others open like a cloud of angels pass. Thus, we see that a new paradigm is being formed within the social sciences in the form of mobility. Recent contributions to the formation and stabilization of this new paradigm include work from anthropology, cultural studies, geography, migration studies, science and technology studies, tourism studies and sociology. Without social sciences, there is no increase in the fluidity of a vast mobility system. This mobility includes wired and cable systems, media satellite distribution, mobile phone ranges that enable invisible wave channels to transmit mobile phone messages, and massive infrastructure that organizes the physical movement of people and goods. Mobility also includes the movement of images and information across local, national and global media. The concept of communication infrastructures such as the Internet, mobile telephony and mass media has influenced the increasingly integrated language of computers. Hence the hybridity of the systems which bring together technology and society outside of these divergent places which are produced and reproduced. Making more and more airport terminals look like cities, and cities are becoming more and more...... middle of paper ...... that this is a moment global technology, and yet I live in a registered national space. I feel vulnerable because it seems like the spaces of disconnection and reconnection have become more dangerous. This gray space absurdly includes questions of citizenship as a framework of belonging. As a legal foreigner, I have always and already been suspicious and the identity of the definition of citizenship in times of crisis was very restricted and to this unconsciously ignorance of time and the conception of the academic abyss. This desire that Serres and Clifford both attempt to express is intended to interrupt and benefit those who might be considered messengers between spaces and that it is an important awareness of the initiate towards the 'learner. They both seem to agree that it has become a space to highlight the cracks in how we are shaped and framed or how we can fix them..
