This paper considers both the metaphor and physical act of breathing in the context of mobilities of flight, amongst others. I invoke the metaphor through ethnographic vignettes of both flying and terrestrial mobilities in African and North American contexts, drawing a parallel between the breath which sustains us and the aspirations that drive us, providing a generative lesson for our affective futures. Through these vignettes, I argue that mobilities driven by the presence of elsewhere(s) are key to understanding how aspiration is mobilised.]]> Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:10 +0000 Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:09 +0000 Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:08 +0000 Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:07 +0000 Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:06 +0000 Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:05 +0000 Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:04 +0000 Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:03 +0000 Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:02 +0000 Brenda S.A.

The book intends to contribute to the humanities turn in mobility studies by examining representations of "(im)mobilities in urban spaces ... in literary narratives as well as in other arts" (1). The result is a very well-structured, cohesive, and eclectic volume that not only benefits the increasing, but still underexplored, dialogue between literary and art studies, on the one hand, and mobility studies, on the other, but may also draw further attention to the relevance of literature and other arts in understanding movement.]]> Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0000 http://journal-mobilityhumanities.com.
