Migration the Sociology of Mobility and Critical Theory

Abstract

Being one of my PhD supervisors John’s influence on my intellectual life has been decisive in many respects. However his work has inspired me especially in relation to three fields: immigration the sociology of critique and the critique of mobility. The following is a reflective account of this. First I focus on immigration in the prism of mobility. Then I turn to the sociology of critique in the framework of mobility. Finally I revisit the link between critique and immobility relating this to the sociology of the camp. © 2019 selection and editorial matter Ole B. Jensen Sven Kesselring and Mimi Sheller.
