摘要

Mobility, as a social science category, is usually understood as the mobility of social advancement or decline of individuals or groups in an unequal, hierarchical society. Recently, there have been increased efforts to examine the relationship between social and spatial mobility in the context of a discourse of justice. In the background, some promising efforts to conceptualize mobility in Pierre Bourdieu’s categories and thus to analyze the connection between social and spatial mobility from a post-structural materialist perspective have faded. These efforts have not been crowned with resounding success: spatial mobility has neither become a prominent topic in sociology, nor has the “Bourdieu School” received a significant innovative boost from its study of mobility. This may be due to the categorical inadequacy of previous approaches. The following article aims to counter this by theoretically defining three categories that can be used to place spatial mobility within Bourdieu’s praxeology and enable sociology to play a greater role in the study of spatial mobility. The introduction of the three categories of mobicity (or mobile capacity), mobitus and mobitat is intended to develop a sociological theory of mobility.
