Abstract This article analyses how human subjects are imagined and conceived in research on transport in the analytical and quantitative traditions in geography and beyond, and outlines several alternative practices of subject formation. It draws on the writings of Sylvia Wynter to argue that, despite long-standing engagement with thinking from the behavioural sciences to diversify economics and engineering oriented understandings of the human subject, analytical/quantitative research on transport remains caught within western-liberal and ‘monohumanist’ conceptualisations of humanness. These understandings can be dislodged if research concentrates on the transport-related practices and experiences of people who are both inside and outside valorised subject categories and harnesses stories of how people constitute themselves, others and their worlds in and through daily movements. Existing mobilities scholarship, research on brain activity in human-environment interactions, geo-narrative methods, and avoiding binary oppositions such as formal/informal transport can all contribute to alternative practices of subject formation in analytical and quantitative transport geography research.

在交通研究中走向非殖民化人类受试者

摘要 本文分析了在地理学及其他领域的分析和定量传统中，人类主体如何在交通研究中被想象和构思，并概述了主体形成的几种替代实践。它借鉴了西尔维娅·温特 (Sylvia Wynter) 的著作，认为尽管长期以来行为科学的思想使经济学和以工程为导向的对人类学科的理解多样化，但对交通的分析/定量研究仍然陷入西方自由主义和“单一人道主义”的范畴。 '人性的概念化。如果研究集中在既定的学科类别内外的人们与交通相关的实践和经验，并利用人们如何构成自己的故事，这些理解就会被推翻，其他人和他们的世界在日常活动中并通过日常活动。现有的流动性奖学金、人与环境相互作用中大脑活动的研究、地理叙事方法以及避免正式/非正式运输等二元对立都可以促进分析和定量运输地理学研究中主题形成的替代实践。
