This article introduces readers to the concept of mobility and some recent ways in which it has been approached in geography. In doing so, it aims to encourage a meaningful engagement with the ideas and issues of mobility as well as an appreciation of the breadth of mobilities research. Although movement has long been a concern of geographers, in studies of transport, tourism and migration for example, the conceptual emphasis on mobility is a more recent and important development within the discipline. As such, this article demonstrates the centrality of movement and mobility to, not only, geography but also to some of society’s most pressing challenges and to the mundane happenings of everyday life. This article begins by demonstrating this centrality of movement to contemporary life, before charting the conceptual development of the mobilities turn, and the need to understand mobility as relational. Relatable examples are used throughout to show mobilities in action and highlight the significance of ideas and issues of mobility for contemporary geography.

流动性地理：简介

本文向读者介绍了流动性的概念以及地理学中最近采用的一些方法。这样做的目的是鼓励对流动性的想法和问题进行有意义的参与，以及对流动性研究的广度的理解。尽管移动长期以来一直是地理学家关注的问题，例如在交通、旅游和移民研究中，对移动性的概念强调是该学科内一个较新的和重要的发展。因此，本文展示了运动和流动性不仅对地理，而且对一些社会最紧迫的挑战和日常生活中的平凡事件的中心性。这篇文章首先展示了这种运动对当代生活的中心地位，在绘制流动性的概念发展之前，我们需要将流动性理解为相关性。通篇使用了相关的例子来展示行动中的流动性，并强调流动性的思想和问题对当代地理的重要性。
