Abstract
This chapter sets out a theoretical reading of family and intimate mobilities in which I review the main developments in both family practices and mobilities literature and draw out synergies between the two. The main aim is to explore how mobilities can be refashioned through an engagement with family practices and vice versa. The mobilities paradigm is, by nature, fluid and in constant development; and it is fitting with the philosophical bases of the mobilities turn that its relevance to other social science disciplines is explored. Moreover, this engagement should in turn generate re-visionist readings of mobilities.
