Infrastructuring Im/Mobilities

The conference foregrounds the experience and diagnosis of im/mobilities including their dynamic constellations, procedural logics, modes of governance, and the human differentiation it produces. Our attention is directed to moments in which mobilities and immobilities mutually problematize one another: when infrastructuring processes falter or collapse, when stabilized bureaucratic categories fail to correspond to lived realities, and when human and non-human actors continuously negotiate or challenge the conditions of movement and stasis. In such situations, im/mobility appears not as a binary relation but as a contested, reversible, and often demanding matter of concern. By focusing on ambivalences, temporal and historical discrepancies, and the moral labor and imaginative promises embedded in infrastructural practices, the conference discusses the infrastructuring of im/mobilities in its entanglements.
