Resumen de The Geographical Dimension of Human Mobility: a Spanish Perspective
Population mobility and, particularly, migrations, have attracted theattention of an exiguous number of geographers, even though they hold an undeniabletransforming power in spaces and societies. The transversal nature of this subject, at theintersection of the humanities and social sciences, has made it indebted to otherdisciplines: history, anthropology, sociology, etc. However, since the turn of the century,the transfer of study approaches, methods, and procedures within science has reinforcedthe role of geography in mobility research, giving it a renewed vitality. In turn, a reviewof its issues and analysis perspectives becomes a valuable instrument to identify theinfluence of the currents of thought guiding the future of geography and making thestate of knowledge on human mobility an indicator of those paradigms that have beenmost successful.
