What kind of time do we endure on our daily commutes? What kind of space do we occupy? What new sorts of urbanites do we thereby become? In Transit Life: How Commuting Is Transforming Our Cities (MIT Press, 2018), geographer David Bissell contends that to commute is to enter a highly eventful domain, an atmosphere in which new “capsular collectives” form and reform, opening onto new political and ethical possibilities for being in public. With Sydney, Australia, as its setting, Transit Life develops a non-representational geography on the move, attentive to the blockages and flows that give infrastructural life its contours. Dwelling on embodiment, temporality, sound and other senses, and a broadly Deleuzian vision of micropolitics, Bissell makes the case that the commute should be understood as anything but an empty interval of time, passively submitted to and upheld only through the force of habit. Rather, he contends, out of its repetition emerges a richly differentiated palette of urban encounters, subjectivities, and agencies. If urban life is increasingly spent in transit, Bissell suggests, geographers’ interventions should begin with an interest in its rhythms. Peter Ekman teaches in the departments of geography at Sonoma State University and the University of California, Berkeley.

David is Associate Professor at the School of Geography, Melbourne University. UPDATE - apologies from Liz, this has now been replaced with the correct file (David not Brett!)

In his new book, Transit Life published by MIT Press, Associate Professor David Bissell encourages us to think about how we use our daily commute, and it is shaping our relationships, how we work and how we build our cities. He chats about the joys and pains of commuting to Steve Grimwade.Episode recorded: August 21, 2018Interviewer: Steve GrimwadeProducers: Chris Hatzis, Dr Andi Horvath and Silvi Vann-WallAudio engineer and editor: Chris HatzisBanner image: Shutterstock

In PX41, Jess Noonan and Peter Jewell interview David Bissell about his recently published book Transit Life - How Commuting is Transforming Our Cities (MIT Press). David is Associate Professor and Australian Research Council Future Fellow at the School of Geography, Melbourne University. In prepartion for the book, David undertook extensive field research and comprehensively reviewed previously published works. He brings new insights on how 'the commute' is changing citizens. The commute is a separate space in citizens lives and too often treated poorly. He identifies new means and approaches to making life better within these jorneys. Fresh and insightful, Transit Life brings humanity to a sometimes dry analysis of commuting times and means. The podcast interview includes discussions on the 'commute corridor' and how authorities, designers and practitioners can improve this space/sphere. Podcast released 31 August 2018. Technical production by Zak Willsallen of Complete Podcast Services. For more information go to www.planningxchange.org
