0Territory has been traditionally imagined as almost the opposite of mobility. But, isthis the only way to imagine territorial phenomena? In this piece, I argue that, by casting anew outlook on the "sedentarist paradigm," it is possible to develop a conception of territorywhich might be beneficial to mobility studies. Indeed, mobility studies have underestimated theforce of territories. A double move is thus necessary to capture at best the nexus of mobilityand immobility: mobilizing territories, on the one hand, territorializing mobilities, on the other.It is not simply a matter of recognizing that often the creation of certain forms of mobilityfor some actors is correlative to the creation of a number of immobilities for other actors,or even for the same actors in a different respect or capacity. Rather, we should be able toexplain social relations themselves in terms of composite ways of spatialization and territorialization.
