“…Within the context of this research, we acknowledge that mobility, as a gendered phenomenon, is ‘embedded in, and interacting with, the household, family, community and larger society’ (Kusakabe et al ., 2015). Confirming this claim, Lund (2013) argues that mobility, which relates to the capacity to move, can be identified as two sides of the same coin: as Khumya and Kusakabe (2015) also endorse, mobility is not only about the capacity to move, but it is also about the ways in which people act out their motility. This idea is very relevant to our conceptualization in this paper.…”

“…‘Mobility’ is defined as the large‐scale movement of people, objects, capital, ideas and technology, or the local everyday movement of people, material and non‐material things (Kaufmann et al ., 2004; Sheller & Urry, 2006). Academic scholarship on mobility holds that it is a social and geographical phenomenon located in time and space (Adey, 2006; Cresswell, 2006; Flamm & Kaufmann, 2006; Hanson, 2010; Kaufmann et al ., 2004; Khumya & Kusakabe, 2015; Lund, 2013; Panda et al ., 2013); hence, it should always be contextualized (Lee, 2017).…”

“…Mobility's entanglement with power (Hannam et al, 2006;Lund, 2013) is central to its relationship with difference. Hannam et al (2006: 3) note that certain places and technologies enhance mobility and immobility, simultaneously; this generates different manifestations of mobility, based on ethnicity, gender, age and class.…”

This article draws on research conducted in a fishing village in southern India to examine the ways in which middle-aged women in a precarious socio-economic position used mobility and immobility strategies to improve their livelihoods, both inside and outside of fisheries. Kaufmann et al. 's (2004) work on motility is applied to show how the mobility decisions and livelihood needs and plans of five women (occupying different socio-economic positions) were influenced by socioeconomic structures. The study shows that the women's mobility decisions allowed them to improve their socio-economic positions and reconfigure their gendered identities in the local village, outside the fishing sector. Motility (which encapsulates socio-spatial mobility) empowered these women by allowing them to move out of the increasingly precarious small-scale fisheries industry. We argue that the concept of motility provides a useful analytical framework for understanding mobility, and we use the women's narratives to exemplify this claim.
