To sum up, authors use translocality to capture complex social–spatial interactions in a
holistic, actor-oriented and multi-dimensional understanding. The central idea of
translocality is aptly synthesised by Brickell and Datta (2011a, p. 3) as “situatedness during
mobility.” Authors engaging in the development of a translocal perspective seek to integrate
notions of fluidity and discontinuity associated with mobilities, movements and flows on the
one hand with notions of fixity, groundedness and situatedness in particular settings on the
other. Beyond this, however, what kind of mobilities and movements are authors referring
to when writing about translocality? And how are the notions of situatedness and
groundedness conceived? In the following sections, we address these questions.
