Abstract

Can we speak of a totally normal chaos (Lash, Individualization in a Non-Linear Mode, 2002, [21]) of mobility in the second age of modernity? The current essay draws its inspiration mainly from the findings of systems theory and sociology about nonlinearity and individualization with particular application to mobility systems. Its first part analyzes the societal system of the second modernity as an open system with high nonlinearity. The second part applies reflections from the construction of hypotheses about the usage dynamics of an intelligent concept of social interaction on the move.
