| description | Through the study of Israeli tourist mobility, this article questions the interrelations between wandering and hypermobility. In Israel, travelling after the completion of compulsory military service is a valued practice in contemporary society, and several thousand recently discharged young people pursue this faraway wandering every year. This article examines the phenomenon of post-military travel in Chile by proposing an approach based on spatial and virtual mobility and on the motility capital of the practitioners. The analysis of these mobilities reveals a form of long, flexible and virtually connected wandering that is part of the era of hypermobility. The insertion of the practice in a global and digitised context leads us to position it in a new category that we call hyper-wandering. |
