Résumé : The ‘mobilities turn’ has reinvigorated the social critique on the automobilitysystem. Theorizing its profound reconfigurations of social life, relationist commitments invitea certain silence regarding the associated social pathologies, however. This article explores acritical-theoretical interpretation of the mobilities paradigm. It proposes the ‘interactive metalfatigue’ (IMF) concept, which theorizes the emergence of ‘interpassive’ social relations associo-technical dialectics. Taking into account the contradictions that surround the criticaltheoreticalproject, IMF paves the way for balanced critiques of mobilities. This will beshown through the case of Shared Space, an attempt to free public space from traffic managementcolonization.
