Abstract
This article traces the enduring legacy of metaphorical thinking in John Urry's work. It begins with a reflection on metaphorical thinking as a mobile epistemology and then details the impact of three key metaphors Urry proposed in his work: the tourist gaze, nomads, and dwelling-in-mobility. The article focuses on the way these metaphors have informed my own research on mobile lifestyles, but also discusses the broader impact of Urry's metaphorical thinking on the current and future field of mobilities studies.
