Abstract
This thesis is an attempt to dive beneath the surface of airspace and map how the space is produced, in a fashion, which stratifies aeromobilities. Drawing mainly on dialectical thinking and relational concepts of space as offered by David Harvey and Henry Lefebvre as well as aeromobilities inspired from the ‘new mobilities paradigme’ an ensemble of methods and concepts is constituted. This ‘conceptual apparatus’ enables understanding how space, travellers and mobilities can be stratified spatially. And the apparatus enables understanding mapping as a methodology of spatial enquiry and representation of space. The mapping is done from conducted field observations, the latest conducted by being a passenger/travelling researcher on the journey through Schiphol airport-seated in SAS airbus aeroplane-through Copenhagen Airport. And from interview conducted in 2008 and 2009.
