Abstract

Agricultural systems of modern societies, the concept of fashion and the phenomenon of human mobility have become realities with basic significance. These two are not isolated, but are connected at the roots in forming human mental attitudes and senses of values that give vitality to modern culture. Especially, the body-thinking process that characterizes fashion and mobility is the key to open up a new horizon in human lifestyles, breaking through the limit of the familiar logical thinking pattern. What is now required with increasing potency is a new approach to culture on the criteria best described as mobile humanity. The problem is examined from the viewpoint of communications, transportation, and fashion and mobility space, and finally, in part aspects are presented on the basis of the image of the car and the man as manifested in the latest fashion.
