In Baudelaire and Freud (1977), Leo Bersani posits that psychoanalysis offers a way of understanding sexuality as characterized by the mobility of fantasy, rather than by the content of fetishes or sexual identities, and that this mobility offers the "potential for explosive displacements." This short meditation explores how mobility as a concept, understood in Bersani's sense, helps us think beyond some of the paradoxes, redundancies, and aporias in both psy science and queer theoretical models of sexuality. The essay closes by showing how Bersani returned to "mobility" in Homos (1995) and argues that, via this concept, he suggests ways that queer theory itself can avoid becoming a "new normativity."

Mobility is one of Leo Bersani's hardest-working terms, ubiquitous in his many studies of sexuality, art, and culture. This essay examines the valences of the term with specific reference to Bersani's application of it in visual analyses, notably in his 1985 book on ancient Assyrian narrative sculptures, The Forms of Violence (with photographs by Ulysse Dutoit).

The free movement of people and of workers (intra EU mobility) is one of the corner-stones of the EU. It has overwhelmingly benefitted the citizens of the EU member states both in the countries of work and in the countries of origin. Earlier apprehensions on crowding out of less educated workers in the countries of destination and on welfare migration turned out to be by and large refuted. At the same time, EU mobility policies still need a significant deepening and upgrading, to deal with special cases of crowding out in subsectors and with fraudulent contracts. Full integration of some groups of mobile EU workers is difficult because of linguistic and cultural barriers. There is a new challenge for EU policy: integration of circular mobile migrants. EU countries should be guided by the EU to cut red tape and harmonize administration.

The European Commission, together with the European Parlia¬ment, is trying to find alternative ways of setting binding environmental targets for the shipping sector and its activities. The European Commission is thinking about setting national emission ceilings for the shipping sector and the European Parliament is considering the possibilities of in¬cluding the shipping sector into the European Trading Scheme for carbon dioxide, to name only two of the initiatives that are being discussed at this very moment. Generally speaking, we feel that all port actors, including ourselves can and must take action. It is a question of shared responsibilities and this we try to communicate in a consistent way to the different actors.
