| Περίληψη: | The article identifies the tools that Lee Child's popular Jack Reacher series employs for mobilizing readers emotionally and physically. It first explores how the novels' thematic focus, mobile vigilante justice in an unjust world, is designed to put readers' emotions in motion. Second, it proposes that the series' narrative strategies, prose style, and linguistic-sensory realm create readerly embodied mobility. The fast reading experience becomes analogous to the mobile, able-bodied, and agentive corporeality and sensory attentiveness epitomized by the series' nomadic protagonist. More broadly, the article proposes that text-based research enhances mobilities studies' understanding of embodied mobilities and how literary texts may speak of and position mobilities, perform mobilities, and construct agentive readerly emotional and physical mobility.
