The anthropological study of contemporary peripatetic adaptations is based on selected anthropological literature dealing with peripatetic nomadism, mobility and marginality as well as ethnographic research in which the author observed the lives of 'liveaboards' who travel and live on boats in the Eastern Mediterranean and elsewhere. The peripatetic group of liveaboards can be theorized within peripatetic nomadism, yet the surrounding context of global modernity that brings to the fore increased living standards, technological development, recession, redundancy and disillusion with national state system is of particular importance. In the first part the development of the anthropological perspective on peripatetic nomadism will be presented in order to discuss parallels between traditional and contemporary cases. In the second part a discussion of mobility, marginality and inventiveness will be developed in relation to contemporary ethnographic accounts. Adapted from the source document.
