Abstract This article begins with the contemporary context of transnational academic mobility, and sketches a typology of mobile academics according to their self-identification. UK examples are offered as the main case study here. The article will then explore the relations of mobile academics and their embodied and encultured knowledge. It employs a concept of 'transnational identity capital' to discuss the position of transnational mobile academic intellectuals as a 'stranger' as inspired by Simmel's sociology of space. Keywords: transnational academic mobilityencultured knowledgeidentity capitalacademic intellectualsSimmelposition of a stranger Notes 1. See http: //tuning. unideusto. org/tuningeu/ 2.
