Mobilities has become an important framework to understand and
analyze contemporary social, spatial, economic and political
practices. Especially as mobile media become seamlessly integrated
into transportation networks, navigating urban spaces, and
connecting with social networks while on the move, researchers need
new approaches and methods to bring together mobilities with mobile
communication and locative media. Mobile communication scholars
have focused on cell phones, often ignoring broader connections to
urban spaces, geography, and locational media. As a result, they
emphasized virtual mobility and personalized communication as a way
of disconnecting from place, location and publics.
The growing pervasiveness of location-aware technology urges us
to rethink the intersection among location, mobile technologies and
mobility. Few studies have addressed the many transformations
taking place in mobile sociality and in urban spatial processes
through the appropriation of these technologies. This edited
collection will address this gap by exploring the intersection of
mobility, mobile communication, and locative media, as well as the
implications of this for adjacent fields such as mobile art, mobile
gaming, architecture, design, and urban planning."
