This book extends current understandings of the effects of using
locative social media on spatiality, the experience of time and
identity. This is a pertinent and timely topic given the increase
in opportunities people now have to explicitly and implicitly share
their location through digital and mobile technologies. There is a
growing body of research on locative media, much of this literature
has concentrated on spatial issues. Research here has explored how
locative media and location-based social media (LBSN) are used to
communicate and coordinate social interactions in public space,
affecting how people approach their surroundings, turning ordinary
life "into a game", and altering how mobile media is involved in
understanding the world. This book offers a critical analysis of
the effect of usage of locative social media on identity through an
engagement with the current literature on spatiality, a novel
critical investigation of the temporal effects of LBSN use and a
view of identity as influenced by the spatio-temporal effects of
interacting with place through LBSN. Drawing on phenomenology,
post-phenomenology and critical theory on social and locative
media, alongside established sociological frameworks for
approaching spatiality and the city, it presents a comprehensive
account of the effects of LBSN and locative media use.
