This book examines the influence of mobile media technology on
the lives of young people in East and North Asia, South East Asia
and Australia. It discusses the impact information communication
technologies have today on social identity, well-being,
participation and exclusion. It explores current media practices
and their innovative, transformative and disruptive uses at the
local, the regional, the national, and the global level. In
particular, it analyses mobile media not as a discrete object, but
rather as part of a dynamic communication and information
environment in which human-object relations are constantly
reconfigured. It covers key theoretical and conceptual themes in
youth mobile media research focusing on social, cultural and
political aspects, including coverage of key themes such as
regulation and technology, practices, pedagogies, aesthetics,
social change, and representations of mobile youth. The book
includes new accounts of recent research into the uses of mobile
media by young people, and how these are situated in a broader
socio-political context. Case studies include mobile panics in
Australia (the notorious Kings of Wirrabee sexual assault case) and
Japan (the scandals of high school girls as teenage prostitutes) in
which mobile media use has had significant impact. This book offers
an up-to-date examination of the influence of information
communication technologies on young people's lives in the
region.
