The Routledge Companion to Mobile Media Art (Paperback): Larissa Hjorth, Klare Lanson, Adriana De Souza E Silva The Routledge Companion to Mobile Media Art (Paperback)
Larissa Hjorth, Klare Lanson, Adriana De Souza E Silva
R1,404 Discovery Miles 14 040 Ships in 9 - 15 working days

In this companion, a diverse, international and interdisciplinary group of contributors and editors examine the rapidly expanding, far-reaching field of mobile media as it intersects with art across a range of spaces-theoretical, practical and conceptual. As a vehicle for-and of-the everyday, mobile media is recalibrating the relationship between art and digital networked media, and reshaping how creative practices such as writing, photography, video art and filmmaking are being conceptualized and practised. In exploring these innovations, The Routledge Companion to Mobile Media Art pulls together comprehensive, culturally nuanced and interdisciplinary approaches; considerations of broader media ecologies and histories and political, social and cultural dynamics; and critical and considered perspectives on the intersections between mobile media and art. This book is the definitive publication for researchers, artists and students interested in comprehending all the various aspects of mobile media art, covering digital media and culture, internet studies, games studies, anthropology, sociology, geography, media and communication, cultural studies and design.

Hybrid Play - Crossing Boundaries in Game Design, Players Identities and Play Spaces (Paperback): Ragan Glover-Rijkse, Adriana... Hybrid Play - Crossing Boundaries in Game Design, Players Identities and Play Spaces (Paperback)
Ragan Glover-Rijkse, Adriana De Souza E Silva
R1,289 Discovery Miles 12 890 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This book explores hybrid play as a site of interdisciplinary activity-one that is capable of generating new forms of mobility, communication, subjects, and artistic expression as well as new ways of interacting with and understanding the world. The chapters in this collection explore hybrid making, hybrid subjects, and hybrid spaces, generating interesting conversations about the past, current and future nature of hybrid play. Together, the authors offer important insights into how place and space are co-constructed through play; how, when, and for what reasons people occupy hybrid spaces; and how cultural practices shape elements of play and vice versa. A diverse group of scholars and practitioners provides a rich interdisciplinary perspective, which will be of great interest to those working in the areas of games studies, media studies, communication, gender studies, and media arts.

Mobile Interfaces in Public Spaces - Locational Privacy, Control, and Urban Sociability (Hardcover): Adriana De Souza E Silva,... Mobile Interfaces in Public Spaces - Locational Privacy, Control, and Urban Sociability (Hardcover)
Adriana De Souza E Silva, Jordan Frith
R4,741 Discovery Miles 47 410 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Mobile phones are no longer what they used to be. Not only can users connect to the Internet anywhere and anytime, they can also use their devices to map their precise geographic coordinates and access location-specific information like restaurant reviews, historical information, and locations of other people nearby. The proliferation of location-aware mobile technologies calls for a new understanding of how we define public spaces, how we deal with locational privacy, and how networks of power are developed today.

In Mobile Interfaces in Public Spaces, Adriana de Souza E. Silva and Jordan Frith examine these social and spatial changes by framing the development of location-aware technology within the context of other mobile and portable technologies such as the book, the Walkman, the iPod, and the mobile phone. These technologies work as interfaces to public spaces that is, as symbolic systems that not only filter information but also reshape communication relationships and the environment in which social interaction takes place. Yet rather than detaching people from their surroundings, the authors suggest that location-aware technologies may ultimately strengthen our connections to locations.

In this book, top scholars in the field of mobile communication discuss the major issues related to the use of mobile phones in today's society, such as the tension between private and public, youth mobile culture, creative appropriations of mobile devices, and mobile methods. Each chapter unfolds as an open dialogue between scholars and graduate students of communication. They contain an introduction by a student, followed by a short lecture and a question and answer section with the students, and a closing statement by a student that responds to the scholar's argument. The book is a valuable resource not only for individuals interested in mobile communication, but also students and teachers willing to use the affordances of mobile media to expand the physical boundaries of classrooms and promote collaborative learning practices.

Mobility and Locative Media - Mobile Communication in Hybrid Spaces (Hardcover): Adriana De Souza E Silva, Mimi Sheller Mobility and Locative Media - Mobile Communication in Hybrid Spaces (Hardcover)
Adriana De Souza E Silva, Mimi Sheller
R4,440 Discovery Miles 44 400 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

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."

Net Locality - Why Location Matters in a Networked  World (Hardcover): Eric Gordon, Adriana De Souza E Silva Net Locality - Why Location Matters in a Networked World (Hardcover)
Eric Gordon, Adriana De Souza E Silva
R2,229 Discovery Miles 22 290 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

The first book to provide an introduction to the new theory of Net Locality and the profound effect on individuals and societies when everything is located or locatable. Describes net locality as an emerging form of location awareness central to all aspects of digital media, from mobile phones, to Google Maps, to location-based social networks and games, such as Foursquare and facebook. Warns of the threats these technologies, such as data surveillance, present to our sense of privacy, while also outlining the opportunities for pro-social developments. Provides a theory of the web in the context of the history of emerging technologies, from GeoCities to GPS, Wi-Fi, Wiki Me, and Google Android.

Digital Cityscapes - Merging Digital and Urban Playspaces (Paperback, New edition): Adriana De Souza E Silva, Daniel M Sutko Digital Cityscapes - Merging Digital and Urban Playspaces (Paperback, New edition)
Adriana De Souza E Silva, Daniel M Sutko
R1,677 Discovery Miles 16 770 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

The convergence of smartphones, GPS, the Internet, and social networks has given rise to a playful, educational, and social media known as location-based and hybrid reality games. The essays in this book investigate this new phenomenon and provide a broad overview of the emerging field of location-aware mobile games, highlighting critical, social scientific, and design approaches to these types of games, and drawing attention to the social and cultural implications of mobile technologies in contemporary society. With a comprehensive approach that includes theory, design, and education, this edited volume is one of the first scholarly works to engage the emerging area of multi-user location-based mobile games and hybrid reality games. It is appropriate for undergraduate and graduate courses covering mobile phone or gaming culture, media history and educational technology, as well as researchers and the general public.
