This collection calls greater attention to the need for a clearer
understanding of the role of discourse in the process of
placemaking in the digital age and the increasing hybridisation of
physical and virtual worlds. The volume outlines a new
conceptualisation of place in the time of smartphones, whose
technological and social affordances evoke placemaking as a
collaborative endeavour which allows users to create and maintain a
sense of community around place as shareable or collective
experience. Taken together, chapters argue for a greater emphasis
on the ways in which users employ discourse to manage this
physical-virtual interface in digital interactions and in turn,
produce "remixed" cultural practices that draw on diverse digital
semiotic resources and reflect their everyday experiences of place
and location. The book explores a wide range of topics and contexts
which embody these dynamics, including livestreaming platforms,
mourning in the digital age, e-service encounters, and Internet
forums. While the overlay of physical and virtual information on
location-based media is not a new phenomenon, this volume argues
that, in the face of its increasing pervasiveness, we can better
understand its unfolding and future directions for research by
accounting for the significance of place in today's interactions.
This book will be of interest to students and scholars in discourse
analysis, digital communication, pragmatics, and media studies.
