Media are incorporated into our physical environments more
dramatically than ever before - literally opening up new spaces of
interactivity and connection that transform the experience of being
in the city. Public gatherings and movement, even the capabilities
of democratic ideology, have been redefined. Urban Screens, mobile
media, new digital mappings, and ambient and pervasive media have
all created new ecologies in cities. How do we analyze these new
spaces? Recognition of the mutual histories and research programs
of urban and media studies is only the beginning. Cartographies of
Place develops new vocabularies and methodologies for engaging with
the distinctive situations and experiences created by media
technologies which are reshaping, augmenting, and expanding urban
spaces. The book builds upon the rich traditions and insights of a
post-war generation of humanist scholars, media theorists, and
urban planners. Authors engage with different historical and
contemporary currents in urban studies which share a common concern
for media forms, either as research tools or as the means for
discerning the expressive nature of city spaces around the world.
All of the media considered here are not simply "free floating,"
but are deeply embedded in the geopolitical, economic, and material
contexts in which they are used. Cartographies of Place is
exemplary of a new direction in interdisciplinary media
scholarship, opening up new ways of studying the complexities of
cities and urban media in a global context.
