This collection calls for 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, the 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.

This volume explores how emotions are constructed, expressed, and commodified in digital environments through language and discourse.Examining the multifaceted nature of online emotional communication across personal, intersubjective, and collective dimensions, an international and interdisciplinary group of authors analyse diverse digital contexts, from WhatsApp conversations and TikTok videos to online mourning practices and food imagery, using frameworks from pragmatics, discourse analysis, and digital communication studies. Organised into three sections – Personal Area, focusing on individual emotional expression, Intersubjective Area, examining emotions in sustained online interactions, and Collective Area, exploring emotions in group identity formation – the book provides new perspectives on how digital technologies are reshaping our emotional landscapes in the 21st century.This volume will offer valuable insights for researchers, educators, and students in communication studies, sociolinguistics, digital media and digital marketing.
