Digital networking platforms like Facebook and Twitter have revolutionized everyday human interaction by facilitating the search for, and access to, information, entertainment, and social connection. But with the rise of digital surveillance and data extraction for profit, more people are seeking not just to disconnect from technology but to fully disentangle themselves from the widespread social, economic, and political networks of digital communications. Disentangling offers an interdisciplinary global analysis of this growing trend toward disconnection. Moving beyond technological disconnection, this volume proposes the term "disentangling" as a lens for re-thinking the structures of our digital world and categorizing the ways in which people reject, avoid, or rework their digital networks. Across twelve chapters, contributors explore the existential issues stemming from digitally entangled lives, including cultural capital and digital "detox" retreats, and investigate how geographies of disconnection relate to wider societal challenges. Additional chapters explore connections between digital disconnection and other forms of disconnection, including death, sleep, and the abandonment of human settlements. The volume closes with a reflection on connectivity in the post-pandemic society and how we might rework our connections to fit a "socially distanced" world.Blending philosophy and sociology with media geography, Disentangling offers a crucial reflection on how we might unravel our digital dependence by reasserting resilient boundaries between ourselves and the surrounding political, economic, cultural, and technological systems.

This book introduces and develops the concept of geomedia studies as the name of a particular subfield of communication geography. Despite the accelerating societal relevance of ‘geomedia’ technologies for the production of various spaces, mobilities, and power-relations, and the unquestionable emergence of a vibrant research field that deals with questions pertaining to such topics, the term geomedia studies remains surprisingly unestablished. By addressing imperative questions about the implications of geomedia technologies for organizations, social groups and individuals (e.g. businesses profiting from geo-surveillance, refugees or migrants moving across national borders, or artists claiming their rights to public space) the book also aims to contribute to ongoing academic and societal debates in our increasingly mediatized world.

Certain bizarre spaces, where disruption or disarray rule, leave us estranged and 'out of place'. This book examines such spaces, highlighting the emotional and mediated geographies of uncertainty and the state of being 'in-between'; of cognitive displacement, loss, fear, or exhilaration. It expands on why space is sometimes estranging and for whom it is strange. It is the first book to link strangeness and spatial production, as well as empirical explorations of strange spaces within a profound theoretical discussion of 'what is strange about strange spaces' and how they evolve in a modern media age.

Timely and original, Rethinking Communication Geographies explores the human condition under digital capitalism, depicting an environment in which digital logistics have taken centre stage in day-to-day life. The book responds to a pressing need to address the key questions of human autonomy and security, as well as the social power relations of the platform economy, in a world in which media and space have become increasingly entangled. Establishing a framework for understanding ‘geomedia’ as an environmental regime that shapes human subjectivity, André Jansson advances a humanistic and interdisciplinary approach to the study of communication geographies, arguing that human activities are accommodated to sustain the circulation of digital data. The book examines concrete examples related to audio-streaming, transmedia tourism, and platform urbanism, ultimately demonstrating how digital skills and logistical expertise have become forms of capital in contemporary society. Mapping ongoing transitions related to how digitalization affects spatial processes, the unique perspectives explored in this book will be of equal interest to postgraduates and researchers in the fields of human geography and media and communication studies. The innovative concepts and approaches to the study of digital geography introduced throughout will also enhance the dialogue between a vast range of disciplines across the humanities and social sciences.

In Transmedia Work¸ Karin Fast and André Jansson explore several key questions that frame the study of the social and cultural implications of a digital, connected workforce. How might we understand ‘privilege’ and ‘precariousness’ in today’s digitalized work market? What does it mean to be a privileged worker under the so-called connectivity imperative? What are the social and cultural forces that normalize the appropriation of new media in, and beyond, the workplace? These key questions come together in the notion of transmedia work – a term through which a social critique of work under digital modernity can be formulated. Transmedia work refers to the rise of a new social condition that saturates many different types of work, with various outcomes. In some social groups, and in certain professions, transmedia work is wholeheartedly embraced, while it is questioned and resisted elsewhere. There are also variations in terms of control; who can maintain a sense of mastery over transmedia work and who cannot? Through interviews with cultural workers, expatriates, and mobile business workers, and ancillary empirical data such as corporate technology and coworking discourse, Transmedia Work is an important addition to the study of mediatization and digital culture.

Although there are human geographers who have previously written on matters of media and communication, and those in media and communication studies who have previously written on geographical issues, this is the first book-length dialogue in which experienced theorists and researchers from these different fields address each other directly and engage in conversation across traditional academic boundaries. The result is a compelling discussion, with the authors setting out statements of their positions before responding to the arguments made by others.One significant aspect of this discussion is a spirited debate about the sort of interdisciplinary area that might emerge as a focus for future work. Does the already-established idea of communication geography offer the best way forward? If so, what would applied or critical forms of communication geography be concerned to do? Could communication geography benefit from the sorts of conjunctural analysis that have been developed in contemporary cultural studies? Might a further way forward be to imagine an interdisciplinary field of everyday-life studies, which would draw critically on non-representational theories of practice and movement?Readers of Communications/Media/Geographies are invited to join the debate, thinking through such questions for themselves, and the themes that are explored in this book (for example, of space, place, meaning, power, and ethics) will be of interest not only to academics in human geography and in media and communication studies, but also to a wider range of scholars from across the humanities and social sciences.

Mediatization and Mobile Lives: A Critical Approach contributes to a complex, situated and critical understanding of what mediatization means and how it works in contemporary life. The book explores the tension between the extended capabilities offered by media technology and growing media reliance, focusing particularly on mobile middle-class lives. It problematizes how mediatization is culturally legitimized in our times, when connectivity and mobility are increasingly seen as mandatory elements of self-realization. Supported by extensive fieldwork carried out in contexts of gentrification, elite cosmopolitanism and post-tourism, André Jansson advances a critical, cultural materialist perspective of mediatization as he examines how people are torn between the new opportunities afforded by their mobile lives and the feeling of being trapped by our connected media culture. Mediatization and Mobile Lives offers an engaging and critical exploration of the interplay between mediatization, individualization and globalization, making it an ideal resource for students and scholars of Media and Communication.

Online Territories brings key research and writings in the interdisciplinary study of new media and society together to answer questions arising from the ways in which online technologies are currently being envisioned, used, and experienced. The book offers an up-to-date contextualization of online practices and explores, from a variety of perspectives, the emergence of new experiences and routines in relation to – and new conceptions of – social space. This volume addresses the need for further, research-based contextualization of preexisting theories related with globalization, mobility, citizenship and civic participation, socio-spatial dynamics, network society, and others. Online territories are traced in relation to three distinct and interrelated pathways – the everyday; the civic and the public; and the transnational/translocal – by taking mediation, communicative practice, and social space as departure points. The book includes an afterword by David Morley.

How do individuals perceive the increasingly open-ended nature of mediated surveillance? In what ways are mediated surveillance practices interwoven with identity processes, political struggles, expression of dissent and the production of social space? One of the most significant issues in contemporary society is the complex forms and conflicting meanings surveillance takes. Media, Surveillance and Identity addresses the need for contextualized social perspectives within the study of mediated surveillance. The volume takes account of dominant power structures (such as state surveillance and commercial surveillance) and social reproduction as well as political economic considerations, counter-privacy discourses, and class and gender hegemonies. Some chapters analyse particular media types, formats or platforms (such as loyalty cards or location based services), while others account for the composite dynamics of media ensembles within particular spaces of surveillance or identity creation (such as consumerism or the domestic sphere). Through empirically grounded research, the volume seeks to advance a complex framework of research for future scrutiny as well as rethinking the very concept of surveillance. In doing so, it offers a unique contribution to contemporary debates on the social implications of mediated practices and surveillance cultures.

I den moderna demokratin är mediernas ställning central. Demokratins vitalitet och kvalitet är i hög grad beroende av hur den politiska kommunikationen mellan det politiska systemet, medierna och medborgarna ser ut. Demokratins ideal om en fri informationsförmedling, granskning och debatt ställer stora krav på medierna och journalistiken. Samtidigt finns starka ekonomiska, teknolog¬iska och kulturella villkor som i realiteten påverkar mediernas möjligheter och sätt att fungera.I denna andra upplaga av Medierna och demokratin diskuterar ledande forskare på ett djupgående och nyanserat sätt mediernas villkor, journalistikens roll och innehåll samt mediernas förhållande till publiken för att belysa hur den politiska kommunikationen fungerar och påverkar demokratins kvalitet och funktionssätt. Varje kapitel introducerar centrala teoretiska perspektiv och den senaste forskningen på området.Med sitt tydliga fokus på medier och demokrati lämpar sig boken för studenter i medie- och kommunikationsvetenskap, journalistik och statsvetenskap på grundläggande nivå. Boken vänder sig också till alla som på ett mer allmänt plan intresserar sig för dessa frågor.

Kommunikation är en förutsättning för att ett samhälle eller en kultur överhuvudtaget ska kunna existera. Detta gäller inte minst i en tid då tillvaron genomsyras av digitala medier och ett överflöd av kommunikation. Men vad är kommunikation? Vilka frågor är viktiga att studera? På vilka sätt och med vilka begrepp? Kommunikation förstås på olika sätt beroende på vilken tradition frågorna ställs ifrån och boken tar fasta på denna begreppsmässiga mångfald. Här kartläggs sju centrala kommunikationsteoretiska traditioner som har format och fortsätter forma forskares sätt att närma sig området: den retoriska, den fenomenologiska, den semiotiska, den socialpsykologiska, den kritiska, den cybernetiska och den sociokulturella traditionen.Kommunikation. En introduktion vänder sig till alla som är intresserade av vetenskapliga perspektiv på kommunikation men lämpar sig särskilt väl inom humanistiska och samhällsvetenskapliga grundutbildningar på svenska högskolor och universitet.

Kommunikation har alltid funnits men med olika innebörd. I den här boken ges en orientering kring vad kommunikation betytt i olika historiska sammanhang, med utgångspunkt i några grundläggande teoretiska tankefigurer. Boken pekar också ut tre alternativa synsätt på kommunikationens roll i dagens samhälle samt olika former av ”avfall” som genereras i kommunikativa processer.
Sagt om boken"En kunnig, innovativ och mycket engagerande introduktion till begreppet kommunikation. André Jansson visar hur kommunikation är helt sammanvävd med samhällsstrukturer och med våra sätt att leva. Genom stimulerande tankefigurer och en tillgänglig, resonerande stil utmanar han läsaren att reflektera över sina egna kommunikationsmönster och att dra analytiska slutsatser av dessa mönster.”Peter Dahlgren, professor i medie- och kommunikationsvetenskap, Lunds universitet
BeGreppbart är en serie introducerande böcker i samhällsvetenskap. Varje bok behandlar ett centralt begrepp och adderar en pusselbit till vår förståelse av samhället. Utforskande. Fokuserat. Dynamiskt. Greppbar kunskap i ett nötskal. Helt enkelt.

Denna bok handlar om de omvandlingar som två storstäder, Göteborg och Malmö, genomgått under de senaste decennierna. Den framhåller tre förhållanden: postindustrialism, globalisering och migration. Den postindustriella utvecklingen har inte bara förändrat städernas ekonomiska liv utan också stadslandskapet. Denna utveckling är i sin tur sammanflätad med den ekonomiska globaliseringen. På folkhemmets tid var Göteborg och Malmö infogade i nationella politiska mål. För de två städerna handlar det idag om anpassning till den globaliserade marknaden. Samtidigt har den globala omflyttningen av männi-skor gjort städerna mångkulturella. Även om Göteborg och Malmö inte direkt kan jämföras med Los Angeles eller andra »globala städer» kan liknande konfliktmönster, med bas i etnisk, social och kulturell särbehandling, skönjas också här. Boken ingår i Skriftserien STUDIER AV SAMTIDSKULTUR som utges av Centrum för Kulturstudier vid Göteborgs universitet. Ove Sernhede är professor i socialt arbete och Thomas Johansson i socialpsykologi. Båda är verksamma vid Centrum för kulturstudier vid Göteborgs universitet.

Landsbygdens globalisering handlar om den svenska landsbygdens omvandling i ett medialiserat, rörligt och symbolbemängt samhälle. Medier spelar en avgörande roll för landsbygdens framtid. Å ena sidan ökar medierna förbindelserna mellan stad och land och ruckar därmed på geografiska gränser, å andra sidan formar de människors föreställningar om stad och land, centrum och periferi, framtid och historia. Med en nationell enkätundersökning och lokala fallstudier i Skåne och Värmland som grundval studerar Magnus Andersson och André Jansson det medialiserade spänningsfältet mellan lokalt nedärvda levnadsmönster och en alltmer mångfacetterad och sammanlänkad omvärld. Landsbygdens globalisering argumentar med utgångspunkt i dessa studier för att den mångfald och heterogenitet som social och geografisk mobilitet ger upphov till rymmer en potential till social förändring. När det etablerade och det historieförankrade möter andra erfarenheter kan en ny social hållbarhet och nya visioner om landsbygden (och olika landsbygder) uppstå. I det sammanhanget är kommunikationens nya tekniker och nätverk centrala. Dessa åstadkommer inga förändringringar i sig själva, men som plattformar och arenor för kommunikation skapar de förutsättningar för transformativa möten och handlingar.
