Handbook of Mobile Communication Studies Relié – 13 juin 2008

Experts analyze how mobile communication is changing daily life and local culture around the world, in both industrialized and developing countries.
Mobile communication has become mainstream and even omnipresent. It is arguably the most successful and certainly the most rapidly adopted new technology in the world: more than one of every three people worldwide possesses a mobile phone. This volume offers a comprehensive view of the cultural, family, and interpersonal consequences of mobile communication across the globe. Leading scholars analyze the effect of mobile communication on all parts of life, from the relationship between literacy and the textual features of mobile phones to the use of ringtones as a form of social exchange, from the "aspirational consumption" of middle class families in India to the belief in parts of Africa and Asia that mobile phones can communicate with the dead. The contributors explore the ways mobile communication profoundly affects the tempo, structure, and process of daily life around the world. They discuss the impact of mobile communication on social networks, other communication strategies, traditional forms of social organization, and political activities. They consider how quickly miraculous technologies come to seem ordinary and even necessary--and how ordinary technology comes to seem mysterious and even miraculous. The chapters cut across social issues and geographical regions; they highlight use by the elite and the masses, utilitarian and expressive functions, and political and operational consequences. Taken together, the chapters demonstrate how mobile communication has affected the quality of life in both exotic and humdrum settings, and how it increasingly occupies center stage in people's lives around the world.

Les avis clients, y compris le nombre d’étoiles du produit, aident les clients à en savoir plus sur le produit et à décider s'il leur convient.
Pour calculer le nombre global d’étoiles et la ventilation en pourcentage par étoile, nous n'utilisons pas une simple moyenne.

The chapters span research in countries and regions including Ghana, China, Mexico, Northern Africa, the Arab Gulf States, New Zealand, Japan, Singapore, Israel, India, the Philippines, Indonesia and South Korea. The editor, James E. Katz, heads the Center for Mobile Communication Studies at Rutgers University.
The focus is not on mobile technology, but how it is used by people based on primary research.
The authors are largely university researchers or researchers in mobile carrier labs. Included are well known mobile ethnographers Jan Chipchase and early prognosticators on technology adoption such as Harold Rheingold and Sherry Turkle.
Much of this type of research is conducted within companies with mobile business interests, and is never published. The value of the book is as a guide to university mobile research centers, who is publishing publicly in the field, in which journals, and at which conferences.
Every essay is fascinating, readable, and extensively footnoted.
The first section is Digital Divides and Social Mobility: studies of feature phone use in developing countries. The second is Sociality and Copresence: studies of dimensions of the always connected individual and group. The third section, Politics and Social Change includes specific studies on democracy, civil society and social change driven by individual and group use of mobile technology. The last section is Culture and Imagination: including studies of mobile gaming, courtship and family dynamics in India, music, and even mobile applications to spiritual mysticism in the Philippines.
I look forward to more books in this format on the topic, published every 2-3 years. Mobile society is a critical worldchanging topic, and moves quickly.
