>This book examines the influence of mobile media technology on the lives of=
>  young people in East and North Asia, South East Asia and Australia. It dis=
>cusses the impact information communication technologies have today on soci=
>al identity, well-being, participation and exclusion. It explores current m=
>edia practices and their innovative, transformative and disruptive uses at =
>the local, the regional, the national, and the global level. In particular,=
>  it analyses mobile media not as a discrete object, but rather as part of a=
>  dynamic communication and information environment in which human-object re=
>lations are constantly reconfigured. It covers key theoretical and conceptu=
>al themes in youth mobile media research focusing on social, cultural and p=
>olitical aspects, including coverage of key themes such as regulation and t=
>echnology, practices, pedagogies, aesthetics, social change, and representa=
>tions of mobile youth. The book includes new accounts of recent research in=
>to the uses of mobile media by young people, and how these are situated in =
>a broader socio-political context. Case studies include mobile panics in Au=
>stralia (the notorious Kings of Wirrabee sexual assault case) and Japan (th=
>e scandals of high school girls as teenage prostitutes) in which mobile med=
>ia use has had significant impact. This book offers an up-to-date examinati=
>on of the influence of information communication technologies on young peop=
>le=92s lives in the region.
