Images in Mobile Communication
New Content, New Uses, New Perspectives

Corinne Martin, Thilo von Pape (Eds.)

Wiesbaden, VS Research, 210 pages


This volume provides an original perspective on mobile communication, focusing on the emerging deployment of images in mobile phone usage: photography, video, mobile television, mobile internet, etc. Deeply embedded in our audiovisual culture, images possess the undeniable power to reshape the future of the mobile phone as an "individual mass medium". In this collection, European researchers in media and commu­nication studies, sociology, anthropology and political science present empirical and conceptual work on a wide range of issues, including cultural change, new forms of sociability on individual and societal levels, tactics and strategies of users and producers, and finally, representations and imaginaries of the mobile phone in other established media.

This book is written for researchers and students of sociology, communication studies and cultural studies as well as for practitioners of interactive media and online communication.

Dr. Corinne Martin is an Assistant Professor at the Centre for Research on Mediations (CREM), Paul Verlaine University of Metz, France

Dr. Thilo von Pape is a Research Associate at the Institute of Communication Studies, Hohenheim University in Stuttgart, Germany
