[ecrea] New journal Mobile Media & Communication launching 2013

Tue Jun 19 20:46:50 GMT 2012








Dear All,



SAGE will launch an exciting new title in January 2013 called Mobile Media & Communication.



The journal will be published three times a year and will be edited by Rich Ling (IT University of Copenhagen, Denmark), Veronika Karnowski (Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, Germany), Thilo von Pape (University of Hohenheim, Germany) and Steve Jones (University of Illinois at Chicago, USA).



Access to the first volume will by free by registering here. If you are interested in submitting a manuscript please visit this page.



About the journal:



Mobile Media & Communication is a peer-reviewed forum for international, interdisciplinary academic research on the dynamic field of mobile media and communication. Mobile Media & Communication draws on a wide and continually renewed range of disciplines, engaging broadly in the concept of mobility itself.



The journal embraces both quantitative and qualitative approaches to the study of mobility in communication, but above all aims toward state-of-the-art methodology. While the center of gravity lies in social sciences and humanities, the journal is open to research with technical, economic, and design aspects, provided they help to enlighten the social dimensions of mobile communication.



Mobile Media & Communication examines the phenomenon of mobility in communication – that is, what is understood as mobile media and communication, but also emerging phenomena such as mobile and ubiquitous computing. Contributions may include, but are certainly not limited to, explorations of the following topics:



• Mobile communication as an innovation, including the emergence of new usage forms, the negotiation of norms, and symbolic representation by producers and users

• The interrelationship of this nearly ubiquitous technology and the users’ everyday lives

• The embeddedness of mobile communication within social networks, and the mutual shaping of technology and social structure

•  Local cultures and forms of use of mobile communication

•  Mobile communication in developing countries

•  Cultural differences in mobile communication

•  Mobile communication and gender

• Specific methodologies that address the mobile character of the phenomenon: ethnography, observation, network analysis, experience sampling, and other still emerging methods

•  Mobile learning and education.

•  Persuasion through mobile media in various domains

•  History of mobile media

•  Journalism and mobile media

• Specific methodologies that address the mobile character of the phenomenon: ethnography, observation, network analysis, experience sampling, and other still emerging methods



Please forward this message to any of your colleagues that may be interested.



Best wishes,



Vern Swart
