>Call it a mobile, cell phone, or keitai; when an incoming call is heard,
>both power and place concerns arise. Mobile telephony adoption and usage
>is about power and place. The power of the mobile is increasing as it
>integrates with other everyday technologies, objects, and across media
>platforms. Currently there is significant emerging work on mobiles in
>various disciplines in Australia and New Zealand, as part of a vibrant
>international reckoning of mobiles and online technologies.
>
>In this light, the aim of the Placing Mobile Communication stream, and
>associated special issue of the Australian Journal of Communication, is
>to bring together researchers undertaking work on mobiles, with the
>particular aim of offering an opportunity to present and reflect upon
>Australian and New Zealand work in progress. We also wish to encourage
>discussion on where mobiles fit into media and communications
>traditions, and also on how local work fits into, and reconfigures,
>various contexts (regional, international, subcultural, national).
>
>Abstracts that examine the subject area from different theoretical and
>methodological approaches are welcomed. Suggested topics include (but
>are certainly not limited to):
>
>Gender politics and the mobile phone
>Locating the local and the global with mobiles Theories of the digital

>integration of mobile phone use into professional and personal life
>Mobile phone use from both mass and interpersonal communication
