[ecrea] Call for articles: new media and mobility

We invite articles for the special issue of the journal Human Technology 
on "New media, mobility and place making". New media currently play a 
crucial role in the way migrants negotiate their travel routes and 
establish and maintain relations while moving and settling down. 
However, new media also influence and relate to various other forms of 
mobility-and immobility. The special journal issue will explore how new 
media (mobile phones, smart phones, social media and the internet) use 
is connected to and relates with mobility and place making. It analyzes 
how new media influence mobility and the meaning of places. We invite 
articles which, among other things, can explore new media use and 
migration, use of new media for social mobility and imagination as well 
as people's involvements in overlapping digital spheres and frictions 
that derive from their embeddedness in digital and offline social 
fields. We welcome articles which are based on empirical research and 
seek to make a theoretical contribution.

The deadline for manuscripts is the end of September 2018.
