_Communications and Mobility_ is a unique, interdisciplinary look at
mobility, territory, communication, and transport in the 21st century
with extended case studies of three icons of this era: the mobile
phone, the migrant, and the container box.
* Urges scholars in media and communication to return to broader
conceptions of the field that include mobility of all
kinds--information, people, and commodities
* Embraces perspectives from media studies, science and technology
studies, sociology, media anthropology, and cultural geography
* Discusses ideas of virtual and embodied mobility, network
geographies, de-territorialization, sedentarism, nomadology,
connectivity, containment, and exclusion
* Integrates the often-neglected transport studies into contemporary
communication studies and theories of globalization
