Online Territories

Online Territories brings together key research and writings in the interdisciplinary study of new media and society in order to address a number of questions arising from the ways in which online technologies are currently being envisioned, used and experienced. In doing so, it offers an up-to-date contextualization of online practices and explores, from a variety of perspectives, the emergence of new experiences/routines in relation to, and new conceptions of, social space. A central rationale for this volume is the need for further, research-based contextualization of preexisting theories related with globalization, mobility, citizenship and civic participation, socio-spatial dynamics and network society, for example. Online territories are traced in relation to three distinct and interrelated pathways the everyday; the civic and the public; and the transnational/translocal by taking mediation, communicative practice and social space as departure points. The volume ends with an Afterword by David Morley.
