Description
Bodies and Mobile Media by Ingrid Richardson and Rowan Wilken explores how mobile media shape our perception and bodily experience of the world. By examining specific sensory affordances and body parts, the authors consider the uneven ratios of sensory perception at work in our engagement with mobile devices. This book offers a unique approach to understanding the relationship between the body and technology, drawing on current scholarship in media studies and phenomenology. The result is an insightful analysis that sheds light on how our experience of the world is mediated by technology. A crucial work for anyone looking to critically understand the impact of technology on perception and experience, Bodies and Mobile Media will be of interest to students and scholars in media, communication and cultural studies.
