Opis

This volume is dedicated to the subject of mobile communication and the transition in everyday life. Mobile media have become a part of the media ensemble and lead to specific media communication practices. Researching the integration of mobile media to everyday life allows a further analysis of the process of mediatization. The collected essays of this volume trace back to an international conference -(Mobile) Media and the Change of Everyday Life- at the University of Erfurt. The contributions investigate various aspects of the vibrant field of mobile communication."
