Mediated mobilities
journal contribution
posted on 2015-06-26, 08:35 authored by Emily KeightleyEmily Keightley, Anna ReadingIn this article we introduce the themed issue ‘Mediated Mobilities’. We begin by
articulating some of the potential relationships between media and mobility critically
addressing the key conceptual distinctions that underpin them and the methodological
demands placed on media studies when exploring the complex ways in which mobility
is embedded in contemporary media ecologies. In the first instance we consider
precisely what is meant by mobility, and, more specifically, interrogate the dynamic
relationship between mediated mobility and immobility. We then move on to develop
a methodological framework or agenda for research on mediated mobilities. This
framework traces how existing analytical trajectories in media studies research need
to be developed and synthesized in order to be able to account for the multiple modes
of mobility facilitated by media technologies, texts, institutions and audiences. In the
last part of the article we examine the development of innovative methodologies and
forms of analysis that give emphasis to movement and trajectory, but also human and
algorithmic agency.
