I will look at the convergence of media, mobility and cities aselaborated in 1. existing literature in the fields of media studies, network theory, mobility studies, andcultural geography; 2. recent new media practices that have employed these digital mobiletechnologies to critically intervene in what some consider as negative developments of mediatization,commercialization and surveillance of public space. These experiments are carried out by activists,artists and academics, and aim at alternative usages of mobile media for various social and culturalends.PUBLICATIONSBooks and EditionsCritical Distance: Fragmentation from Friedrich Schlegel to James Joyce.
