The mobile phone and other digital <br>technologies have deeply transformed the ways in which cities are <br>experienced (Pink and Leder Mackley 2013). At the same time, urban actors <br>take part in developing digital technologies and redefining their use. <br>Drawing on perspectives from media and urban anthropology, the main aim of <br>this panel is to trace the social relationships behind digital and urban <br>processes. Sociotechnical innovations, such as the mobile phone and "smart" <br>infrastructures, make new phenomenologies of public life in urban contexts <br>necessary. In addition to providing information on the go, mobile phones <br>can "know" their users' geographical position and other features (Hjorth et <br>al. 2017), while constantly being reconfigured according to different, <br>sometimes conflicting, interests. Creating a forum for anthropological <br>scholars from the Global South and Global North, this panel invites <br>ethnographic accounts of the digitization of or in urbanity, methodological <br>papers on digital ethnographies of the city, and theoretical contributions <br>to urban change in the digital age. Drawing on the anthropological <br>tradition of studying the role of cultural swirls in innovation processes <br>(Hannerz 1992, Wilf 2019), ethnography can provide new understandings of <br>digital technologies in cityscapes. The proliferation of the digital in <br>everyday life raises numerous questions about urban spatiality, privacy, <br>and surveillance. How are new forms of sociality created in "smart" cities? <br>What technological imaginaries shape urban planning? How are digital <br>technologies reappropriated in urban areas? How is the datafication of <br>urban life locally negotiated? <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br>Dr. Christian Ritter <br> <br>Research Fellow and Lecturer <br> <br>Centre of Excellence in Media Innovation and Digital Culture (MEDIT) <br>Tallinna Ülikooli—Balti filmi, meedia, kunstide ja kommunikatsiooni <br>instituut <br>Baltic Film, Media, Arts and Communication School <br>Tallinn University <br>_______________________________________________ <br>EASST's Eurograd mailing list <br>Eurograd (at) lists.easst.net <br>Unsubscribe or edit subscription options: http://lists.easst.net/listinfo.cgi/eurograd-easst.net <br> <br>Meet us via https://twitter.com/STSeasst <br> <br>Report abuses of this list to Eurograd-owner@lists.easst.netview formatted text
