New Tech, New Ties : How Mobile Communication Is Reshaping Social Cohesion

Attribution
Rich LingPublication Details
BookMIT Press2008Links
Description
The message of this book is simple: the mobile phone strengthens social bonds among family and friends. Ling finds that through the use of various social rituals the mobile telephone strengthens social ties within the circle of friends and family?sometimes at the expense of interaction with those who are physically present?and creates what he calls “bounded solidarity.” From this perspective, he examines how mobile communication affects face-to-face ritual situations and how ritual is used in interaction mediated by mobile communication.

Remediation : Understanding New Media

Attribution
Jay David Bolter and Richard GrusinPublication Details
BookMIT Press1999Description
“Jay Bolter and Richard Grusin see through new media, seeing through in every sense of that phrase: staying with it, seeing with it, and most of all looking past it, both forward and back. They argue that new visual media achieve their cultural significance precisely by paying homage to, rivaling, and refashioning such earlier media as perspective painting, photography, film, and television. They call this process of refashioning “remediation,” and they note that earlier media have also refashioned one another: photography remediated painting, film remediated stage production and photography, and television remediated film, vaudeville, and radio.
