“A unique contribution to critical mobilities research through its integration of theoretical models from media studies, neurophysiology, and semiotics. The book pursues a bold, practical aspiration to change everyday habits... [continued in Reviews below]”—Steve Anderson, associate professor of Media Arts + Practice, USC School of Cinematic Arts, Addresses the effect of mobile communications technologies on individuals habits and how they are regulated Winner of the 2015 Anne Friedberg Innovative Scholarship Award from the Society for Cinema and Media Studies Finding Augusta breaks new ground, revising how media studies interpret the relationship between our bodies and technology. This is a challenging exploration of how, for both good and ill, the sudden ubiquity of mobile devices, GPS systems, haptic technologies, and other forms of media alter individuals’ experience of their bodies and shape the social collective. The author succeeds in problematizing the most salient fact of contemporary mobile media technologies, namely, that they have become, like highways and plumbing, an infrastructure that regulates habit. Audacious in its originality, Finding Augusta will be of great interest to art and media scholars alike. Click here for TABLE OF CONTENTS
