Description:
The book is organized into five parts: (1) an introductory part that
focuses on the placement of mobile communication in the broader context
of information and communication research, (2) the interplay
between the public and the private (often drawing on the Goffmanian
front stage/backstage metaphor) and (3) the psychological (4) the linguistic
dimensions of mobile telephony and finally (5) the commercialization
of mobile communication applications.
