My Reading List Three areas: 1. Mobilities and Urban Space (p. 1-5) 2. Mobile Technologies (p. 5-8) 3. Philosophies of Technology: A focus on Activity Theory and Actor-Network Theory (p. 811)

Mobilities and Urban Space I designed this area to combine readings on mobilities with readings on urban space. Some of these readings, such as Massey, Lefebvre, and Auge, deal with the construction of space more generally, but all three of these thinkers have an interest in urban space specifically. By combining a few foundational readings on spatial theory with readings on urban theory, I hope to develop a robust understanding of how both the built environment and everyday practices construct space. My goal is not to delve into prominent postmodern thinkers on space, a group that includes Soja and Harvey. Instead, I want to focus primarily on urban theorists, including Simmel and Sennett. My theoretical grounding ultimately comes from scholars who argue that it is impossible to understand space without understanding how people move through it (e.g. de Certeau, Sheller and Urry, Dourish, etc). For that reason, I believe the best way to approach an examination of urban space is to also draw from mobilities researchers. Many of the urban and spatial theorists I‟ve included implicitly understand mobility as one of the most important factors in understanding urban space, even if they do not explicitly discuss mobility (cf. Sennett). The readings on this list all address issues surrounding mobility and the urban and should provide a good grounding for my dissertation work Adams, P. (2005).

Mobile Technologies This section includes readings on a number of different mobile technologies. The main focus is on mobile and location-aware technologies, such as mobile phones and mobile auditory media. I include some foundational readings on mobile auditory media, including work from Bull, Du Gay et al., and Chambers. Another part of this list consists of foundational work on mobile phones, such as Ling, Katz & Aakhus, Goggins, and Castells et al. My ultimate focus, however, is on location-aware smart phones, so I have supplemented traditional readings on mobile phones with work that deals specifically with internet-enabled mobile devices. These readings include work done on locative media art (cf. Tuters & Varnelis, Hemment, readings on Urban Tapestries, Galloway), and readings on location-based games and location-based services. I also include a few readings on ubiquitous and pervasive computing, which are part of the larger technological paradigm that shapes the development of location-based services. By combining traditional readings on earlier mobile media with newer readings on ubiquitous computing and location-aware mobile devices, I will be able to develop a fuller understanding of personal mobile media use.

Philosophies of Technology: A focus on Activity Theory and Actor-Network Theory The final section of my reading list examines different approaches to the study of technology. I include some foundational critical approaches to technology, including Feenburg‟s work, Winner‟s work, and two pieces by Heidegger. I supplement these with other major pieces on technology, including Borgman‟s device paradigm and Friedburg‟s Virtual Window. I do not want to only focus on broad philosophical approaches to technology, so I narrowed down the rest of the list by focusing on two distinct approaches to understanding the role technology plays in everyday life: Activity Theory and Actor-Network Theory. I have included foundational readings that address both those topics, and I hope to use these different approaches to technology to further my dissertation. Some of these readings trace back to the foundations of Activity theory, which includes early a few readings in early Soviet psychology. This section will provide the theoretical base from which I can build an understanding of the role technology plays in society. The two approaches do
