The year 2013 marked not only the inaugural issue of Mobile Media & Communication, but also the start of my academic career and the development of my first mobile phone and well-being study (Chan, 2015). Whether it is conceived as “mental health,” “subjective well-being,” “flourishing,” “positive thinking,” “life satisfaction,” or another term, well-being has been the subject of scientific research for more than a century (Rodman & Fry, 2009). The longevity of the literature is understandable because of the accumulative evidence across the decades that high citizen well-being produces a variety of normatively desirable individual and societal benefits. These include increased mortality, health, academic achievement, workforce productivity, and prosocial behaviors (Maccagnan et al., 2018). During my graduate studies, I was especially fascinated by the ongoing academic and societal discourses on the beneficial and deleterious consequences of mobile phones (i.e., Rainie & Wellman, 2012; Turkle, 2011) as well as my own gradual realization that the mobile phone has become so integral to my everyday life. The successive emergence of new communication technologies since the 1990s such as the Internet and social media have stimulated a vast literature on whether they engender or diminish psychological well-being. Research on mobile phones is no exception given that it is one of the fastest-diffusing technologies in the world (Wei, 2013). Indeed, a cursory search of mobile phone and well-being related keywords in Google Scholar exemplifies the growth, which shows few signs of abating (Figure 1).

2013年不仅是《移动媒体与传播》的创刊号,也是我学术生涯的开始,也是我第一次手机与幸福研究的发展(Chan,2015)。无论是被认为是“心理健康”、“主观幸福感”、“蓬勃发展”、“积极思考”、“生活满意度”还是另一个术语,幸福感都是一个多世纪以来科学研究的主题(Rodman&Fry,2009)。文献的寿命是可以理解的,因为几十年来积累的证据表明,公民的高幸福感产生了各种规范上理想的个人和社会利益。其中包括死亡率、健康、学业成绩、劳动生产率和亲社会行为的增加(Maccagnan等人,2018)。在我的研究生学习期间,我特别着迷于学术和社会上关于手机有益和有害后果的持续讨论(即,Rainie&Wellman,2012;Turkle,2011),以及我自己逐渐意识到手机已经成为我日常生活中不可或缺的一部分。自20世纪90年代以来,互联网和社交媒体等新的通信技术的不断出现,激发了大量关于它们是否会产生或减少心理健康的文献。手机研究也不例外,因为它是世界上传播最快的技术之一(Wei,2013)。事实上,在谷歌学者(Google Scholar)中粗略搜索手机和与幸福感相关的关键词就可以证明这一增长,但几乎没有减弱的迹象(图1)。作为两份期刊的作者、审稿人、论文导师和副主编,我还

With the rising popularity of digital reading media, leisure reading is undergoing a transformation process. However, the reasons for readers to adopt e-book reading or to stick to traditional printed books are mainly unknown. Therefore, we explored demographic and motivational differences between print readers, digital readers, and readers using both reading media. We further studied their book-reading practices, like the amount of reading, the preferred genres, the different reading situations, and if there are dedicated reading media for specific genres or situations. Additionally, we explored if digital reading media have changed the reading process or just appeal to a certain type of reader. Therefore, we conducted a survey (n  =  779) of adult book readers about their leisure reading behavior. The results show that print readers, digital readers, and readers using both media differ in age, gender, amount of reading, genre preference, and the situations in which they read. Furthermore, digital reading media especially foster reading on the move.
随着数字阅读媒体的日益普及,休闲阅读正在经历一场转型过程。然而,读者采用电子书阅读或坚持传统印刷书籍的原因主要是未知的。因此,我们探讨了纸质读者、数字读者和使用两种阅读媒体的读者之间的人口统计学和动机差异。我们进一步研究了他们的阅读习惯,如阅读量,偏好的类型,不同的阅读情境,以及是否有针对特定类型或情境的专用阅读媒体。此外,我们还探讨了数字阅读媒体是否改变了阅读过程,或者只是吸引了特定类型的读者。因此,我们对成人读者的休闲阅读行为进行了调查(n = 779)。结果显示,纸质读者、数字读者以及同时使用这两种媒体的读者在年龄、性别、阅读量、类型偏好和阅读情境方面存在差异。此外,数字阅读媒体尤其促进了移动阅读。

The article returns to Maren Hartmann's 2013 concept of mediated mobilism, not only highlighting its current relevance, but also underlining its less convincing aspects. Emphasized is the enduring relevance of coupling mobile media research with questions (and insights) from the mobilities framework. The article's other primary focus is on extending the concept of mediated mobilism to more clearly concentrate on forced (im)mobilities as well as reluctant ones.
本文回归到Maren Hartmann在2013年提出的中介动员主义概念,不仅强调了其当前的相关性,而且强调了其不太令人信服的方面。强调的是将移动媒体研究与来自移动框架的问题(和见解)结合起来的持久相关性。这篇文章的另一个主要焦点是扩展中介流动的概念,更明确地关注强迫(非)流动以及不情愿的流动。

Mobile work, mobility, and mobile devices: Responding to a societal shift 移动工作、移动性和移动设备:应对社会转变

The global community of mobile communication scholars has accomplished much in the past 10 years. We have more precisely defined mobile communication scholarship and began to focus on spatial, temporal, and power dynamics surrounding mobility and mobile devices (e.g., Campbell, 2013; Frith & Özkul, 2019; Stephens, 2018). Our scholarship has led the way by publishing research on diverse types of work and workers around the globe (e.g., construction workers: Pink et al., 2014; janitorial staff: Stephens & Ford, 2016; livestock farmers: Vidal-González & Fernández-Piqueras, 2021). Now, in a world that has recently experienced multiple cascading disasters, including a global pandemic, mobile communication has become even more important, and in the next five years we have new occasions to contribute our theoretical and empirical research. Before the COVID-19 pandemic broke out in the US, 7% of the population were considered full-time mobile workers—worked outside a designated work location—so mobile work is not a new practice (Parker et al., 2020). Scholars in a host of fields have studied telework, virtual work, and the use of mobile technologies in organizations (e.g., Watson-Manheim et al., 2002). What is different is that during 2020, we experienced extreme growth as the percentage of people working outside a formal workplace full time jumped from 7% to 50% (Parker et al., 2020). With that shift came a host of new challenges: parents could not find childcare outside the home, care responsibilities more often fell on women, people were less mobile as travel came to a halt, and many people having to work from home did not have a dedicated place to do their job
在过去的10年里,全球移动通信学者群体取得了很大成就。我们已经更精确地定义了移动通信学术,并开始关注围绕移动和移动设备的空间、时间和功率动态(例如,Campbell,2013;Frith&Özkul,2019;斯蒂芬斯,2018)。我们的奖学金率先发表了关于全球不同类型工作和工人的研究(例如,建筑工人:Pink等人,2014;清洁工:Stephens和Ford,2016;畜牧业农民:Vidal González和Fernández-Piqueras,2021)。现在,在一个最近经历了包括全球疫情在内的多重级联灾难的世界里,移动通信变得更加重要,在未来五年里,我们有新的机会来贡献我们的理论和实证研究。在新冠肺炎疫情在美国爆发之前,7%的人口被认为是全职流动工人——在指定的工作地点以外工作——因此流动工作并不是一种新的做法(Parker et al.,2020)。许多领域的学者研究了远程工作、虚拟工作和移动技术在组织中的使用(例如,Watson-Manheim等人,2002年)。不同的是,在2020年,我们经历了极端的增长,在正式工作场所以外全职工作的人的比例从7%跃升至50%(Parker等人,2020)。随着这种转变,出现了一系列新的挑战:父母无法在家外找到托儿服务,照顾责任更多地落在女性身上,随着旅行的停止,人们的流动性降低,许多不得不在家工作的人没有专门的地方工作

Destination Earth (DE) refers to an initiative by the European Union, launched in 2022, to build and maintain “a highly accurate digital model of Earth to monitor the effects of natural and human activity on our planet, anticipate extreme events and adapt policies to climate-related challenges” (European Space Agency, 2022, n.p.). Compared to the cyberspace widely celebrated as a realm apart, from the 1990s and into the 2000s, DE is a particularly ambitious example of the so-called digital twins (Savage, 2022) that promise to reintegrate online and offline realities in a new category of infrastructure, namely, the emerging Internet of Things (IoT) (Bunz & Meikle, 2018)—which the field of media and communication research has barely begun to address. As I review the schedule of the 2022 Paris meeting of the International Communication Association to prepare for a hybrid online–offline reunion against the background of the COVID-19 pandemic, a search for the text string “internet of things” returns neither session headings nor paper titles—none. The subfield coming together in the pages of Mobile Media & Communication, from the outset, raised shared and foundational questions concerning the definition and delimitation of media, communication, and mobility. What, indeed, is mobile about mobile media and communication (Jensen, 2013)? Ten years on, IoT is reiterating and radicalizing the conceptual and methodological challenges.

Predicting the next decade of mobile communication studies research: More mobile media, fewer mobile phones 预测未来十年的移动通信研究:移动媒体越多,手机就越少

The growth of Mobile Media & Communication (MMC) in the journal’s first decade has been both remarkable and somewhat understandable. On the one hand, the journal—and mobile communication studies (MCS) as a field more generally—have made amazing strides in just 10 years, going from a brand-new journal in 2013 to one of the International Communication Association’s top journals by 2022. On the other hand, the growth is somewhat explainable because mobile phones have now become the dominant form of contemporary communication media. Back whenMMC published its inaugural issue, smartphones were still relatively new (at least in academic research terms) and there was a relatively small number of communication researchers who focused on mobile phone practices. But that is obviously no longer the case. At this point, most media studies research focuses on smartphones because most media are accessed through smartphones. Consequently, while the rise of the smartphone helped MMC and MCS grow, simply studying smartphones has not been what has cemented MCS as an identifiable field of research (Campbell, 2019). Instead, MCS has continued to develop as a field because of the community of researchers and, maybe most importantly, MMC. Without the mobile research community and MMC as a venue to set the tone for the field, we could have easily been swallowed up by more established communication fields. In fact, I suspect that’s exactly what would have happened as smartphones became ubiquitous and smartphone research became far too prevalent to group it all under the MCS label. If all we had tying us together as a research community was “we study mobile phones,” then we would have little reason to exist in 2022 when most communication research is at least tangentially
移动媒体与通信(MMC)在该杂志的第一个十年里的增长既引人注目,也有点可以理解。一方面,该杂志——以及更广泛的移动通信研究(MCS)领域——在短短10年内取得了惊人的进步,从2013年的一本全新期刊到2022年成为国际通信协会的顶级期刊之一。另一方面,这种增长是可以解释的,因为手机现在已经成为当代通信媒体的主导形式。当MMC出版创刊号时,智能手机仍然相对较新(至少在学术研究方面),专注于手机实践的通信研究人员相对较少。但现在显然已经不是这样了。目前,大多数媒体研究都集中在智能手机上,因为大多数媒体都是通过智能手机访问的。因此,尽管智能手机的兴起帮助了MMC和MCS的发展,但仅仅研究智能手机并没有巩固MCS作为一个可识别的研究领域的地位(Campbell,2019)。相反,MCS作为一个领域继续发展,因为研究人员的社区,也许最重要的是MMC。如果没有移动研究社区和MMC作为为该领域定下基调的场所,我们很容易被更成熟的通信领域所吞噬。事实上,我怀疑这正是当智能手机变得无处不在,智能手机研究变得过于普遍,无法将其全部归为MCS标签时会发生的事情。如果我们把我们作为一个研究社区联系在一起的只是“我们研究手机”,那么我们就没有什么理由在2022年存在,因为大多数通信研究都是微不足道的

COVID-19 surveillance in Israeli press: Spatiality, mobility, and control. 以色列媒体对COVID-19的监测:空间性、流动性和控制。

Aya Yadlin, Avi Marciano

In March 2020, Israel passed emergency regulations authorizing its internal security agency to track citizens' mobile phone geolocations in order to tackle the spread of COVID-19. This unprecedented surveillance enterprise attracted extensive media attention and sparked a vigorous public debate regarding technology and democratic values such as privacy, mobility, and control. This article examines press coverage of Israel's surveillance of its citizens during the COVID-19 pandemic by four leading news sites to identify and map the frames that informed their reports. Based on a thematic analysis, our findings point to supportive and critical constructions of mobile phone location-tracking and organize them within two scapes: personal; and international. These attest to the collective imagining of intimacies and public life, respectively. We draw on the case study to articulate mobile phones as devices that reduce movement into manageable mapped information and individuals into controllable data. Mobile phone location-tracking during the COVID-19 pandemic is understood as turning mobility into order and control.

2020年3月,以色列通过了紧急条例,授权其内部安全机构追踪公民的手机位置,以应对COVID-19的传播。这种前所未有的监控企业吸引了媒体的广泛关注,并引发了关于技术和民主价值观(如隐私、移动性和控制)的激烈公众辩论。本文分析了四家主要新闻网站在2019冠状病毒病大流行期间对以色列公民监控的新闻报道,以识别和绘制其报道的框架。基于专题分析,我们的研究结果指出了手机位置跟踪的支持性和批判性结构,并将它们组织在两个场景中:个人;与国际。这些分别证明了对亲密关系和公共生活的集体想象。我们利用案例研究来阐明移动电话作为一种设备,它将运动转化为可管理的映射信息,将个人转化为可控的数据。在新冠肺炎大流行期间,手机位置跟踪被理解为将流动性转化为秩序和控制。

The omnipresence and multifaceted impacts of digital technologies necessitate a great range of methodological and conceptual innovations for the social sciences, opening up a seemingly unlimited reservoir of new research questions. Research exposed , a care-fully curated and edited volume, assembles 12 diverse and interesting chapters with one shared focus: digital media. Some contributions focus on digitalization or social media and their effects as the research topic, others make use of digital methodological innovations in the research process, and some combine both aspects.
数字技术的无所不在和多方面的影响,要求社会科学在方法论和概念上进行大范围的创新,为新的研究问题开辟了一个看似无限的水库。《暴露的研究》是一本精心策划和编辑的书,汇集了12个不同而有趣的章节,其中有一个共同的焦点:数字媒体。一些贡献将数字化或社交媒体及其影响作为研究主题,另一些在研究过程中利用数字方法创新,还有一些将这两个方面结合起来。

Analyzing user reviews of seven US digital contact-tracing apps for COVID-19, this article unpacks how the new form of surveillance technology is understood and experienced by individuals during a global health crisis. The findings suggest that the app users felt empowered via self-tracking capacity and expressed community-level care and concerns, including those regarding the marginalized. At the same time, the users were raising doubts over technical effectiveness, navigating varying levels of voluntary choice available, and negotiating privacy concerns depending on the (dis)trust they held of institutional entities behind the governance of the apps. We argue that it is critical to investigate how surveillance technologies are situated across horizontal and vertical relationships in people's everyday lives to fully understand the individual and societal acceptance and/or refusal of the very systems during crises.

本文分析了七款美国新冠肺炎数字联系人追踪应用程序的用户评论,揭示了在全球健康危机期间,个人如何理解和体验这种新形式的监测技术。研究结果表明,应用程序用户通过自我跟踪能力感到自己被赋予了权力,并表达了社区层面的关心和担忧,包括对边缘化人群的关心和关切。与此同时,用户对技术有效性提出了质疑,浏览了不同程度的自愿选择,并根据他们对应用程序治理背后的机构实体的信任程度就隐私问题进行了协商。我们认为,调查监控技术在人们日常生活中的横向和纵向关系,以充分了解危机期间个人和社会对系统的接受和/或拒绝,这一点至关重要。
