Mobile Media and Communication Practices in Southeast Asia Department of Media and Communications Goldsmiths, University of London 30 May 2017 13.00 - 18.00 PSH: 305 An inter-disciplinary workshop focused on ethnographic approaches to mobile media and communication practices in Southeast Asia. The workshop aims to explore the value of situating locally and/or nationally contextualised research on mobile technologies and practices of social interaction, communication, coordination, consumption, repair and use within a broader regional framework. The workshop proposes at the outset that a regional framing brings two distinct advantages. Firstly, it alerts us to the fact that mobile media and communication practices need to be understood in relation to deep interconnections across nation-state borders, as manifested in the trajectories and cultural/economic ties of millions of migrants within the region, and in the development of more or less ‘neoliberalised’ telecommunication infrastructures. Secondly, the region provides a valuable analytic frame for comparison that encourages critical perspectives to emerge from an exploration of convergent and divergent practices.
