反思人文地理系列

André Jansson, Department of Geography, Media and Communication, Karlstad University, Sweden

Timely and original, Rethinking Communication Geographies explores the human condition under digital capitalism, depicting an environment in which digital logistics have taken centre stage in day-to-day life and culture. The book responds to a pressing need to address questions of human autonomy and security, as well as the social power relations of the platform economy, in a world in which media and space have become increasingly entangled.

‘This book offers a deep and stimulating insight into how geographies of communication are changing with contemporary digital media and data infrastructures, and why we need to rethink questions of geography, media and communication with today's geomediatization.’
– Andreas Hepp, University of Bremen, Germany

‘This book offers an innovative and exciting framework for understanding how the digitally mediated world is increasingly experienced: logistically. Its sustained attention to the entanglement of spatiality and communicative media, as well as to the differentiated possibilities for everyday human agency that then emerge, is particularly insightful and welcome.’
– Gillian Rose, University of Oxford, UK
