Mediengeographie

The Internet of Things, big data, action cams, drone technology, mobile GIS and Sensored Life. Our everyday lives and academic discourse are being increasingly swept along by geodata. This handbook, entitled “Mediengeographie” (Technology and Geography), provides a comprehensive overview of current research questions which have arisen in the area where geography and technology overlap, such as imagined geographical ideas and data visualisation created with the help of old and new technology.
This research handbook presents works which are central to the academic debate on spatial technology and multimedia spaces and which have been translated into German. Moreover, it documents the current state of research into technological geography. On the one hand, this encompasses the geography of art as well as that of literature, film, computer games and the Internet etc. On the other hand, it takes into account the various spatial technologies related to culture and sociology which define the discourses on the geography of anthropology, traffic, knowledge and of time, not to mention non-representational and visual geography.
This book will appeal to advanced students of and experts in cultural studies, media studies, social sciences and technical sciences who are interested in spatial dimensions.
