Communications and Mobility is a unique, interdisciplinary look at mobility, territory, communication, and transport in the 21^st century with extended case studies of three icons of this era: the mobile phone, the migrant, and the container box.

Urges scholars in media and communication to return to broader conceptions of the field that include mobility of all kinds—information, people, and commodities
Embraces perspectives from media studies, science and technology studies, sociology, media anthropology, and cultural geography
Discusses ideas of virtual and embodied mobility, network geographies, de-territorialization, sedentarism, nomadology, connectivity, containment, and exclusion
Integrates the often-neglected transport studies into contemporary communication studies and theories of globalization
