Die Digitalisierung der Fotografie und des Films in den 1990er-Jahren war ein Paradigmenwechsel in Funktion, Produktion und Kamerapraxis. Chemische Entwicklungslabore waren obsolet geworden, das Warten hatte ein Ende - die visuellen Produkte waren umgehend verfügbar. Und dennoch - das Fotografieren mit einem eigens dafür notwendigen Apparat blieb besonderen Gelegenheiten vorbehalten oder war zumindest anlassbezogen. Doch dann kam das Smartphone. Seine Popularisierung bedeutet einen massiven Umbruch für die Welt der Bilder - eine Revolution, die Alltag und Freizeit, unsere visuellen Praxen, aber auch viele Berufsfelder elementar verändert hat und noch verändern wird. Nicht mehr nur das Fotografieren an sich, sondern vielmehr das Teilen von und Kommunizieren durch Fotografien in den sozialen Netzwerken bestimmt seither die Lebenswelt vieler Menschen. Die Kommission Fotografie der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Volkskunde widmete sich mit ihrem Kooperationspartner, den Staatlichen Museen zu Berlin, im Rahmen der Tagung "SnAppShots. Smartphones als Kamera" im Oktober 2020 diesem Paradigmenwechsel. Der Tagungsband vereint Beiträge von Wissenschaftler*innen aus den Fachbereichen Geschichte, Kunstgeschichte, Ethnologie, Empirische Kulturwissenschaft, Europäische Ethnologie, Erziehungswissenschaft, Pädagogik und Medienwissenschaft - ein Kaleidoskop zur visuellen Welt des Smartphones.

"Smartphone Cultures explores emerging questions about the ways in which this mobile technology and its apps have been produced, represented, regulated and incorporated into everyday social practices, as the various authors in this volume each locate their contributions within the circuit of culture model. More specifically, this book engages with issues of production and regulation in the case of the electrical infrastructure supporting smartphones and the development of mobile social gambling apps. It examines issues of consumption through looking at parental practices relating to children's smartphone use, children's experience of the regulation of this technology, both in the home and in school, how they cope with the mass of communications via the smartphone and the nature of their attachment to the device. Other chapters cover the engagement of older people with smartphones, as well as how different cultural norms of sociability have a bearing on how the technology is consumed. The smartphone's implications for other theoretical frameworks is illustrated though examining ramifications for domestication, and the sometimes-limited place of smartphones in certain aspects of life is examined through its role in the practices of reading and writing. Smartphone Cultures presents the latest international research from scholars located in the UK, Europe, the US and Australia and will appeal to scholars and students of media and cultural studies, communication studies and sociologists with interests in technology and social practices."--Provided by publisher

This text provides detailed examination of start-up companies which entered the smartphone industry following the revolution triggered by Apple with its iPhone in 2007. Analytical case studies explore the rationale behind the business models, financing cycles, and factors that helped start-ups sustain their own growth and survival. By studying these companies through the lens of entrepreneurship and competitor analysis, the author investigates not only the opportunities that can arise from technological evolution, but also the uncertainty that has developed surrounding the industry's future. Topics covered include value proposition development, evaluation of the effectiveness of business models, and market competition analysis, unveiling thought-provoking results about this rapidly changing industry.

En un peu plus d'une décennie, le smartphone a envahi le quotidien de centaines de millions de personnes à travers le monde, devenant très rapidement l'objet fétiche de nos sociétés globales et numérisées. Mais au-delà des enjeux économiques, éthiques ou écologiques immenses dont il est l'emblème, quelle place occupe-t-il dans la vie de ses propriétaires et quelles significations ces derniers lui accordent-ils? Sur la base d'une enquête de terrain menée à Genève, Los Angeles et Tokyo, cet ouvrage aborde la dimension proprement anthropologique du smartphone. À travers six objets qui symbolisent autant de facettes de son usage — la laisse, la prothèse, le miroir, la baguette magique, le cocon et la coquille vide —, ce sont toutes les tensions et les ambivalences dont cet appareil est porteur qui, dans ces pages, se font jour. Par cette mise en perspective, Nicolas Nova souligne ainsi le rôle incontournable que le smartphone joue dans la reconfiguration de nos activités ordinaires et dans l'évolution de nos cultures matérielles.

"Psychological concerns around the impact of smartphone use tends to overshadow all other threats and concerns around digital spaces. This chapter critically considers research that has associated smartphone use with negative traits and behavioural outcomes. In contrast to other areas of smartphone research, and while many prominent academics have argued that smartphone data have a great deal to offer as a research tool in psychology, comparatively little research utilises objective smartphone usage data in relation to potential harms (Andrews et al., 2015). For example, the majority of existing research tends to rely on self-report alone when to quantifying 'addictive' behaviour. A frank discussion regarding similar issues of measurement would help the field move forward more quickly, improve its visibility and generate additional impact from Emotional intelligencea policy and practitioner perspective"--

"This book reviews recent studies into smartphones and the news, and argues that the greatest impact on news of the smartphone as a dominant technological artefact is to shift it away from an authoritative, fixed 'first draft of history' to become a fluid, flexible stream of information from which each individual constructs their own meaning. The news has taken on a new life, fragmented by five billion smartphones, disrupting not just an industry but also the consequence of the news in societies worldwide. This book considers how the smartphone has changed the production of journalism through contributions from the general public, the dominance of visual over textual media, the shift towards brevity, the challenges of verification, and the possibilities offered by the multi-skilled mobile journalist, or MoJo. The book looks at the manner in which news is promoted and distributed via smartphones, specifically its place on social media. Finally, it considers how news-on-smartphones fits into consumers' lives, and how their use of the smartphone to access news is impacting back on its production. This is an insightful research text for journalism students and scholars with an interest in digital journalism, new media, and the intersection between technology and communication"--

Sl Se c'è una cosa che abbiamo sempre, letteralmente, sotto il naso, è lo smartphone. Ed è normale credere, dunque, che sappiamo cosa sia. Ma è davvero così? Per scoprirlo, 11 antropologi hanno trascorso 16 mesi in varie comunità in Africa, Asia, Europa e Sud America per osservare il modo in cui gli anziani utilizzano lo smartphone, e la loro ricerca ha rivelato che si tratta di una tecnologia rivolta a tutti, non solo ai giovani. Lo Smartphone Globale presenta i risultati frutto di questo progetto di ricerca comparativa di respiro globale. Gli smartphone sono diventati tanto un luogo in cui viviamo, quanto un dispositivo di 'opportunismo perpetuo' da cui non ci separiamo mai. Gli autori hanno dimostrato che lo smartphone è molto più di un 'contenitore di app', concentrandosi sulle differenze tra ciò che le persone dicono sugli smartphone e il modo in cui li usano. Nessun dispositivo aveva mai raggiunto un tale livello di 'trasformabilità' – trasformabilità che si concretizza nella capacità di assimilare rapidamente i nostri valori personali. Per poterlo comprendere, dunque, dobbiamo tener presente un'ampia gamma di sfumature nazionali e culturali, quali la comunicazione visiva in Cina e Giappone, i trasferimenti di denaro sotto forma di credito telefonico in Camerun e in Uganda, e l'accesso a informazioni mediche in Cina e Irlanda, oltre alle diverse traiettorie della terza età ad Al Quds, in Brasile e in Italia. Solo allora potremo sapere davvero cos'è uno smartphone e capire appieno l'impatto che ha sulla vita delle persone in tutto il mondo.
