"This book offers a unique model for understanding the cognitive underpinnings, interactions and discursive effects of our evolving use of smartphones in everyday app-mediated communication, from text messages and gifs to images, video and social media apps. Adopting a cyberpragmatics framework, grounded in cognitive pragmatics and relevance theory, it gives attention to how both the particular interfaces of different apps and users' personal attributes influence the contexts and uses of smartphone communication. The communication of emotions - in addition to primarily linguistic content - is foregrounded as an essential element of the kinds of ever-present paralinguistic and phatic communication that characterizes our exchange of memes, gifs, "likes", and image- and video-based content. Insights from related disciplines such as media studies and sociology are incorporated as the author unpacks the timeliest questions of our digitally mediated age. Aimed primarily at scholars and graduate students of communication, linguistics, pragmatics, media studies and sociology of mass media, Smartphone Communication traffics in topics that will likewise engage upper-level undergraduate students"--

Mobile phone, PC, AV player, radio, web browser - a diverse range of media content and platforms converge in the smartphone. The basis for this is inevitably formed by media technological forms of production. Then there are the design implications - such as the user interface design or interactive apps - which produce their visual appearance through their interaction with the upstream, 'invisible' technology. The aesthetics of smartphones themselves, however - understood as the possibility of their perception as media - has so far not been examined. The volume takes on this desideratum from a transdisciplinary perspective for the first time

Das Smartphone hat das Leben von vier Milliarden Menschen auf dieser Erde in den letzten zehn Jahren massiv verändert. Viele sehen die positiven Seiten, wenige machen sich Gedanken um die negativen Auswirkungen für unser Denken, Fühlen und Handeln, unsere Gesundheit und unsere Gesellschaft. Es wird höchste Zeit, dem Hype durch Fakten zu begegnen. Über die gesundheitlichen Folgen machen sich mittlerweile sogar Investoren und Unternehmer Gedanken. Der Chef von Apple empfiehlt, Smartphones nicht in Schulen zu verwenden, der französische Präsident verbietet sie dort ganz und Süd-Korea hat seit Jahren Gesetze zum Schutz der Jugend vor den schlimmsten Folgen der Handynutzung.

The smartphone is often literally right in front of our nose, so you would think we would know what it is. But do we? To find out, 11 anthropologists each spent 16 months living in communities in Africa, Asia, Europe and South America, focusing on the take up of smartphones by older people. Their research reveals that smartphones are technology for everyone, not just for the young. The Global Smartphone presents a series of original perspectives deriving from this global and comparative research project. Smartphones have become as much a place within which we live as a device we use to provide 'perpetual opportunism', as they are always with us. The authors show how the smartphone is more than an 'app device' and explore differences between what people say about smartphones and how they use them. The smartphone is unprecedented in the degree to which we can transform it. As a result, it quickly assimilates personal values. In order to comprehend it, we must take into consideration a range of national and cultural nuances, such as visual communication in China and Japan, mobile money in Cameroon and Uganda, and access to health information in Chile and Ireland – all alongside diverse trajectories of ageing in Al Quds, Brazil and Italy. Only then can we know what a smartphone is and understand its consequences for people's lives around the world.

Wünschen Sie sich auch manchmal ein Telefon mit Wählscheibe zurück? Leider kommen Sie um ein Smartphone nicht herum. Und so teilt sich die bildschirmgebeugte Bevölkerung nicht länger in Männlein oder Weiblein, sondern Smartphone-Nutzer und Smartphone-Halter. Die einen dealen an der Online-Börse, laden YouTube-Videos hoch oder snapchatten mit Pamela Reif, die anderen suchen verzweifelt nach der Tastatur, mit der sie telefonieren können. Mit viel Humor und grosser Gelassenheit erzählt Christian Klein von Sinn und Unsinn des Smartphones in unserer Gesellschaft - und warum früher trotzdem nicht alles besser war. (Verlag)
