Even if COVID-19 now represents less of a health risk, and less disruption to our personal lives, we know this won’t be the last pandemic. Preparing for the next pandemic includes understanding the past and planning for the future. It includes rethinking “normal” ways of interacting with others, our technologies, and the spaces in which we live. In this introduction, we show how the pandemic has challenged the role of mobile communication in our everyday lives, making us rethink the very meaning of mobile communication—from simply communicating while on the move, to a networked resource that supports emotional and personal connections. During the pandemic, mobile communication practices and the development of new mobile technologies, such as contact-tracing apps and mobile mapping, was strongly tied to the infrastructural politics that took place through government and private companies’ interventions. In addition, mobile technologies became a primary source of support for those who became immobile, or were forced to move. However, mobile communication is not only enabled by end devices; it happens at the intersection of both end devices and the infrastructures that enable them to work. The articles in this special issue reflect some of these themes, and address how the pandemic has shaped and rearranged our mobile communication, sociability, and networked urban mobility practices around the world. Although each article engages with the challenges of the pandemic in its unique and original way, in this introduction we highlight some overlapping topics and methodologies that run across multiple articles, namely historical perspectives on the pandemic, urban and transnational networked mobilities, the use of mobile apps and interfaces for community and self-care, pandemic context in the Global South, and networks and infrastructures. }, number={2}, journal={Mobile Media & Communication}, author={Silva, A. and Xiong-Gum, M.N.}, year={2023}, month={May}, pages={140–155} }

Since the release of the iPhone 3G and the App Store in 2008, the number of mobile games has increased substantially, reflecting what Mäyrä (2015) refers to as a growing and increasingly complex genre. Nevertheless, mobile games are not new; they have been around since at least the 1970s, serving as ground-building components of today’s mobile, ludic and digital cultures. Despite their significance, early mobile games pose challenges to research. The earliest mobile gaming platforms, such asl Mattel Football and Nintendo Game & Watch, were handheld electronic consoles. Although many of these games were popular at their time of inception, they are often no longer on the market, making them difficult or expensive to acquire. By the 1990s, mobile phones also became important platforms for mobile gameplay –with games, such as Tetris and Snake, being redesigned for mobile phones. However, these games became unplayable with the release of new operating systems, and, similar to handheld consoles, these mobile phones can be difficult and expensive to acquire. Finally, in the early 2000s, several media artists, startup companies, and academic researchers started to experiment with mobile devices, such as mobile phones and personal digital assistants, as interfaces for gameplay (Flintham et al., 2001; Sotamaa, 2002; Wagenknecht & Korn, 2016). However, these early games were often unavailable to the general public because they were restricted to small research or artistic circles. In addition, since the nature of these games was generally ephemeral (i.e., they were played during a specific timeframe in a specific location and then disappeared), it is difficult to find documentation or historical accounts about them, unless a researcher knows specifically how to search for them with exact titles, keywords and creators. Collectively, these challenges limit our knowledge about the history of mobile games and make it difficult to identify correlations between contemporary and early mobile gaming cultures.

More than just combining physical and digital spaces, hybrid spaces, I argued, were created by the ongoing and emerging networked relationships between people, spaces, and mobile technologies. I defined hybrid spaces as “mobile spaces, created by the constant movement of users who carry portable devices continuously connected to the Internet and to other users” (de Souza e Silva, 2006, p. 262). By walking around connected to the Internet (and consequently to other geolocated users) we could experience both digital and physical spaces simultaneously, and for this reason, it was pointless to address physical and digital as two (often disconnected) spaces. For the past decade and a half, the range of mobile communication technologies we interact with on an everyday basis has only acquired complexity. To keep up with the fast-changing technological landscape, terms such as Internet of Things (Ashton, 2009), Net Locality (Gordon & de Souza e Silva, 2011), code/space (Kitchin & Dodge, 2011), and Networked Urban Mobilities (Freudendal-Pedersen & Kesselring, 2017) have been used to describe a sociotechnical context in which people and digital technologies are increasingly interconnected. The wide range of new mobile technologies and concepts used to describe our relationships with them may bring up questions about the usefulness and validity of hybrid spaces today. In this article, I want to suggest that we still very much live in hybrid spaces.

In this assemblage (Watson et al., 2021), how we think about mobility, placemaking, public space, health, and play has been reconfigured (Hjorth & Lammes, 2020). Mobile games have a long history with regard to their ability to activate public spaces, creating feelings of connection and resilience in playful and inventive ways. In pandemic times, the ambient play of mobile games, that is, moving in and out of the background to the rhythm of everyday life, has taken on new currencies (Hjorth & Richardson, 2020). This short provocation piece explores how location-based mobile games can play a powerful role in how we reimagine, activate, and reinhabit urban spaces and placemaking as we move out of the pandemic. As we argue, games can address some of the challenges advanced by the pandemic in relation to public health messaging, crisis management, and making playful ways to connect together for a better new normal. In the United States, overall videogame internet traffic increased by 75% when COVID-19 restrictions were imposed (M.B., 2020). As the heightened threat of viral contagion gripped the popular imaginary, the debates about screen time, and especially games, shifted.

Among its largest urban centers, Rio de Janeiro has witnessed in the last ten years the considerable diffusion and adoption of apps focused on helping people navigate its complex and sometimes chaotic urban space. Increasingly, location-based apps are being used to manage urban mobility, or as we put it, as interfaces to networked urban mobility. As such, location awareness is progressively integrated into transportation networks, including cars, airports, and shared vehicles. From location-based taxi hailing apps like 99taxi, to crowdsourcing traffic apps like Waze, these apps are promoted as supporting more efficient and sustainable ways of navigating the city. In particular, micromobility apps, such as the ones used to rent bikes and scooters, promise to support a cleaner and greener way of moving around. However, as smartphone ownership increases in the Global South, so do mobility issues in the world’s megacities. Rio de Janeiro, for example, has the third worst traffic jams in the world – just behind Mexico City and Istanbul. This scenario begs the question: what does sustainable networked urban mobility mean in large Global South metropolises (such as Rio de Janeiro) with the growing use of location-based transportation apps? In this chapter, we review how micro-mobility location-based apps are integrated with forms of urban mobility in Rio de Janeiro. We discuss how these apps may (or may not) support sustainable urban mobility in Global South regions by focusing on key issues of security, physical accessibility, and economic status. We conclude by connecting the analysis with a discussion of creative appropriation of technologies in situations of hardship.}, journal={The Routledge Companion to Media and the City}, publisher={Routledge}, author={de Souza e Silva, Adriana and Glover-Rijkse, Ragan}, year={2022}, month={Jun}, pages={354–363} }

Yet, most of the literature on location-based mobile games overlooks the specific materialities that influence gameplay in Global South cities. These are worth considering, given that Pokémon Go requires players to move through their environment with access to both a mobile smartphone and network connection. These prerequisites pose challenges to players because in some Global South cities players experience difficult mobilities, precarious access to technologies, and inconsistent networked connections. To explore these issues, we offer a qualitative study about Pokémon Go gameplay in two large Global South cities: Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) and Nairobi (Kenya). We have chosen these two cities because of their similar social, infrastructural, and economic inequalities. Based on interviews with Pokémon Go players, we explore how these inequalities shape the interconnections between location-based gameplay, mobile phone use, and urban mobilities. We found out that players often contend with urban challenges by adopting a number of practices, unique to their local context, to successfully play the game. These practices include collaborating and caring for others during and outside gameplay and adjusting their mobilities to preserve networked connections. Our study contributes an understanding of how players, in these cities, respond to their material circumstances in order to play the game and care for each other.

With this in mind, we interviewed Pokémon Go players in two Global South cities, Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) and Nairobi (Kenya), to understand how players navigate urban spaces not only based on gameplay but with broader concerns for safety. Our findings reveal that players negotiate their urban mobilities based on perceptions of risk and safety, choosing how to move around and avoiding areas known for violence and theft.

Location-based apps not only assist individuals in more efficient movement through urban spaces but also impact the way individuals experience the city. More recently, location-based taxi-hailing apps are also a part of ongoing transformations in urban mobility. These apps are increasingly popular in the United States, and this trend is spreading to countries outside the Global North. While taxi-hailing apps have been studied in the context of infrastructure and planning, law, and regulations, little scholarship exists on the daily uses of these apps and how they are embedded within a context of ongoing surveillance, politics of mobility, and digital literacy. This chapter examines the impact of location-based ride-hailing applications on daily urban mobility in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, one of the largest cities in the Global South. Through a qualitative study including taxi drivers and passengers who use location-based taxi-hailing apps, we investigate how a group of passengers and drivers in Rio de Janeiro integrates ride-hailing apps into their daily routines and how these apps influence mobility within the city. The findings suggest that while location-based services have normally been seen as a threat to privacy, in this group’s case they are a source of security. Furthermore, while taxi-hailing apps were overwhelmingly perceived by the participants as adding convenience to their daily lives, they are still embedded into a politics of mobility, invisibility, surveillance, data collection, and control that is often invisible to passengers and drivers alike.}, journal={The Oxford Handbook of Mobile Communication and Society}, publisher={Oxford University Press}, author={de Souza e Silva, Adriana and Damasceno, Cristiane S. and de Cunto Bueno, Daniela and Grandinetti, Justin}, editor={Ling, Rich and Fortunati, Leopoldina and Goggin, Gerard and Lim, Sun Sun and Li, YulingEditors}, year={2020}, month={Apr}, pages={486–500} }

With an increasingly pervasive IT infrastructure and comparatively affordable mobile devices, such games are becoming part of everyday play around the world. A study of an urban night-game called Encounter widely played in the Former Soviet Union and the Russian-speaking Diaspora is presented. The ways in which IT enables a complex interaction between the local experience of play in the urban environment and the geographically distributed nature of the player community are considered. The findings illustrate how this form of location-aware mobile game-play pulled together local engagement and global player communities into socio-technical assemblages, showing the interplay between local attachments, distant connections and the location-based communication in daily experience. The most important outcome of these games then was not the direct individual engagement with the urban environment through technology or the collaboration with strangers in the course of play (although these were the necessary prerequisites), but the social relationships that, while gained in-game, could be leveraged for civic engagement, belonging and mutual support. While the local, physical experience of the everyday and the game was important, the connections to the distributed community resulted in expanded horizons and changed the nature of the local experience as players felt they could belong to something larger than the locales they physically inhabited.}, number={3}, journal={INFORMATION COMMUNICATION & SOCIETY}, publisher={Informa UK Limited}, author={Shklovski, Irina and de Souza e Silva, Adriana}, year={2013}, month={Apr}, pages={340–361} }

La Privacidad de la Locacion en los Espacios Publicos:



Los Discursos de los Medios sobre las Tecnologias Moviles de Deteccion de la Locacion



Adriana de Souza e Silva & Jordan Frith



Department of Communication, North Carolina State University, Raleigh, NC, USA



Resumen



Este articulo analiza 4 meses de los articulos populares de la prensa de las mayores publicaciones sobre la deteccion de la locacion de los telefonos moviles. Nuestros resultados identificaron 2 areas principales: el control que estos aparatos ofrecen sobre los espacios publicos y la falta de control que los usuarios tienen sobre la informacion de su locacion. Esta falta de control es a menudo encuadrada como una falta de privacidad. Arguimos que la habilidad de controlar y personalizar los espacios publicos no es algo nuevo porque previos tipos de medios portables ya permitieron a sus usuarios manejar las interacciones con los espacios publicos. No obstante, los asuntos de privacidad y control sobre los espacios publicos son mas pronunciados con las tecnologias de deteccion de locacion. Nuestras conclusiones sugieren que los discursos de la prensa popular a menudo no dejan ver los asuntos sociales mas complejos relacionados con la privacidad en los espacios publicos.







L’intimite de localisation dans les espaces publics : discours mediatiques sur les technologies mobiles informees de notre localisation

Cet article analyse quatre mois d’articles tires de la presse populaire, dans des publications importantes, portant sur les telephones mobiles informes de la localisation de leurs utilisateurs. Nos resultats identifient deux themes principaux : le controle qu’offrent ces appareil sur les espaces publics et le manque de controle des usagers quant a ces informations de localisation. Ce manque de controle est souvent cadre comme etant une absence de vie privee et d’intimite. Nous soutenons que la capacitea controler et a personnaliser les espaces publics n’est pas nouvelle, puisque des types precedents de medias portatifs permettaient deja aux usagers de gerer leurs interactions avec les espaces publics. Cependant, les enjeux de vie privee et de controle sur les espaces publics sont plus marques avec ces technologies informees de la localisation de leurs usagers. Nos conclusions indiquent que les discours dans la presse populaire negligent souvent des enjeux plus complexes lies a la vie privee dans les espaces publics.



Lokale Privatheit im offentlichen Raum: Mediendiskurse uber Mobiltechnologien mit Geolokation-Funktion



Adriana de Souza e Silva & Jordan Frith



Uber einen Zeitraum von vier Monaten analysiert dieser Artikel beliebte Presseartikel bekannter Publikationen zum Thema Mobiltelefone mit Geolokation-Funktion. Unsere Analyse zeigt zwei Hauptergebnisfelder: Zum einen die Kontrolle, die solche Gerate uber den offentlichen Raum bieten, und zum anderen die fehlende Kontrolle, die Nutzer uber ihre Lageinformationen haben. Diese fehlende Kontrolle wird oft als fehlende Privatheit diskutiert.



Wir argumentieren, dass die Fahigkeit den offentlichen Raum zu kontrollieren und zu personalisieren nicht neu ist, da auch Vorgangermodelle tragbarer Medien dem Nutzer die Moglichkeit geboten haben, die Interaktionen mit offentlichen Raumen zu managen. Dennoch sind Aspekte von Privatheit und Kontrolle bei Technologien mit Geolokation pravalenter. Wir kommen also zu dem Schluss, dass der aktuelle Pressediskurs die komplexeren sozialen Aspekte zum Thema Privatheit in offentlichen Raumen oft nur unzureichend betrachtet.}, number={4}, journal={Communication, Culture & Critique}, publisher={Oxford University Press (OUP)}, author={de Souza e Silva, A. and Frith, J.}, year={2010}, pages={503–525} }

The authors present a classification of the major types of mobile games to date, addressing how they reenact this older meaning of play apparent within these former tropes of urbanity.

Among such activities are location-based mobile games (LBMGs), which use urban spaces as the game scenario. This article is a case study of Alien Revolt (2005-2007), the first Brazilian LBMG, released in 2005 by the company Mind Corporation and the operator Oi in Rio de Janeiro. The game uses Java-enabled cell phones equipped with location awareness to transform the city into a battlefield. Following much of the Swedish game Botfighters' (2001-2005) idea, the first LBMG, Alien Revolt's goal involves virtually shooting other players within a specific radius in the city space. Alien Revolt exemplifies how cell phones strengthen users' connections to physical space, because they are used as collective communication devices, rather than personal private technologies. Moreover, when used for location-based activities, the cell phone plays the role of a location aware technology, rather than a mobile telephone used for two-way voice communication.}, number={1}, journal={IEEE TECHNOLOGY AND SOCIETY MAGAZINE}, publisher={Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE)}, author={de Souza e Silva, Adriana}, year={2008}, pages={18–28} }

This essay analyzes and compares two HRGs: I Like Frank and Day of the Figurines. The goal is to understand games and play as activities intrinsically and inseparably connected to our physical spaces and to our daily lives by focusing on the interconnection between play and ordinary life, game community, and player identity. The essay also interrogates how these games reconfigure and reflect current concepts of surveillance, community and anonymity in city spaces. The development of these concepts expands current research about how new Internet-connected mobile communication technologies change our experience of physical spaces by adding to them imaginary playful layers that influence player mobility through the city and promote singular types of interactions among physical, digital and represented spaces. Our analysis considers the intertwined and complex consequences of HRGs and other locative media, illustrating how such media can both normalize and provide modes of resistance to certain power relationships.}, number={5}, journal={CRITICAL STUDIES IN MEDIA COMMUNICATION}, publisher={Informa UK Limited}, author={de Souza e Silva, Adriana and Sutko, Daniel M.}, year={2008}, pages={447–465} }

Worldwide cell phones have largely surpassed the number of PCs,1 and appear to be surpassing the popularity of TV sets (Rice & Katz, 2003, p. 598). However, it is not possible to define a monolithic global cell phone culture. The mobile interface is used significantly differently in distinct parts of the world, depending on cultural, social, and economic local specificities. Even within specific countries and regions, there are substantial differences in the use of technology as a result of many factors, including age, culture, socioeconomic distribution, and instruction level. The use we make of technology does not depend solely on the technology per se, but is intrinsically connected to how the technology is culturally embedded in social practices. This paper is an early exploration of the reasons for the exponential growth and social uses of mobile technologies in Brazil, a developing country, with wideranging social and economic diversity. This study aims at contextualizing three research questions to the Brazilian situation: (1) How do low income communities appropriate technology in unusual ways based on price policies and technology availability? (2) To what degree does the increasingly pervasiveness of cell phones transform them into social collective technologies? (3) How the initial idea of the digital divide should be redefined when cell phones replace not only landlines, but also personal computers? With the goal of answering the above-mentioned questions, this article is structured in two main parts. The first two questions are addressed with a comparison between low income2 and high income population3 use of cell phones in Brazil. It looks at how cell phone usage is shaped by the availability of technology, focusing on two factors that promoted cell phone growth in the country: poor landline infrastructure and the emergence of pre-paid phones.

Mobile interfaces such as cell phones allow users to be constantly connected to the Internet while walking through urban spaces. This article defines hybrid spaces in the light of three major shifts in the interaction between mobile technology and spaces. First, it investigates how the use of mobile technologies as connection interfaces blurs the traditional borders between physical and digital spaces. Second, it argues that the shift from static to mobile interfaces brings social networks into physical spaces. Finally, it explores how urban spaces are reconfigured when they become hybrid spaces. For this purpose, hybrid spaces are conceptualized according to three distinct but overlapping trends: hybrid spaces as connected spaces, as mobile spaces, and as social spaces.}, number={3}, journal={Space and Culture}, publisher={SAGE Publications}, author={de Souza e Silva, A.}, year={2006}, pages={261–278} }

The concept of virtual space is analysed from the perspective of arts and science fiction.
 The first section shows how the concept of virtual space as a mindspace has been developed. The idea of cyberspace as a place for the mind emphasizes the traditional Cartesian doubt, that is, does the mental image correspond to the real? In the second section, the paper argues that
 the concept of virtual changes, since it can no longer be considered a disjoint from physical space; rather, it belongs to it. Finally, the movies The Thirteenth Floor (Rusnak 1999) and The Matrix (Wachowski and Wachowski 1999) are case studies that illustrate how the idea of
 inhabiting a virtual space has changed from the traditional notion of virtual space as a place for the mind to a hybrid space that is part of our lives. As a result, it amplifies the notion of what the real can be.}, number={3}, journal={Technoetic Arts}, author={de Souza e Silva, A.}, year={2004}, pages={209–221} }
