Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article introduces the special issue "Gentrification and the right to the geomedia city." The aim of the special issue is to make up for the lack of research on how gentrification is shaped and underpinned by the normalization of various media platforms that currently define urban life-and what these media mean to the resistance to gentrification. Building on the seven contributions that make up the special issue, this article introduces the concept of the geomedia city as a discriminatory regime of dwelling. The geomedia city refers not only to the digital infrastructures built into urban environments-circulating and embedding data-but more crucially to the social and cultural dynamics whereby certain norms, skills, and forms of capital (and thus people) are legitimized (or marginalized) in the city. As such, geomedia constitutes a territorializing force that lubricates urban displacement processes by defining who has the right to belong where.

- Copyright © 2019 American Chemical Society. The accumulation of plastic litter in natural environments is a global issue. Concerns over potential negative impacts on the economy, wildlife, and human health provide strong incentives for improving the sustainable use of plastics. Despite the many voices raised on the issue, we lack a consensus on how to define and categorize plastic debris. This is evident for microplastics, where inconsistent size classes are used and where the materials to be included are under debate. While this is inherent in an emerging research field, an ambiguous terminology results in confusion and miscommunication that may compromise progress in research and mitigation measures. Therefore, we need to be explicit on what exactly we consider plastic debris. Thus, we critically discuss the advantages and disadvantages of a unified terminology, propose a definition and categorization framework, and highlight areas of uncertainty. Going beyond size classes, our framework includes physicochemical properties (polymer composition, solid state, solubility) as defining criteria and size, shape, color, and origin as classifiers for categorization. Acknowledging the rapid evolution of our knowledge on plastic pollution, our framework will promote consensus building within the scientific and regulatory community based on a solid scientific foundation.

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This introduction presents an overview of the key concepts discussed in the subsequent chapters of this book. The book focuses on a collective of international scholars who are researching at the intersections of media, mobility and sociality. It explores the divergent vantage points of the interplay between mobilities and socialities, analysing material conditions, situated contexts and the ascribed meanings to people’s movements, their media practices and social relations. The book argues that mobile socialities is not only concerned with connections across media, mobility and sociality, but also with the contrary reality of material and imaginary worlds. It explores how the concept is used to question earlier works, and addresses a core theme of the individual and their digital networks in previous research. The book addresses the question of breathing - both metaphorically as well as in real terms: without lungs that move, nothing else counts.

Transported Immobility

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this chapter I take Barthes’ concept of transported immobility and allow it to travel from the dining car of a French train to the forests of Sweden and to my own experience of living in a digital media blackout zone. In ‘Dining Car’, Barthes’ reflects on the contrary experience of eating an elaborate meal in an upscale restaurant carriage. This entire mise-en-scene Barthes’ describes as a ‘mirage of solidity’ (1979: 143); the thirteen waves in the dining car experience ‘conceal by a protocol of attention its very contingency’ (1979: 141). For Barthes, the protocol of attention surrounding the elaborate dining car experience is a mythic substitute, a ‘spectacle of stability’ (1979: 144). We can extend this idea of transported immobility from its original story of the dining car to other kinds of contrary experiences. Here, the mix of mobility and immobility is suggestive of how movement and transportation are accompanied by constraints on mobility. It is also suggestive of how objects and embodied experiences are also connected to subjectivities, stories and myths. What Barthes describes in the idea of transported immobility is how some experiences have a contrary mixture of freedom and constraint, of spectacle and mundane reality. In this work I describe the nine waves of the nature hotspot experience, where I am tethered to a particular indoor and outdoor place and dependent on intermittent digital media connection. Such tethering fixes me to a particular place in the rural forest that enables WiFi, provides access and a flow of communication in that moment of connection, and is a source of frustration as rural infrastructures and inclement weather routinely affect the experience, a non-normative experience of media breakdown and repair that challenges our assumptions of living in a digital society.
