Seeking Place In Mediated Urban Space

Mediated cities are difficult social spaces insofar as they keep media technologies and practices in a circuit with matters of urban construction and association, where it is not only difficult but also methodologically unwise to praise them apart. Just like representation circulates the social world by providing it with a framework for meaning, media-related processes are built into the urban. In mediated cities, issues of mediation and space are brought into sharp relief with matters of identity and power, in a dialectical way. One makes the other, and vice-versa, providing us with valuable insights into each of the above four elements through the mesh of mediated urbanity, or its “throwntogetherness.”
