Check the current issue: Mobility, of VECTORS; “the web-based academic journal Vectors has explored the possibilities of combining audio-visual interactivity and analytical writings.” (via urban-atmosphere mailing list).

“Each of the projects in this second issue of Vectors in some way serves to remind us of the social and cultural imbrications of technologically-mediated mobility. If the telecommunications and entertainment industries (and countless consumers) are now enthralled with all things mobile, the pieces collected here underscore that mobility is first and foremost a social phenomenon, one with long and troubled histories.” (via Vectors)

“Vectors maps the multiple contours of daily life in an unevenly digital era, crystallizing around themes that highlight the social, political, and cultural stakes of our increasingly technologically-mediated existence. As such, the journal will speak both implicitly and explicitly to key debates across varied disciplines, including issues of globalization, mobility, power, and access. Operating at the intersection of culture, creativity, and technology, the journal focuses on the myriad ways technology shapes, transforms, reconfigures, and/or impedes social relations, both in the past and in the present.” (via Vectors)
