Not only is locative media one of the fastest growing areas in digital technology, but questions of location and location-awareness are increasingly central to our contemporary engagements with online and mobile media, and indeed media and culture generally. This volume is a comprehensive account of the various location-based technologies, services, applications, and cultures, as media, with an aim to identify, inventory, explore, and critique their cultural, economic, political, social, and policy dimensions internationally. In particular, the collection is organized around the perception that the growth of locative media gives rise to a number of crucial questions concerning the areas of culture, economy, and policy.

"Wilken and Goggin’s edited collection is a valuable addition to the literature on locative media. By combining an international perspective with a wide range of topics, this book helps further our understanding of the potential impacts of these new technologies. One of the true strengths of this book is how it combines cultural, political, and economic areas of focus, and it will be a valuable resource for anyone studying the emergence of new mobile technologies." -- Jordan Frith, North Carolina State University, USA
