richard-seyler.ling@telenor.com 13/01/2005 1:26:57 am >>> Her are a couple of things you might want to look at. First there are a couple of books that are article collections:
Katz, J. E. and Aakhus, M. 2002. "Perpetual contact: Mobile communication, private talk, public performance." Cambridge: Cambridge University Press. Fortunati, L., et al. 2003. "Mediating the human body: Technology, Communication and Fashion." London: Lawrence Erlbaum. There is also the book Machines that become us edited by Katz I have a book out: Ling, R. 2004. The Mobile Connection: The cell phone's impact on society. San Francisco: Morgan Kaufmann. Leslie Haddon has just come out with a more general book on ICTs in everyday life Haddon, L. 2004 Information and Communication Technologies in Everyday Life : A Concise Introduction and Research Guide There are some Finnish books on design. I don't have their titles right here but Ilpo Koskinen at the University of art and design, Helsinki is a good place to start there. Also Nalini Kotamraju at Berkeley has done a wonderful service by collecting much of the literature in the area into a Mobile Phone/SMS/Instant Messaging Research bibliography. You can see that at: http://socrates.berkeley.edu/~nalinik/mobile.html Let me know if this helps. I would be interested to hear about your research proposal.

richard-seyler.ling@telenor.com 01/12/05 4:16 PM >>> Hi,
There is a lot of work going on in relation to mobile telephony. I know that the Blackberry is somewhat different in terms of technology and the way that it is used. However, there is a growing literature on mobile communications and the social consequences of that. There is also a pretty good design literature in that area. A lot of this literature is based on qualitative analyses. There is also a pretty good number of quantitative analyses in this area. Let me know if you are interested in this type of literature.

This wil be a multi-dimensional project, involving research into the the development of the Blackberry, the insitutional culture of production at Research in Motion (based here in Waterloo, Ontario--how is that for convenience), advertising and marketing strategies, intellectual property issues,, and ethnographies of the Blackberry in everyday life. What I have mind is a comprehensive cultural analysis of the Blackberry like Paul Du Gay and his collaboraties did for the Walkman in the DOING CULTURAL STUDIES series. So, I have two requests for the AOIR commmunity: 1)I would appreciate any references concerning the topic of Internet mobility generally and the Blackberry and/or other hand-held device more specifically. 2)Depending on how fruitful the initial research is, I would be interested in partnering with other scholars interested in this topic with eye towards submitting a MCRI (Major Collborative Research Grant) to the Social Science and Humanities Reserach Council here in Canada. The SSHRC encourages international collaboration, but the majority of co-applicants must be affiliated with Canadian institutions. Let me know if you are interested, especially if you are north of the 49th parallel. Thanks in advance for your assistance and interest. Andrew Herman Andrew Herman, Ph. D.
