Experience of these media, in turn, are always grounded in the places and spaces of human life.This book is a peerless guide to the complex worlds of media geography that result. Bringing together a wonderful array of the best writings and authors in this crucial and fast-growing field, the authors have produced an incisive and elegant book which explores - in sites from malls to skyscrapers, homes to haunted houses - how material space and mediated world intersect to produce the geographies of today's world.’ Stephen Graham, Newcastle University, UK ’This is an excellent volume with both new and well-recognized voices. The editors have assembled state-of-the-art reflections that extend from traditional to novel objects of analysis. Together the contributions help us understand the best insights of the field’s representational turn while simultaneously opening up a space for a Media Geography that is material, corporeal, and even non-representational.’ John Paul Jones III, University of Arizona, USA ' ... this companion highlights relatively new phenomena, such as space and video games, places of graffiti, and telemediated sociability, or what we know as social Media ... In terms of methodology, arguments, and agenda, The Ashgate Research Companion to Media Geography is substantial and meaningful'. LSE Review of Books 'There are a host of useful transatlantic examples as well as intriguing theoretical constructs--enough to both tell us where the field is, and where it may be going next. All told, this is a fascinating and mind-stretching collection and I have only hinted at what lies within.'
