This cutting-edge survey delves into the emerging field of media, communication, cultural studies, mobility studies, and mobile communications, offering a comprehensive exploration of the diverse experiences of individuals concerning media and mobility. The Handbook, compiled by a diverse group of international scholars, provides a thorough overview and valuable insights into a wide range of topics related to the contingent practices and limited resources of people and media on the move. Through empirical and theoretical research, the book showcases how mobile socialities emerge as a generative concept for understanding power, identity, and the contexts of media in public and mediated spaces, workplaces, and everyday life. It addresses a spectrum of mobile socialities and lived politics, unveiling previously hidden or obscured social practices and prompting a reevaluation of the meanings of mobility, digital media, and the home in these examples of individuals living within the center and peripheries of society.

The Handbook establishes mobile socialities as a groundbreaking academic domain, suitable for advanced undergraduate students and scholars across media, communication, cultural studies, anthropology, cultural geography, and sociology. It serves as a valuable resource for those seeking to deepen their understanding of the complex interplay between media, mobility, and society.
