Descriere
Despite the popularity of Skype with video many of us are still figuring out how to ‘do’ it. This book addresses how people emotionally and affectually are connecting with others audio-synchronously on the screen via Skype in a variety of different spatial contexts. Topics include Skype with video being used by grandparents to connect with grandchildren, friends and family using it for special occasions, and partners using it for romance and sex. Theories addressing bodies, gender, queerness, phenomenology and orientation inform the research. It is of relevance to those in Geography, Sociology, Cultural Studies, Science and Technology Studies and Media Studies.
