“…Previous work has discussed the interfacing of these elements in terms of the diverse physical locations of members of virtual communities, or identity formation and performance in relation to online and offline 5 spaces (Goodings et al, 2007). Sutko and de Souza e Silva (2011) introduce the "presentation of place" in order to explain the performance of identity via location-aware technologies. However, "presentation of place" tends to focus on the impressions of a physical place provided by its visitors, or the social construction of place through locationbased social media, rather than the harnessing of place to perform identity to a social network.…”

Abstract:As a growing number of social media platforms now include location information from their users, researchers are confronted with new online representations of individuals, social networks and the places they inhabit. To better understand these representations and their implications, we introduce the concept of the "spatial self": a theoretical framework encapsulating the process of online self-presentation based on the display of offline physical activities. Building on previous studies in social science, humanities, computer and information science, we analyze the ways offline experiences are harnessed and performed online. We first provide an encompassing interdisciplinary survey of research that investigates the relationships between location, information technology, and identity performance. Then we identify and characterize the spatial self as well as examine its occurrences through three case studies of popular social media sites: Instagram, Facebook, and Foursquare. Finally, we offer possible research directions and methodological considerations for the analysis of geocoded social media data.

“…Such an understanding: i) complements research that that suggests LBSN in public do not socially isolate individuals in urban public spaces but can be a catalyst for interaction (e.g. [7,8]), and ii) can be used as a critical way and a new lens through which one can look and to revisit location-based data, and re-evaluate the geocoded traces in terms of their social functions, intentions, contexts, and situations under which they are produced. By designing and developing a LBSN and based on the findings of our study we propose the following initial design implications for LBSN: 1) Enable individuals to articulate identity claim over places, 2) when doing so consider the potentialities of power within an area and design to reinforce them or not based on the desired experience by 3) enabling/disabling the ability of users to actively perform aspects of their identity to others.…”

This paper expands upon that growing body of work, and aims to bring attention to the importance of the hybridity of the virtual/real world and the temporal nature of the multiplicity of meanings of physical places in LBSN by introducing and discussing the relationship between the interplay of self-identity and the expression of territoriality in LBSN.…”

Self-identity in mobile location-based social networks (LBSN) is a relatively underexplored topic. In this paper, we present our initial understandings on the role that LBSN play in the self-identity of its users and introduce a relationship between self-identity and expressions of territoriality in LBSN. Our work presented in this paper is based on a six-week study using a novel LBSN called GeoMoments. Our primary purpose is to draw attention to the importance of potential perceived power facilitated by identity claims over an area, and to the temporal nature of the layered meanings of physical places in LBSN so they can be drawn upon as a resource for design.

“…The voice has specific potency on the telephone, since it is a part that speaks for the whole. (Esposito, 2007) Through the voice-our tone, our inflection, and how loudly or softly we speak-we transmit emotional dialogue (Sutko & de Souza e Silva, 2011). Using caring as an example, studies have shown that the voice through the telephone may provide a spatiality of caring through empathy, advice, comfort, and assistance (Moyal, 1992).…”

“…The conceptualization of the mobile phone as an affective technology increasingly has come to the fore in social science research (Fortunati & Vincent, 2009;Lasen, 2004;Sutko & de Souza e Silva, 2011). The mobile is a device through which users of all ages and genders tend to "enjoy an affective relationship… [whereby] expression, display, experience and communication of feelings and emotions" occur and are exchanged (Lasen, 2004, p. 1).…”

Human Technology is an interdisciplinary, scholarly journal that presents innovative, peer-reviewed articles exploring the issues and challenges surrounding human-technology interaction and the human role in all areas of our ICT-infused societies.Human Technology is published by the Agora Center, University of Jyväskylä and distributed without a charge online. TECHNOLOGIES TO SUPPORT LEARNING, WELL-BEING, AND COMMUNICATIONThe Finnish information society, including its school system, is facing many challenges at the moment. Decision makers, such as representatives of the Ministry of Education and Culture, have raised lively discussion on the basis of the recent PISA results. 1 The trend among Finnish students' performance in the PISA study during the last decade is descendant. Altogether, the recent studies indicate particular worries related to both negative attitudes and lack of motivation towards learning among Finnish students, as these factors seem to be coupled with the performance and learning outcomes (Hautamäki, Kupiainen, Marjanen, Vainikainen, & Hotulainen, 2013; Kupari et al., 2013).One of the suggestions for renewing our school practices is to develop innovative pedagogical and knowledge practices that also utilize technologies. Although technologies have been developed for educational purposes already for almost two decades, many practical questions remain outstanding. Certainly the issues of the availability (accessibility and cost) and demand for flexibility (time, place, and pace) in learning remain challenges for employing, for example, distance learning in most educational systems. Yet these are not the actual bottlenecks for the more widespread and productive use of technologies in teaching or learning. Rather, the challenge frequently relates to educators' hesitant attitudes toward their abilities in applying new pedagogical approaches and utilizing technologies to support them. Moreover, because traditional models of learning have not inspired researchers and teachers to develop innovative pedagogical practices, research and development work within the field has shifted toward a focus on creating many-sided pedagogical practices, specifically through utilizing technologies that can support students in their efforts for deeper learning and richer interaction. Research in the area of learning technologies has indicated both possibilities and challenges related to pedagogically meaningful use of technologies for learning.The development, educational professionals now call for research-based, smart solutions to support learning and performance within formal and informal educational, work-related, and everyday contexts. The "learn anytime, anywhere" approach, while offering much potential for innovative teaching and learning, is not without challenges. Certainly, ubiquitous computing can provide opportunities for embedding learning into everyday activities (Weiser, 1991). However, research and development work should focus on meaningful pedagogical use of mobile devices instead of merely users...
