Mobile Technologien und nomadischer Raum: Motorisierung, by Lilian Iselin

By Lilian Iselin
Dieser Band betrachtet die Verflechtung von Infrastruktur und Mobilitätstechnologien mit dem Alltag tibetischer Nomaden. Anhand von detailreichen ethnografischem fabric beschreibt die Autorin, in welcher Weise Nomaden des tibetischen Hochlands cellular Technologien wie Motorräder, vehicles und Mobiltelefone nutzen. Alltagspraktiken der Mobilkommunikation und der motorisierten Mobilität führen zu einer Translokalität, welche nomadische Akteure in Urbanisierungsprozesse Chinas implizieren, die seit der Jahrtausendwende auch Ost- und Nordosttibet verändern. Das Buch beleuchtet damit bislang kaum untersuchte Aspekte des Wandels in einer tibetischen sector und schlägt eine Brücke zu gesellschaftspolitischen Fragen der Urbanisierung und Technisierung der Gesellschaft. Eine fundierte Auseinandersetzung mit aktuellen theoretischen und methodischen Konzepten zu mobilen Technologien und Mobilität macht das Buch über die Asienwissenschaft hinaus auch für die vergleichenden Sozial- u. Kommunikationswissenschaften interessant.
