Location-Based Social Media: Space, Time and Identity

This book provides a comprehensive analysis of the effects of using locative social media on spatiality, identity, and time.

Drawing on phenomenology, post-phenomenology, and critical theory, it offers a novel critical investigation of the temporal effects of location-based social networking (LBSN) use and how it influences our understanding of the world.

The authors argue that LBSN is not dead but rather evolving into next-generation location-aware social media, raising important questions about the conception and use of space, time, and identity in the digital age.

This book will be of interest to researchers and students in the fields of media studies, sociology, geography, and cultural studies.
