Greening Mobile AI?
Mobile AI is very much a work in progress. No better time at the outset, then, to consider its environmental implications. As mobile media and communication are woven together with AI, what are their entanglements—and what are the implications for the environment? First, given the slow progress on concerted effort over many years to tackle reuse, repair and ‘greening’ of mobile phones, as well as other mobile technology devices, and associated in…
Afterword
In this article, we reflect on the cultural legacies of the work of Professor Graeme Turner, a giant in the field of communication, media and cultural studies, especially in his late flourishing as a public intellectual. We note that Graeme’s impact on the field, on policy, on universities, and on public conversations on culture, politics and society has been profound. Crucially also that his influence upon, and support and care for the lives and…
Governing generative AI for disability and inclusion
The potential of generative AI for digital accessibility solutions that can benefit the lives of disabled people and enable their participation in society cannot be understated. Against this new world of possibilities, concerns of disability bias in AI have already been highlighted, specifically in how disability data is always-already excluded from datasets and how disability is not considered within the development of such technologies. Such co…
Disability, voice, and mobile AI
In this paper, we examine the developments at the crossroads of mobile phones and AI––mobile AI––by highlighting and considering their implications for the significant, cross-cutting, and highly intersectional area of disability. As we shall discuss, disability is remarkably prominent in how mobile AI is imagined and deployed. Several kinds of mobile AI explicitly claim to provide innovations that will improve the lives of disabled people. Such c…
Representing Marichuy Online
In 2018, Nahua healer and activist María de Jesús Patricio Martínez, Marichuy, launched a campaign to become an independent candidate for the Mexican presidency. Marichuy’s campaign is a key precedent to understand the 2024 political juncture of presidential campaigns in Mexico, resulting in the election of the country’s first female president. Although Marichuy did not gather enough signatures to have her name on the ballot, her unprecedented ef…
Big Data Discourses| Toward Disability Data Justice
The terms of inclusion/exclusion of disability in big data are ultimately connected to the kinds of discourses that inform disability in society. Since the rise of big data as a phenomenon, disability’s absence in it, especially in the data formations that underpin artificial intelligence and machine learning, is notable. However, nowhere are data sets and disability more connected than in disability censuses—underscored by the efforts of the Was…
A Scoping Review of Resettlement and Integration of Refugees with Disabilities
Reorienting Disability AI Imaginaries
This article looks at an important but as-yet underexplored aspect of artificial intelligence (AI) imaginaries in digital Asiascapes: disability. It performs a preliminary and exploratory analysis of disability in Asian AI imaginaries, revealing tensions and issues and raising questions for future research, policy consideration, and debate. It argues, first, that disability is an important component of AI imaginaries in Asia, in that AI imaginari…

Moving, Thinking, and Representing the Autistic Mind/Body
When released, the Korean drama Extraordinary Attorney Woo (ENA, 2022), chronicling the adventures of Woo Young-woo, an autistic lawyer played by neurotypical actor Park Eun-bin, quickly became a global hit. Its positive representations of disability, spotlighting the discrimination faced by autistic individuals, was widely heralded as departing from previously negative stereotypes. Amid a global move toward inclusion driven by the disability rig…
New possibilities or problems for disability and inclusion? The case of AI and ADMs across work
In this paper, we examine new and emerging uses of artificial intelligence (AI) and automated decision making (ADM) across various aspects of work, namely hiring, job redesign, and team formation, and their impact on disabled people. Building on disability as both a generative form of embodiment and knowledge, we consider how AI and ADMs can enable and empower disabled people for work, but also their inherent problems and contradictions. We ask t…
QR codes and automated decision-making in the Covid-19 pandemic
In this article, we explore Quick Response (QR) codes (machine-readable optical labels that link to information) and how, after a period of having fallen out of favor, they have been reactivated and have come to underpin COVID-19 automation and contact-tracing efforts. During the pandemic, they were used especially for “safe entry” and other kinds of check-in to locations to facilitate contact tracing. In this context, QR codes facilitate automat…
G common threads and challenges in emerging economies
Some decades on after the MacBride Many Voices, One World report (1980) and the Maitland Missing Link report (1985), global telecommunications have only gained in importance, yet are still fissured by global inequalities. This situation is evident in one of the major developments underway in recent years: 5G mobile technologies. 5G is highly significant for present and future communication-and well advanced in its deployment and adoption. However…
Australian media 2.0
A lot has changed in the Australian media, especially with the rise of digital technologies, and this chapter gives a bird’s eye view of this vastly altered landscape. Taking the early 1990s as a reference point, it outlines the main developments that underpin media in the 2020s. It looks at the key players in contemporary Australian media and what the big changes have been in relation to digitalisation, data, audiences and publics as well as new…
Cartels, memes, and digital platforms
Since the late 1970s, the Mexican government has been embroiled in an armed conflict with the drug cartels, and criminal organisations have engaged in violent confrontations with each other. Violence escalated in 2006 under the presidency of Felipe Calderón Hinojosa, and since then killings have become spectacular and highly mediatised. An often-overlooked front of the cartel wars is the use of non-official networked media that generates and sust…
Futures in mobile communication research
Mobile communication’s embedding throughout social life has generated new directions in research and theory to understand changes in how people engage with others, the physical environment, and media content. As an early home for mobile communication research, New Media & Society is well-positioned to host this special issue, including eight articles themed around Futures in Mobile Communication Research. Although diverse in research traditions, …
Apps, mobilities, and migration in the Covid-19 pandemic
In this article we discuss the entanglement of apps, mobilities, and migration – and the way that apps work as migrant infrastructure in a Covid context. We develop our analysis through a case study of Singapore's response to the pandemic during 2020–22, centred on the control of migrant workers through the use of Covid apps. We argue that Covid apps enact ‘managed inequality’ in blatant as well as subtle ways for migrants and the societies in wh…
Communication research and teaching
This article presents responses from a range of Australian scholars on communication research and teaching in the context of a roundtable in celebration of the 40th anniversary of the Australian Communication Association (ACA), the precursor organisation to the Australian and New Zealand Communication Association (ANZCA). Emphasising the range and diversity of approaches and epistemologies in this field, the roundtable invited a 'situated' respon…
Internet histories second early career researcher award
This special issue is the result of our second call for the Internet Histories Early Career Researcher Award. For the second time, in 2021, the journal Internet Histories has invited any interested early career researchers (masters students, doctoral students, and post-doctoral researchers) whose research focuses on the history of the Internet and/or the Web, and histories of digital cultures — or any historical topic within the scope of the Inte…
Automated decision-making, digital inclusion and intersectional disabilities
Disability is a long-standing area of digital inclusion finally emerging out of the shadows. In this article, we argue that a critical understanding of digital media from the perspectives of disability and intersectionality will offer generative insights for framing the terms and agenda of digital inclusion in the next decade. With a focus on the area of automated decision-making (ADM) in social and welfare services, we reflect upon the controver…
Asian internet histories
This paper provides an introduction to a special double-issue of Internet Histories journal on ‘Asian Internet Histories’. As the editors, we provide context and discussion of the exciting emerging work on Asian Internet histories, and identifies challenges ahead. We suggest that the histories of Asian Internet stand to make a precious and shape-shifting contribution to our understanding of the Internet and its evolution –– as well as ways in whi…
Celebration of the distinguished career of Professor Tom O'Regan (1956-2020)
Professor Tom O'Regan played an important role in the establishment and formalisation of media and cultural studies, especially in Australia and New Zealand. He had a long association with Media International Australia, serving on the journal's Editorial Board for many years and helping to guide MIA successfully through several key periods of significant change. In this special issue MIA, on behalf of its community of scholars, takes this opportu…
Locative-Media Ethics
Imagine yourself wherever you were 20 years ago, and that an entrepreneurial, fresh-faced, and friendly young newsboy comes to your doorstep. He asks you to subscribe to the local paper. There is no cost to this subscription, he says, but, in exchange for community news, the boy must be allowed to come into your house and look at all of your photos, even the most intimate ones, making duplicates for his boss as he sees fit. As a part of this tran…
Privacy and Digital Data of Children with Disabilities
Children with disabilities have been an overlooked group in the debates on privacy and data management, and the emergence of discourses on responsibilization. In this article, we offer a preliminary overview, conceptualization, and reflection on children with disabilities, their experiences and perspectives in relation to privacy and data when it comes to existing and emergent digital technology. To give a sense of the issues at play, we provide …

Disability, communication, and life itself in the Covid-19 pandemic
In this article we offer an analysis of a deeply problematic and troubling dual aspect of the COVID-19 pandemic: how disability is being understood within normative accounts of health and medicine to frame, interpret, and respond to its spread and implications; what are the terms of inclusion and exclusion in altered social life in the COVID crisis; and how people with disabilities fare. We find disturbing indications of disablism and oppressive …
Mobility and Locative Media
Mobility and Locative MediaMobilities has become an important framework to understand and analyze contemporary social, spatial, economic, and political practices.Especially as mobile media become seamlessly integrated into transportation networks, navigating urban spaces, and connecting with social networks while on the move, researchers need new approaches and methods to bring together mobilities with mobile communication and locative media.Mobi…
Adapting the mobile phone
In this paper, I look at the Apple iPhone as a fascinating instance of adaptation, especially as it relates to digital cultures. A theme in the rise of the mobile, or cell, phone has been how it underscores the active role that people play in the orchestration and use of culture. The gambit of the iPhone is that the mobile phone itself will be decisively remade, and through this that media culture will itself be reformed. To make sense of this ra…
Disability and mobilities
This paper explores the intersection between disability and mobilities, as a rich potential future area for mobilities research, social justice and futures. Disability has much more to tell us about mobilities, especially the relationships among different kinds of mobilities as they are woven into key aspects of contemporary societies. One strategically important zone where disability is crucially important is the shaping of new aspects of societ…
Facebook’s mobile career
At the end of its first decade, Facebook’s identity, popularity and characteristics are shaped in important ways by its becoming a form of mobile media. This article seeks to explore and understand Facebook as the important force in mobile media and communication it now is. It draws upon and combines perspectives from technology production, design and economy, as well as user adoption, consumption, practices, affect, emotion and resistance. This …
Covid-19 apps in Singapore and Australia
Widely and intensively used digital technologies have been an important feature of international responses to the COVID-19 pandemic. One especially interesting class of such technologies are dedicated contact and tracing apps collecting proximity data via the Bluetooth technology. In this article, I consider the development, deployment and imagined uses of apps in two countries: Singapore, a pioneer in the field, with its TraceTogether app, and A…
Disability and haptic mobile media
This article examines haptic media from the standpoint of disability media studies. Its central case study is the smartphone moment, in which mobile communication emerges as a mass haptic media form. The smartphone as a form of haptic media engages dynamics of disability, including touch, vibration and proprioception. In particular, vibration is an important contribution of the smartphone to haptic media. Overall, the article argues that we need …
Locative News
Location, locality, and localism have long been important characteristics of news, but their functions have been given a dramatic twist with the advent of locative, mobile media. The capabilities of mobile media devices to determine, sense, incorporate, and conjure with the relative locations of reporting and audiences have emerged as key to alternative, small- and large-scale networked news-gathering and dissemination ventures. This paper explor…
The Business of Digital Disability
The paradox of disability and inclusive information technology is considered. If we are now possessed of greater knowledge about disability and design, why is accessible and inclusive technology so difficult to bring about? Is it because inclusive technology is not profitable, and so unattractive for businesses and unsustainable as an industry? Or is the answer more education and awareness? This paper seeks to reframe dominant approaches to disab…

Youth culture and mobiles
The category of youth has been a strategically important focus in the development of mobile communication and media research. This paper reviews the themes and findings of the first phase of youth and mobile phone research, followed by a phase of new work just underway on youth and mobile media and mobile internet. It argues for the importance of an enlarged, interdisciplinary, and international perspective if we are to advance the field – and ou…
Disability and the ethics of listening
For Christopher Newell (1964–2008) The turn to listening in cultural studies, as a corrective to emphasis on voice and speaking, needs to engage with the varieties of listening to be found in the socio-political space of disability. While there are many different kinds of listening practices and concepts to be discerned in disability, these are yet to be systematically brought together and explored – let alone connected to the overarching idea of…
Media, communication and the struggle for social progress
This article discusses the role of media and communications in contributing to social progress, as elaborated in a landmark international project – the International Panel on Social Progress. First, it analyses how media and digital platforms have contributed to global inequality by examining media access and infrastructure across world regions. Second, it looks at media governance and the different mechanisms of corporatized control over media p…
Introduction

Normality and disability
This special issue of Continuum is published in a conjuncture where there is increased scholarly attention to the positioning as ‘abnormal’ of people designated as disabled, as well as people designated to other marginalized and denigrated categories (such as queer, chronic illness, racial and Indigenous minorities, poverty and criminality). Scholars have critiqued the cultural and material role of technologies of diagnosis and therapy, and disco…
Google phone rising
This paper explores the rise of Google's Android phone – a fascinating case study in a crucial yet under-theorized terrain of mobile media that illuminates the politics of software, operating systems, and their attachments to handsets and networks. While Android is a notable attempt to create an open source platform, I argue that in key respects it remains tied to the project of media corporations enclosing and controlling mobile and online platf…
Disability, technology innovation and social development in China and Australia
This paper examines the turn to technology innovation in disability policy, as it has manifested in the accessibility and digital inclusion agendas in China and Australia. It provides a review of the disability policy changes and related initiatives in both countries to offer insights for broader discussions of digital technology innovation and social policy in Asia. We argue that while governments take pivotal roles in formulating and implementi…
Digital technology and rights in the lives of children with disabilities
Children with disabilities, especially those from the Global North, often figure into public discourse as beneficiaries of the “digital revolution.” However, if children’s voices and experiences are generally under-considered in digital policy and rights debates, this is even more likely when it comes to disability. Against this background, this article looks at the global rights of children with disabilities in the digital age. We consider the s…
Disability Media Participation
This article discusses participatory media from a critical disability perspective. It discusses the relative absence of explicit discussion and research on disability in the literatures on community, citizen and alternative media. By contrast, disability has emerged as an important element of participatory cultures and digital technologies. To explore disability participatory cultures, the article offers analysis of case studies, including disabi…
Reorienting the Mobile
In this paper, I approach the question of mobiles in Asian countries by considering the case of Australia. I do so by way of a preliminary inquiry that seeks to explore the intersection between the emergence of mobiles in Australia with transformations in that country's sense of its relationship with Asia. First I discuss the history of the mobile phone in Australia, noting some important uses and representations that formed part of its social sh…
Crippling Paralympics? Media, Disability and Olympism
While clearly not intended to do so, the Paralympics and the notion of disability associated with them provides significant opportunity for ethical reflection on how far society has not come regarding disability. Yet, this opportunity to explore disability has rarely been taken up. Instead, the overwhelming representation of people with disability within mainstream media is found in portrayals of brave, elite athletes who overcome their disabilit…
QR codes and automated decision-making in the Covid-19 pandemic
In this article, we explore Quick Response (QR) codes (machine-readable optical labels that link to information) and how, after a period of having fallen out of favor, they have been reactivated and have come to underpin COVID-19 automation and contact-tracing efforts. During the pandemic, they were used especially for “safe entry” and other kinds of check-in to locations to facilitate contact tracing. In this context, QR codes facilitate automat…
Mobile Communication in Asia
This article introduces and provides the context for the themed section on mobile communication in Asia. It suggests that much work remains to be done in adequately grasping the new mobile, mediated face of communication in the very diverse Asian region. It also suggests that such a new direction in research needs to go hand in hand with rethinking the conceptual and theoretical bases of mobile, and indeed, Internet and computer-mediated communic…
Mobile social gambling
In this paper, we provide a history, analysis, and theorization of the emergence of mobile social gambling—a new form of media and cultural practice that fuses “social gambling” and “social gaming,” with the affordances of mobile platforms and social networking sites. Through the use of apps in mobile devices, the consumption of risk is experiencing a shift from space-bound betting to itinerant practices that open new spaces for leisure and socia…
Australian Telecommunications
In the latter part of the nineteenth century, one of the prerequisites for a country's membership of the International Telecommunications Union was that its telecommunications services were provided by a public monopoly. The United States, with its private industry and---particularly following the expiry of the Bell System patents---its open competition, could participate only as an observer

Yet, this opportunity to explore disability has rarely been taken up. Instead, the overwhelming representation of people with disability within mainstream media is found in portrayals of brave, elite athletes who overcome their disabilit…
Crippling Competition
Telecommunications reform in Australia, and in particular the introduction of competition, is often claimed to have delivered benefits to consumers. From the perspective of people with disability, this competition so far can been seen as crippling rather than enabling. There have been some gains for telecommunications for people with disabilities over the past decade in particular -delivered by slowly changing corporate attitudes buttressed by th…
Regulating for Content on the Internet
Much of the present debate about content on the internet revolves around how to control the distribution of different sorts of harmful or undesirable material. Yet there are considerable issues about whether sufficient sorts of desired cultural content will be available, such as 'national', 'Australian' content. In traditional broadcasting, regulation has been devised to encourage or mandate different types of content, where it is believed that t…
Prometheus unbound
In this article I review 20 years of writing on communication policy in Prometheus. I examine the contribution Prometheus has made to three areas of knowledge about communication policy: communication itself, its histories, and broad notions of communication policy; telecommunications; and new communication technology. I suggest that it is in the latter two areas focusing on the technological dimensions of communication policy, that the journal h…
The Uses of the Internet
Disabled e‐nation
This article considers questions of technological change, innovation, and communication from a disability perspective. Using a critical social perspective on disability, we offer an Australian case study to analyse disability in national telecommunications policy. In doing so, we critique the systemic lack of incorporation of disability in national visions, policies, and programmes. Accordingly, we argue for a cohesive, and genuine commitment to …
Uniting the nation? disability, stem cells, and the australian media
In this article, the 2002 Australian debate regarding embryonic stem cells is examined. This shows the importance of an analysis of the media to understanding how disability is constructed in discourses of nationhood and biotechnology. Media representation of disability—for instance, signifying disability as catastrophe—is seen as crucial in securing access to a variety of biotechnologies, such as embryonic stem cells. Analysis of such media mome…
Mobile message services and communications policy
Something of a design after‐thought, mobile phone SMS (Short‐Message Services) have been enthusiastically adopted by consumers worldwide, who have created a new text culture. SMS is now being deployed to provide a range of services and transactions, as well as playing a critical role in offering an interactive path for television broadcasting. In this paper we offer a case study of a lucrative, new industry developing internationally at the inter…
Cell Phone Culture
Providing the first comprehensive, accessible, and international introduction to cell phone culture and theory, this book is and clear and sophisticated overview of mobile telecommunications, putting the technology in historical and technical context. Interdisciplinary in its conceptual framework, Cell Phone Culture draws on a wide range of nationa
Premium rate culture
This article considers a neglected but crucial aspect of the new business of mobile interactivity: the premium rate data services industry. It provides an international anatomy of this industry model and the ways in which it has been used to capitalize upon the surprising success of short message service (SMS) to provide a basis for the development of consumer markets for mobile data services. It situates this analysis within a wider consideratio…
Introduction—Mobile Phone Cultures
Mobiles into Media
The use of SMS as a feedback channel or return path (that is, a new communication channel) in broadcasting is increasingly commonplace. But, what is the real significance of these SMS-mediated television events? Is this massive shift in the new digital mobile messaging landscape a lifeline for broadcast television, now struggling with its advertising base? How are new developments in SMS and MMS (multimedia messaging) building synergies between o…
Accessibility, Disability, and Inclusion in Information Technologies
The pages of The Information Society have hosted and incubated a number of fine critical studies and discussions of inclusion and accessibility, not least on topics such as universal service, digital divide, community networking, development, and access to information, Internet, and telecommunications. In one sense, then, this special issue foregrounds questions of accessibility and inclusion as they are raised by disability. This may function as…

Wireless Technologies and Cultures
Governments and big business tout the affordances of new technologies, but there is little research available that tells us why wireless connectivity should be or is desirable, or shows that its benefits have fully been established. In our minds, wireless technologies and cultures have not been given the sustained attention they deserve. Informed by these concerns, our hope is that this special issue, which follows on from a 2006 workshop sponsor…
An Australian Wireless Commons
In this paper, 1 reflect upon the Australian experience of wireless technologies and cultures, especially focusing on Wi-Fi, WiMax and broadband wireless. It is arguable that the development of these new wireless technologies has taken quite different forms in Australia than it has done in other countries. To approach this question, I consider the concept of a wireless commons and what it signifies, and look at how it could serve to open up Austr…

Making the Australian Mobile in the 1990s
In thinking about convergent media and new digital technologies, the place of mobile services and technologies in the broader media policy field has not been addressed satisfactorily. This article reviews the beginnings of cellular mobiles in Australia to see what this piece of history can tell us about today's policy challenges. My case study revolves around the technology choices made by the federal government in the 1980s, especially the decis…
Opening up Literacy with the Digital Turn
This paper argues that digital technologies offer an opportunity to open up and rethink cultural literacy. It discusses and critiques prevalent approaches to digital literacy, and examines the kinds of new literacies emerging from mobile phone culture and developments in mobile media. The paper concludes with suggestions for how mobiles can inform not only an understanding of digital literacy, but directions in literacy in general

Mobile phones and community development
Mobile phones have already been used widely around the world for activism, social and economic development, and new cultural and communicative forms. Despite this widespread use of mobile phones, they remain a relatively un-theorised and un-discussed phenomenon in community and citizen's media. This paper considers how mobile phones have been taken up by citizens to create new forms of expression and power. The specific focus is the use of mobile…
Assembling Media Culture
In this paper, I consider the problematic of assembling culture from the standpoint of media. Specifically I take the example of mobile media – emergent digital networked technologies that centre on cellular mobile networks, but also intersect with other technologies such as the Internet and portable music and video devices. My particular interest is in these new assemblages of media culture in which mobiles are now centrally implicated. To explo…
