The politics of identity
In what ways can we think through the complexities of identity? Identity is a contested concept, but it is more than a thing possessed by agents. Identity is contingent and dynamic, constituting and reconstituting subjects with political effects. In this edited book, identity is explored through a range of unique interdisciplinary case studies from around the world. Questions of citizenship, belonging, migration, conflict, security, peace and subjectivity are examined through social construction, post-colonialism, and gendered lenses from an interdisciplinary perspective. This combination showcases in particular the political implications of identity, how it is constituted, and the effects it produces. This edited collection will be of particular interest to students of international relations theory, migration studies, gender and sexuality, post-colonialism and policy-making at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels.

The portable shrine: remembrance, memorial, and the mobile phone Paper in special issue: Placing Mobile Communications. Lloyd, Clare; Rickard, Scott and Goggin, Gerard (eds).
The mobile phone is a sophisticated communication device (complete with camera) that continues to penetrate our private and public spaces, but it is also a place for the safekeeping of treasured memories in the form of personal artifacts, images, videos, and intimate messages. Like a portable modern-day shrine, the mobile phone may be used as a mechanism for remembrance, a mobile Wunderkammer for secreting curios, or a repository for storing the traces of our personal and collective memories that range from the banal through to the profound. In this paper, I argue that, rather than eroding the cultural traditions and rituals associated with remembrance, the mobile phone promotes new modes of self-expression and thus presents us with new ways to reminisce, interact with, and reflect upon the experiences that shape our personal and collective cultural identity. The mobile phone not only presents users with new ways to capture, share, and archive the digital representations of experiences, but it also promotes new modes of engagement with cultural traditions and rituals pertaining to the act of remembrance.

Transmesh: A Locative Media System
This research project demonstrates the technosocial possibilities that result from creating localized mediated spaces or 'meshworks' using Bluetooth in order to publish independently produced content. Bluetooth technology is a double-edged sword. It is a meshwork for sharing media freely between mobile device users in public places such as shopping centres and private spaces such as the home and the workplace. It presents opportunities for the design of innovative creative projects, however technical issues, user acceptance and competition for the user's attention provide continuing challenges.
