[CITASA] literature references for digital media and social mobilisation?

[Michiel de Lange]

Hi Olaf, 

I would recommend looking at the work of Eric Paulos (http://www.paulos.net/). He has done research and written about the use of mobile media as sensing and mapping technologies, e.g. in order to measure air quality. While not directly 'mobilizing', there is an interesting feedback loop into potential behavioral change when people are becoming more aware of their environment through visualizations and participation in measuring.

A few months ago I was at an interesting workshop called "eco-mapping" which dealt with the use of mobile media and the environment: http://www.picnicnetwork.org/page/54395/en. There's quite a lot of interesting things going on at the moment in this field.

Good luck & best: michiel
