Kraemer charts the rise of social media and an emerging \"knowledge\" class in early-2000s Berlin. \u003c\/b\u003eMany young Germans and EU-Ausländer (foreigners from other EU countries), attracted to Berlin's vibrant post-unification counterculture, moved to the city just as they began using social media like Facebook and Twitter. Social media and Berlin alike became hip sites for urban, middle-class aspirations, but, as Kraemer accounts, social media users became embroiled in contestations over class mobility and identity, as urban planners and developers remade Berlin into a neoliberal \"creative city.\"\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe rise of this creative city involved scale-making projects that fused imaginaries of digital technologies with the expansive impulses of late capital: a vision of world peace and economic cooperation through global interconnection. But in Berlin, scalar transformations were lived out through ordinary practices that reconfigured daily sociality, mobility, and urban space.\u003ci\u003e Mobile City\u003c\/i\u003e explores how digital media practices forged emergent scales like the global and supranational yet were equally complicit in potential European disintegration and illiberalism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eMobile Berlin\u003cbr\u003e Locating Emerging Media\u003cbr\u003e Multiple Mobilities\u003cbr\u003e Multiscalar Publics\u003cbr\u003e Networked National Feelings\u003cbr\u003e Scaling Media Infrastructures\u003cbr\u003e Public Media in Urban Space\u003cbr\u003e Illiberal Spaces\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cornell University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52739552510232,"sku":"9781501778698","price":86.76,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/mobile-city-emerging-media-space-and-sociality-in-contemporary-berlin-hardback-9781501778698","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
