Converging media spaces: introducing an emergent field of studies
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2012) Kopecka-Piech, Katarzyna
Along with the development of and widespread access to mobile technologies - smartphones, tablets, notebooks, GPS, Wi-Fi, RFID technologies as well as the growing number and diversity of media located in the city, such as urban screens and façades, interactive billboards and installations, media users' relationships with urban spaces has become more sophisticated. Converging media spaces emerge from the complex relations between devices, content, as well as business and users' daily activities in urban spaces. These spaces conceptualized as processes or rather events based on users' experiences allow us to indicate the emerging <i>multiplied places</i>. Converging media spaces emerge in multilaterally mediatized cities and mobile media urbanization - of which interactive maps are the best example. All of these processes take place in the context of blurring boundaries and the merging of daily activities. The analysis presented below was based on materials gathered in New York City in November 2010 by the researcher as a foreign observer and were supplemented by materials from different internet sources collected after the visit (articles, films, photos). The analysis includes the characteristics of physical (material) and virtual (digital) spaces. Furthermore, it pays attention to the meaning of emerging <i>in-betweens</i>. The cultural implications of widgets, switching and overlaying are also introduced.

Media infiltration - urban media in space and time
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2013) Kopecka-Piech, Katarzyna
The article examines relations between new media and the city in spatial and temporal dimensions. A process of media infiltration is analyzed using several examples and illustrations. Spatial infiltration is characterized by a created typology of physical, virtual and augmented media infiltration. It describes some of the processes of personal and social semiotization, as well as visibility, invisibility and quasi-visibility of media elements as typical features of media infiltration. The reflection on this leads to an explanation of complex relations between spatial infiltration and hybrid time emerging from new media usage. Tempo, rhythm and acceleration represent categories of the complex relations between mobility, temporality and spatiality. The article analytically explores creative, social and technological possibilities of new urban media and mediated practices, rather than indicating the critical implications of them.

Praktyka grania wśród graczy 50+ w perspektywie etnografii wirtualnej
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2019) Gałuszka, Damian
In this paper, the phenomena of gaming among mature and older people is presented. For the purpose of the main subject of the paper, virtual ethnography research was conducted in 2017, covering two important Internet forums for gamers aged 25 and over: The Older Gamers (TOG) and Senior Gamers (SG). In total, a set of 471 posts was coded, resulting in an in-depth description of five relevant aspects of gaming practice among gamers aged 50+: the general category that consists of basic user traits, their gaming habits, the hardware used to play games, their competences and knowledge related to games and gained during gaming sessions and the role of social environment, especially family. This study is not only novel in that it utilizes the virtual ethnographic approach to the topic of gaming among older and senior people, but also starts a discussion on these phenomena in Polish academic discourse.

Użytkownicy aplikacji Too Good To Go i Foodsi jako obywatele w obronie dziedzictwa przyrodniczego?
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2022) Zakusilo, Anastasiia
Postmodernity, with its disappearance of trade barriers, disintegration of traditional social structures, and the spread of ethics of consumerism, is seen by a number of sociologists as a challenge to social bonds, especially civic ones, based on the idea of common good. However, what is the role of mobile applications promoting the idea of zero food waste in the post-modern societies and thus referring to protection of the natural environment as the common good of mankind? The article explores the potential for environmental social bonds offered by applications Too Good To Go and Foodsi, and the social media groups that bring their users together. Based on the results of a quantitative study preceded by a content analysis of user groups on Facebook, the article answers the question of whether mobile applications can become the basis for social bonds. Applying theoretical perspectives on postmodern transformations and types of social bonds, the article aims to characterize the social bonds emerging through new media.
