Notice: Function _load_textdomain_just_in_time was called incorrectly. Translation loading for the updraftplus domain was triggered too early. This is usually an indicator for some code in the plugin or theme running too early. Translations should be loaded at the init action or later. Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information.

Wearable technologies, like smartphones and smartwatches, allow us to use location-based services to \u201ccheck in,\u201d to establish routes and routines, and to discover nearby activities. But how do these new technologies affect the way we make sense of urban spaces?<\/p>\n

WRD Professor Jason Kalin<\/a> and his colleague, Professor Jordan Frith<\/a> of the University of North Texas, recently explored this question through a collaborative research project. Kalin\u2019s areas of expertise are in rhetorical theory\u2014visual, digital, and material rhetorics\u2014and memory studies. Frith\u2019s research focuses on issues of space, place, and mobility in media.<\/p>\n

In their article, \u201c<\/strong>Wearing the City: Memory P(a)laces, Smartphones, and the Rhetorical Invention of Embodied Space<\/a>,\u201d published in the June 2016 issue of Rhetoric Society Quarterly,<\/em> Kalin and Frith discuss palaces of memory<\/a>, which allowed early rhetors to organize and access knowledge. Today, mobile media users are creating what they call, \u201chybrid (physical-digital) palaces of memory,\u201d to record and mediate their movements throughout the city. In doing so, users are \u201cnot only [physically] inhabiting, but also [digitally] inventing the city.\u201d<\/p>\n
