Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In A Village Goes Mobile, Sirpa Tenhunen examines how the mobile telephone has contributed to social change in rural India. Tenhunen's long-term ethnographic fieldwork in West Bengal began before the village had a phone system in place and continued through the introduction and proliferation of the smartphone. She here analyzes how mobile telephones emerged as multidimensional objects which, in addition to enabling telephone conversations, facilitatedstatus aspirations, internet access, and entertainment practices. She explores how this multifaceted use of mobile phones has affected agency and power dynamics in economic, political, and social relationships, andhow these new social constellations relate to culture and development. In eight chapters, Tenhunen asks such questions as: Who benefits from mobile telephony and how? Can people use mobile phones to change their lives, or does phone use merely amplify existing social patterns and power relationships? Can mobile telephony induce development? Going beyond the case of West Bengal, Tenhunen develops a framework to understand how new media mediates social processes withininterrelated social spheres and local hierarchies by relating, media-saturated forms of interaction to pre-existing contexts. Drawing on ethnographic field work, A Village Goes Mobile examines how mobile telephony contributes to social change in rural India. The book investigates how the use of mobile phones has influenced economic, political, and social relationships, including gender relationships, and how these new social constellations relate to culture and development.
