What is the relationship between media and mobility? Can media createvirtual mobility? Can we travel through media? Is it actual mobility or asense of mobility conveyed through the media that creates a "globalcitizen"? How have various types of media changed the way we view andnegotiate space? And how has increased mobility changed our relationshipto media?
