Topik: Media; Architecture; Urban Space Fulltext: 516.full.pdf (74.79KB) Isi artikel I read most of this book on two long train journeys, plus some stop-over time at the newly renovated St Pancras Station in London, which gave me the opportunity to observe and experience some of the complex interplays of media and space that Scott McQuire so eloquently discusses in The Media City. All around me, commuters worked and played away on laptops, PDAs, iPods, mobiles, Blackberries – sometimes all at once. Mobile and pervasive media have truly reshaped the practices of travel. At the same time, that older mediation of space by the train, the cinematic experience of watching the landscape speed by through the train windows and the way that experience connects to images of train travel, from Strangers on a Train to Brief Encounter, served as a reminder of the complex enfolding and interacting of media and space.
