{"product_id":"mood-and-mobility","title":"Mood and Mobility - Navigating the Emotional Spaces of Digital Social Networks","description":"\u003cb\u003eAn argument that as we engage with social media on our digital devices we receive, modify, intensify, and transmit moods.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe are active with our mobile devices; we play games, watch films, listen to music, check social media, and tap screens and keyboards while we are on the move. In\u003ci\u003e Mood and Mobility\u003c\/i\u003e, Richard Coyne argues that not only do we communicate, process information, and entertain ourselves through devices and social media; we also receive, modify, intensify, and transmit moods. Designers, practitioners, educators, researchers, and users should pay more attention to the moods created around our smartphones, tablets, and laptops.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDrawing on research from a range of disciplines, including experimental psychology, phenomenology, cultural theory, and architecture, Coyne shows that users of social media are not simply passive receivers of moods; they are complicit in making moods. Devoting each chapter to a particular mood—from curiosity and pleasure to anxiety and melancholy—Coyne shows that devices and technologies do affect people's moods, although not always directly. He shows that mood effects are transitional; different moods suit different occasions, and derive character from emotional shifts. Furthermore, moods are active; we enlist all the resources of human sociability to create moods. And finally, the discourse about mood is deeply reflexive; in a kind of meta-moodiness, we talk about our moods and have feelings about them. Mood, in Coyne's distinctive telling, provides a new way to look at the ever-changing world of ubiquitous digital technologies.","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50964504772896,"sku":"9780262552011","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0836\/3661\/7504\/files\/9780262552011.jpg?v=1764026756","url":"https:\/\/creativebysanchez.com\/products\/mood-and-mobility","provider":"Creative By Sanchez","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
