ABSTRACT

We find many interesting points of convergence and divergence across the chapters of this book that suggest the promise and potential of media and communication geography. We’d like to identify some of these points in order to highlight certain possible future directions that scholars working at the intersection of media, communication, and geography might pursue. We also note from the outset that, as two scholars who identify closely with the field of cultural studies, we are, in many ways, more comfortable with practices that unsettle disciplinary boundaries than with those that establish them. For us, part of what is exciting about the provocation of dialogues around media, communications, and geography is the fascinating possibilities that emerge when the disciplinary boundaries some seek to police are instead destabilized or made more ambiguous.
