    Subject Description 
     
    This subject examines the transformations of urban life and social belonging by focusing on the 
    related  impact of human mobility and new media and communication technologies. It will 
    critically engage with the dominant sociological models for explaining global movement and the 
    emergence of global, mobile media, and will test their relationship to theories of the nation state, 
    diasporic cultures and new urban formations. In particular it will examine the formation of new 
    hybrid identities, cosmopolitan organizations, transnational modes of agency and social 
    interaction. This subject will address the complex cultural transformation of public space and the 
    public sphere in contemporary society. It will situate this discussion in relation to underlying fears 
    towards outsiders and ambivalence towards the impact of new technologies and mobility in 
    general. 
     
    Subject Objectives 
    代写Mobility, Culture and Communication  MECM90003 
    Students who successfully complete this subject should be familiar with alternative perspectives 
    for understanding the relation between global flows and local affiliations, and for understanding 
    the emergence of new social spaces and practices  in the diasporic cultures of contemporary 
    cities. 
    Mobility, Culture and Communication  MECM90003 
    Generic Skills 
     
    On completion of this subject students should be able to: 
     
    •  Prepare and present their ideas in both verbal and written mode at an intermediate level 
    and in conformity to conventions of academic presentation. 
    •  Participate in discussion and group activities and be sensitive to the participation of 
    others. 
    Time management plays a key role in relation to successful university study. 
    Students need to keep in mind that as well as scheduled contact hours for lectures, tutorials and 
    seminars a considerable additional time commitment is needed to complete the academic 
    requirements of each subject. 
     
    Fourth Year & Postgraduate Subjects 
     
    •  24 contact hours per semester; 
    •  36 hours of class preparation and reading per semester**; 60 hours of assessment-related 
    tasks per subject; 
    •  120 hours total time commitment per semester per subject 10 hours total time 
    commitment per week per subject 
     
    This means that in every week of semester, aside from your specified contact hours of lecture and 
    tutorials, you should also be devoting at least 5  -  6 hours of your own time to each subject 
    undertaken during the semester including reading, research and assessment tasks. 
     
    Subject Materials 
     
    Required readings and some further reading are in the Subject Reader. 
     
    Expectations about Reading 
     
    Reading is divided into ‘essential reading’ which is compulsory and ‘further reading’ which is 
    recommended and useful for your essays and research papers. Aside from your textbook, all other 
    set readings and recommended readings are in your subject reader. 
     
    You should ensure that you do your reading before seminars. It is advisable to bring your Subject 
    Reader to all lectures and seminars. 
     
    This subject includes material from a variety of different sources and can include readings which 
    are quite different from traditional journal articles or other academic writing  -  including reports 
    and briefing notes. This helps to develop an important skill – the ability to interpret and analyse a 
    variety of written material. 
     
    Undertaking Research 
     
    Please note that the readings in the Subject Reader are the minimum reading you are required to 
    do. All students are expected to read more widely, particularly for areas in which they are writing 
    essays. Each topic contains a list of suggestions for further reading. Many of these books have 
    been placed at the Reserve Desk in the Baillieu library. There are also many other relevant books 
    and materials you can refer to. Where you are unable to obtain material from the Baillieu, always 
    check the State Library. 
    Mobility, Culture and Communication  MECM90003 
    If you are having trouble locating a particular reading, you should consult with the lecturer who 
    may be able to help you to access a copy, or suggest alternatives. Students who  read more 
    widely will inevitably be more successful in their studies. 
     
    Libraries 
     
    The main library where you will find holdings is the Baillieu Library. Most of the resources related to 
    this subject are located here. Apart from its general collection, the  Baillieu Library has useful 
    academic journals as well as a host of online resources. 
     
    The Library has a reasonable collection of videos in the Education Resource Centre. The Baillieu 
    has a large collection of national and international newspapers with both current and archival 5 
     
    holdings. Electronic newspapers and online media related magazines can be found through 
    Discovery Search on the Library homepage. 
     
    To locate relevant peer-reviewed articles, follow the A-Z E-journal and Database Search on the 
    Library  Homepage.  APAIS  and  Expanded Academic ASAP  are very useful for locating useful 
    journal and newspaper articles including some full-text articles. The library also maintains a list of 
    media-related journals under ‘Media’ in the Database by Search function.  
     
    Journals 
     
    Most  journals can now be accessed electronically.  If you are not already familiar with using the 
    Library’s online search catalogue for searching databases, you should arrange to undertake a 
    library information session as soon as possible. 
     
    Assessment 
     
    We strongly recommend that you obtain a copy of the School of Culture and Communications 
    Essay Writing Guide available from the School Office, Level 2, John Medley Building, West Tower, 
    or on our website:  http://culture-communication.unimelb.edu.au/sites/culture-
    communication.unimelb.edu.au/files/Essay_Writing_Guide.pdf 
     
    This Guide describes matters of writing style, referencing and essay submission in great detail. It is a 
    very important resource for your studies. Further assignment help can be found via Student 
    Services and the Academic Skills Unit. Please see your tutor to find out more about these services. 
     
    Assessment for this Subject Consists of: 
     
    Completion of two pieces of assessment during the semester:

    your argument. 
     
       6 
     
    Questions for Reflective Essay 
     
    •  What is the significance of mobility as a social concept?

    •  What is the relation between the growth of personal media and increased urban 
    surveillance? 
    •  How have media platforms affected the movement from a national to transnational 
    public sphere? 
    •  How might placed-based interactive media projects contribute to the production of new 
    forms of public agency? 
    •  Can cosmopolitanism provide a new perspective on the form of social relationships? 
    •  Is the concept of human rights broad enough to embrace the plight of refugees and 
    strangers? 
    •  What is the relation between the desire for openness to the world and the need to feel 
    secure at home? 
     
    Tutorial Attendance and Participation 
     
    Participation means more than just attending. It is important to have done the required reading 
    prior to the seminar so that you are able to contribute to group discussions. Attendance and 
    participation is a requirement for all subjects offered by the School of Culture & Communication. 
     
    NB  - More specific details including handouts will be provided about the assessment tasks  in the 
    first weeks of semester.  Assessment will also be discussed in tutorials and you will have time to 
    discuss these with your tutor or the subject coordinator. 
     
    Extensions for Written Work and Penalties for Late Work: 
     
    It is your responsibility to submit work by the due date. If for some reason you think cannot make a 
    deadline, please discuss the matter with the subject coordinator or tutor prior to the due date. 
    Extensions will only be granted in special circumstances. Extensions will not be granted on  final 
    pieces of assessment without an application for special consideration lodged along with 
    supporting documentation (see below). 
     
    Essays submitted after the due date without an extension will be penalised 2% per day. Essays 
    submitted after two weeks of  the assessment due date without a formally approved application 
    for special consideration and an extension will only be marked on a pass/fail basis if accepted.  
     
    All requests for extensions for final essays must be accompanied by an application for Special 
    Consideration with supporting documentation. 
     
    Special Consideration is lodged online and the requested supporting documentation must be 
    submitted before the application will be considered. Please note the timelines for the lodgement 
    of special consideration. Applications that are lodged outside of these timelines will not be 
    considered. 
    Mobility, Culture and Communication  MECM90003 
    Planning Your Workload 
     
    It is important to plan your workload in advance. If you leave things to the last minute, you will 
    often find that someone else is using the book  that you want. The best thing to do is to sit down 
    now with your diary and organise a semester timeline for all your subjects.  
     
    Please remember that having essays for other subjects due at the same time does not amount to 
    ‘special circumstances’ for requesting special consideration or an extension!

    Students' Responsibilities to Contribute to their Own Learning 
     
    At the commencement of each semester students are made aware, through subject readers, 
    departmental notice boards, web and other means, of  their responsibilities to contribute to their 
    own learning. All students must: 
     
    •  familiarise themselves with departmental guidelines for assessment; 
    •  be aware of the requirements and due dates for each of the components of assessment, 
    including examination times; 
    •  ensure that the they take into account the total time commitment to study for each 
    subject of their enrolment; 
    •  make sure that their studies are not impeded by part-time work or other outside 
    commitments; 
    •  regularly consult subject noticeboards or wherever subject information is regularly posted; 
    •  seek assistance if they experience difficulties with any aspect of their studies. 
     
    It is also each student's responsibility to plan their course in a way that satisfies course requirements 
    by ensuring timely enrolment in the correct number of subjects at the appropriate year level. 
     
    General Notes on Assessment 
     
    a)  There is an 80% tutorial attendance rule. Your tutorial attendance will be monitored and 
    without documented evidence explaining tutorial absences of more  than 20% you will 
    FAIL this subject. 
     
    b)  An extension of time beyond the due date of final examinations will be given only on 
    submission of a Special Consideration application via the online site detailed above, and 
    only for a reason that falls within the guidelines for Special Consideration. A specific date 
    for submission will then be agreed upon and enforced unless evidence for additional 
    Special Consideration is produced. 
     
    c)  You are required to keep a copy of all written work submitted for assessment. 
     
    d)  Brief comments will be included on all assignments, together with a grade on the following 
    scale: H1 = 80-100%, H2A = 75-79%, H2B = 70-74%, H3 = 65-69%, P = 50-64%, N = 0-49%.  
     
    e)  All failed essays will be double-marked before being returned. 
     
    f)  Any request for a reconsideration of the final and official grade for this subject must be 
    made in writing to the Head of School or the Head of your study area, and give reasons 
    why reconsideration is justified. You will be required to resubmit all original pieces of 
    assessment submitted for the subject with your request for reassessment. 
     
    g)  You are advised to take note of the Faculty Policy on Plagiarism: copies of this document 
    are displayed on departmental noticeboards. 
     
    h)  You may not submit for assessment in this subject any written work submitted in whole or 
    part for assessment in another subject. 
     
    i)  All final written work for assessment must be submitted on LMS. Hard copies are to be 
    submitted to the School Office located on the 2nd floor of the West Tower, John Medley 
    Building and include a correctly completed cover sheet. Essays cannot be submitted by 
    fax or email. You should include a stamped and self-addressed envelope if you wish to 
    have your final marked essay returned to you. Essays without a stamped self-addressed 
    envelope will not receive examiners comments and will not be returned to students. 
     
    j)  You should check details of your enrolment, because you will not receive a formal result 
    for any subject unless you are enrolled in it correctly. You need to make changes to your 
    enrolment within the first two teaching weeks of the semester. 8 
     
    Notes on PLAGIARISM 
     
    It is very important that you are aware of requirements regarding plagiarism. 
    What is Plagiarism? 
    Plagiarism is the use of another person's work without due acknowledgment. Examples include: 
     
    •  direct duplication, by copying (or allowing to be copied) another's work. This includes 
    copying from a book article, web site, or another student's assignment 
    •  paraphrasing another person's work with minor changes, but keeping the meaning, form 
    and/or progression of ideas of the original; 
    •  piecing together sections of the work of others into a new whole; 
    •  submitting an assignment that has already been submitted for assessment in another 
    subject; 
    •  presenting an assignment as independent work when it has been produced in whole or 
    part in collusion with other people, for example, another student or a tutor. 
     
    Practical Advice to Students 
     
    How to Avoid Plagiarism and Why is Plagiarism so Serious? 
     
    Plagiarism is defined as ‘the taking and passing off the thoughts, writings, etc, of other people as 
    your own’. In short, it is intellectual theft. 
     
    In not crediting the source, a person is guilty of stealing another’s research, thinking, writing, or 
    images (intellectual knowledge in all its forms).  It is unacceptable at all times; it is completely 
    unacceptable in an intellectual environment such as a university. We take a very dim view of 
    students who engage in plagiarism. 
     
    If a student is found to have deliberately plagiarised the work of another—including copying the 
    work of other students—the penalties are severe. The ‘best outcome’ will be a zero for the 
    particular assessment exercise. You may be failed outright for that subject. If there is reason to 
    believe that you have made a practice of plagiarism, university disciplinary action may be 
    recommended which could result in your expulsion from the university and denial of your degree. 
     
    Sometimes a student might inadvertently plagiarise. This is usually the result of inexperience, sloppy 
    note taking, or a combination of both. With the advent of the Internet and a wide range of other 
    electronic sources, the rules for correct citation are still being written. In general, you should try to 
    follow the practice established for citation of written works. 
     
    The following notes are to help you avert being suspected of or accused of plagiarising the work 
    of another person. They include special notes on citation of sources found on the internet. 
     
    You must cite the source of information in the body of any essay  or assignment (either as a 
    numbered footnote or as an in-text reference) and list the cited source in the bibliography 
    ordered alphabetically. To do this properly, you need to be careful about recording the source of 
    each note that you make, whatever the source, be it a book, a journal, a film or TV documentary, 
    or a source on the Internet. 
     
    Each note you take should include certain basic information which enables another person to 
    identify correctly and locate that source and the origin of your quote or data cited. The methods 
    vary for different types of sources. In the first reference to any type of item you must give a 
    description sufficient to identify it. 
       
    The School of Culture & Communication Essay Writing Guide provides precise style requirements 
    for citing references but in general, you are required to note: 
     9 
     
    For books: Author (full name), Title of book (underlined or in italics), the edition (if not the first), 
    Place and Date of the publication, and Page Number. 
     
    For articles:  Author (full name), Title of article (between ‘quotation marks’), Name of journal 
    (underlined or in italics), Volume and Issue number, Date/Year of publication, Page Number. 
     
    For  internet sources: name of organisation providing the service, the title of the home page and 
    its http://-address (this is the most important reference), the date of creation of that page (if 
    known) and the date of your access (since pages can change or disappear).  Because the 
    internet  is hyperlink media, pages containing ‘hotlinks’ which allow you to go elsewhere, it is 
    important that you note the actual location (URL) of the page from which you have obtained 
    your information. You do that by looking at the Location: field which shows the http://-address. 
    (Some sites allow you to visit other sites within one of their frames without changing the root 
    address. You need to note this.) 
     
    If you take notes using your word processor running simultaneously with your web browser, using a 
    process of copy and paste, make sure you put quotation marks around passages which are a 
    direct copy of the Web document to distinguish the copied passages from notes which are in

    MODERNITY AND MOVEMENT 
     
    This topic introduces migration and media as twin optics for understanding the emergence of 
    contemporary society as a social form based on mobility. The modern period is commonly 
    associated with change. Ideas of progress, transformation and discovery are often expressed 
    through the metaphors of movement. Similarly, the experience of travel and migration, which is a 
    physical act of movement, also became a more widespread phenomenon during modernity. 
    Migration has been a dominant force in the reshaping of modern societies, but its meaning has 
    often oscillated between the poles of threat and opportunity. The advent of cheaper and faster 
    modes for the transportation of people and commodities has been paralleled by the 
    development of new means of circulating images and information. The transition from traditional 
    media to digital networks means that mobility has gained even greater force in contemporary 
    society. This introductory session will offer an overview on theories of mobility and communication. 
     
    Key issues 
     
    •  What are the general patterns and meanings associated with movement? 
    •  What is the significance of mobility as a social concept? 
    •  How has the relation between media and the nation state changed in recent years?

    GLOBAL PEOPLE MOVEMENTS AND THE CONTEMPORARY NATION 
    PART 1: PERSPECTIVES FROM EUROPE 
      
    This topic considers how discourses on the nation state and mobility have been confined to an 
    oppositional model. It will focus on the dominant sociological models for explaining global 
    movement and explore their relationship to theories of the nation state. In particular it will examine 
    the twin pillars of micro-agency and macro-  structuralism that have supported the prevailing 
    sociological theories of migration present the nation state as a bounded system. This topic will also 
    consider whether the theories of migration and the nation-state as a unified and exclusionary 
    social system are in effect producing an underlying fear towards outsiders and ambivalence 
    towards mobility. An alternative model based on complexity theory will then be used to address 
    the global flows and local affiliations of contemporary society. We will also examine the most 
    recent report by United Nations High Commission on Refugees. 
     
    Key issues 
     
    •  In what ways are perceptions of national integrity linked to border control?

    GLOBAL PEOPLE MOVEMENTS AND THE CONTEMPORARY NATION  
    PART 2: PERSPECTIVES FROM THE ASIA-PACIFIC 
     
    This week continues our examination of migration theories in relation to the nation-state, with a 
    particular focus on Australia and the Asia-Pacific region more broadly. We will consider the way 
    nationhood is contested and reconfigured through contemporary border crossings and 
    interactions with ‘strangerhood’. 
     
    Key Issues 
     
    •  How is the nation negotiated through border control in Australia? 
    •  How do past and present global mobilities—or immobilties, as the case may be—
    accumulate and collide in the Asia-Pacific region? 
    •  What role does ‘the body’ have in the context of global migration and how is it related to 
    understandings of the nation?

    CITIES ON THE MOVE 
     
    This topic will examine the implications of new technological forms and practices of mobility on 
    the textures of urban space. It will link early modern aspirations to render the city more mobile and 
    dynamic to contemporary uses of mobile digital media. The topic will examine the emergence of 
    ‘global cities’, in particular the new patterns of connection and disconnection that networks 
    enable. Finally, it will explore the ambivalence of the new informational ‘flows’ that constitute 
    cities as increasingly ‘liquid’ environments. 
     
    Key issues 
     
    •  How has  the traditional image of the city changed?  How has digital technology 
    underpinned the emergence of ‘global cities’? 
    •  What distinguishes the ‘information city’ from the ‘industrial city’? 
    •  What are the social and political consequences of global information cities, or ‘liquid’ 
    environments? 
    •  What is the relationship between the growth of personal media and increased urban 
    surveillance?

    GLOBAL MEDIA AND THE TRANSNATIONAL PUBLIC SPHERE 
     
    This  topic addresses the new conditions of public culture in the global era. Beginning from the 
    historic association between media and the public sphere posited by those such as Habermas, 
    we examine the growing need to reformulate concept in the present. Global networks of 
    communication are creating the potential for new scales and patterns of social organization. 
    They are also altering the conditions of public culture in contemporary cities. If the growth of 
    modern media once forced public life to shift from the street to the screen, we are now witnessing 
    a shift back to the street. 
     
    Key issues 
     
    •  How have media platforms affected the movement from national to transnational public 
    sphere? 
    •  How can we conceptualise the changing relation of public sphere to public space?

    TRANSNATIONAL MOBILITIES 
     
    This week we look at the formation of diasporic communities in order to question the structures 
    and flows through  which they are constituted. This will critique traditional notions of ethnic 
    enclaves and question the integrative capacities of the nation state. We will pay close attention 
    to the influence of new communication and transportation technologies.

    BELONGING IN DIGITAL DIASPORAS 
     
    This week we continue our examination of the way new media networks are altering the social 
    dynamics of cultures and communities. Public space has become a frontier zone for new 
    opportunities and struggles as embedded, mobile and wireless media become pervasive in urban 
    infrastructure. Artists have often been at the forefront of developing innovative interfaces and 
    practices as a means of intervening in and transforming urban space. Beginning from the critique 
    of the modern city launched by groups such as the Situationist International, we will survey a 
    range of contemporary projects which are explicitly designed as ‘pathway’ interventions. 
     
    Key issues 
     
    •  How are contemporary artists utilising mobile, networked and wireless media in 
    conjunction with geo-positioning data? 
    •  How might placed-based interactive media projects contribute to the production of new 
    forms of public agency?

    CULTURE AND COSMOPOLITANISM 
      
    In this week we develop a more finely grained understanding of cosmopolitan practice by follow 
    the pioneering examples of artists in the formation of new cultural and social communities. In 
    particular, we will consider the techniques and strategies that artists have adapted and adopted 
    for extending collaborative and cross-  cultural exchange. This will provide an opportunity to 
    rethink the ideas of boundaries and networks. 
     
    Key issues 
     
    •  How do the new art collectives develop new modes of cultural exchange? 
    •  Do the encounters in art events enable a platform for democratic dialogue?

    THE HOME IN MOBILE TIMES 
     
    In this topic we examine the reconstruction of ‘home’ as both a physical location and existential 
    space in the context of ubiquitous media. How doe we define and negotiate spaces of 
    communal ‘belonging’ in the global present? What is happening to the ‘privacy’ of the home in 
    an age of ‘reality TV’ and real-time media? What are the consequences of heightened media 
    exposure for personal identity? 
     
    Key issues 
     
    •  What is  the relation between the desire for openness to the world and the need to feel 
    secure at home? 
    •  How do media transform the spatiality of the home?

    Week 11: Wednesday 12 October 
    TOWARDS A NEW UNIVERSALISM 
     
    In this week we examine the transformations of political action that have been the result of the 
    new ideas on diasporic communities, the social practices that produce transnational networks 
    and the forms of cosmopolitan agency. We will ask how this affects questions of representation 
    within existing political institutions, the boundaries by which membership is defined, the 
    relationship between human rights and national rights. 
     
    Key issues 
     
    •  Is the concept of human rights broad enough to embrace the plight of refugees and 
    strangers? 
    •  Is it possible to have a concept of ethics without borders?
