Beschreibung
This book offers a multidisciplinary approach to locative media, concentrating on specific authors and practitioners whose works exist in print and digital manifestations. The book shapes the discourse for an extensive theorization of locative media works from a narrative perspective. It investigates how different genres ⸺ print novels, fictional and non-fictional locative narratives, locative games, and audio texts ⸺ are affected by locative media practice. Part I examines print manifestations of locative media in William Gibson’s fiction. Part II discusses e-book and audio book locative narrative experimentations, suggesting ways to create and categorize locative texts. Drawing on hypertext theory, Part III views Niantic locative games as an instantiation of locative media storytelling practice that challenges digital narrativity. This study captures a transition from a print-based textuality to a digital locative textuality and culture, and proposes flexible innovative models of interpreting narrative textual forms emerging from the convergence of locative and narrative media.

The infiltration of locative media in literary and cultural practice has led to the generation of diverse textualities. This new study advances the understanding and interpretation of locative media via the examination and thorough analysis of an array of primary source narratives (print novel, mobile apps, locative audio walks, and locative games) and theoretical approaches. Surveillance technologies, drones, databases, archives, hypertexts, GPS technology, sound, non-fiction and fiction writing become part of the locative media vocabulary this book brings forward. Vasileios Delioglanis offers a well-informed overview about the print and digital manifestations of locative media technologies.Dr. Tatiani Rapatzikou, Associate Professor, Department of American Literature and Culture, School of English, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece
In Narrating Locative Media, Vasileios Delioglanis brings a literary lens to the study of the technological mediation of space, place, location, narrative, and hypertext by locative media. It is essential reading for anyone interested in the narrative turn in locative media art and design.
