Bio

Adriana de Souza e Silva is a Professor at the Department of Communication at North Carolina State University (NCSU) and affiliated faculty at the Science Technology and Society Program at NCSU.

Dr. de Souza e Silva’s research focuses on how mobile and locative interfaces shape people’s interactions with public spaces and create new forms of sociability. She teaches classes on mobile technologies, location-based games and Internet Studies. Dr. de Souza e Silva is the co-editor and co-author of several books, including Net-Locality: Why location matters in a networked world (Blackwell, 2011 with Eric Gordon), Mobile interfaces in public spaces: Control, privacy, and urban sociability (Routledge, 2012 with Jordan Frith), and Mobility and locative media: Mobile communication in hybrid spaces (Routledge, 2014 with Mimi Sheller). She holds a Ph.D. in Communication and Culture from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Projects

Dr. Adriana de Souza e Silva works in the emerging fields of digital media and mobile communication. She studies how mobile technologies help us make sense of our interactions with public spaces and to society. There are two main interrelated trends to Adriana’s research. The first deals with the study of location-aware mobile technologies such as GPS-equipped cell phones. She investigates how location-based mobile games and location-based social networks enable people to coordinate their activities with others, to gain information about others, and to manage their own personal privacy. These are the topics of her two most recent co-authored books, Mobile Interfaces in Public Spaces: Locational privacy, control, and urban sociability (with Jordan Frith) and Net Locality: Why location matters in a networked world (with Eric Gordon). Mobile Interfaces in Public Spaces (Routledge, 2012) explores how mobile communication is changing the social structure and the way that we use technology for location-based communication in everyday life. The book traces the history of mobile artifacts like the book, the Walkman, and the iPod, to show how we have used these objects to both avoid interactions with others in public spaces, and also to shape a particular way of interacting with these spaces. It describes how location-aware technologies can also be used to interact with public spaces, and has strong implications for our perception of privacy and sociability. Her other co-authored book, Net Locality (Blackwell, 2011), develops a theory for understanding digital networks and our connection to public spaces and the internet.

Dr. de Souza e Silva’s second area of research focuses on mobile phone use in developing countries. She investigates how slum (favela) residents in Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) utilize mobile technology in their everyday lives. Low-income people often use mobile phones in ways that were not foreseen by technology developers. For example, they have pre-paid cell phones with no credit that only receive calls and cannot be used to call anybody. However, technology gives them access to social communication in ways that were not possible before. She is also exploring how the research and artistic community in that country use mobile technology and investigating the history of mobile phone regulation and adoption in Brazil. These topics are part of her forthcoming book, which critically analyzes the adoption and use of mobile technologies in the fifth largest mobile market in the world. By comparing the development of mobile phones in Brazil to that of other developing nations, she explores how socio-economic and cultural factors such as income distribution and education influence and are influenced by mobile phone use. Experts and non-experts alike tend to associate the rapid expansion of mobile phone use with concerns over loss of privacy, blurring boundaries between public and private, and new possibilities for economic development. In this book, she demonstrates how Brazil’s specific social, cultural, and economic contexts require rethinking these assumptions regarding mobile technology use.
