  Came across this while accessing the Howard article and it looked interesting. (http://web.ebscohost.com.libproxy.uoregon.edu/ehost/pdfviewer/pdfviewer?sid=8e95de21-8cc7-4252-b285-a377a71d7e3d%40sessionmgr13&vid=2&hid=14)

  Abstract: "This theoretical investigation explores how ethereal locations have become increasingly
  inhabitable through mobile telephony. Residue of the occupation of these ethereal places
  is found in the form of mobile data, traces of the mobile user's fantasy of connection with
  the other. Drawing from an interdisciplinary body of theory and research, we
  demonstrate how new forms of access to ethereal locations have emerged which allow
  for modifications to the positioning of self, other, subject, and thing. Central to this
  phenomenon is the shifting away from optical discernment to an alternate employment
  of vision. This paper demonstrates how the process of mediation afforded by mobile
  communication blurs these divisions and encourages the extension of self into new
  contexts. The utilization of mobile data facilitates these alterations which allows for the
  user to occupy ethereal places and to enact subjectivity differently."
