Abstract

This chapter offers a comprehensive summary of the research on LBSN and spatiality, building to a critical analysis of the effects of LBSN use on understanding the spaces around users through the mechanism of play. The chapter also draws attention to the spatial turn in the humanities and the importance of the shift in social theory from questions of time to questions of space through an exegesis of the work of Lefebvre, de Certeau and others. We interrogate the spatial effects of LBSN use as an instance of altered understanding of space and place through an examination of how playful uses of Foursquare have led users to understand their environments differently, which also implicitly questions long-held theoretical positions on play and spatiality.
