Abstract

This chapter explores how material objects, specifically mobile media technologies, become incorporated into what Wojciech Kalaga (2010) refers to as the third of the body. Throughout the fieldwork participants overwhelmingly expressed that via motivated, recursive use, their mobile no longer felt like an object, but like something that had become a part of them. This chapter, via the backdrop of the life transition from secondary school to university, explores how a number of the interviewee’s mobile media practices contribute to processes of internalization and externalization and, depending on the practice, equally encourage the mobile to be designated as existentially important.
