DESCRIPTION:Mimi Sheller\, Professor of Sociology\, Department of Culture a
 nd\nCommunication at Drexel University\, Philadelphia.\n\n“Infrastructures
  of the Imagined Island: Media\, Mobility and\nTourism”\nTravel and leisur
 e destinations\, especially in the Caribbean\,\nare being disembedded from
  national territories and repackaged as\nunique natural enclaves connected
  to global metropolitan media\,\ntransport\, and communication systems. Th
 rough a discussion of Zaha\nHadid's master plan for a new resort on Dellis
  Cay in the Turks and\nCaicos Islands\, this paper explores how state spac
 e\, informational\nspace\, and tourist space are recoding and rescaling is
 land space\ninto newly mediated configurations that combine virtual and\np
 hysical geographies. As Caribbean states and territories adjust to\ncomple
 x new infrastructures and architectures of software-supported\nmobility\, 
 they may prefigure processes of postcolonial urbanism\nthat are restructur
 ing private property\, cyberspatial property\, and\nstate territory in oth
 er parts of the world.\n
