====Abstract====

This paper provides examination of the effects of widespread [[mobile technologies|mobile telephony]] on the social and spatial relations of individuals in the postmodern state. This is the realm of [[Cyborg Anthropology|cyborg anthropology]], which, according to co-developer [[Donna Haraway]], “explores the production of humanness through machines” ([[The Cyborg Handbook|Gray]] 1993:342).
The widespread adoption of the cell phone has morphed five aspects that [[Zygmunt Bauman]] (2000) considered to be the basis of share human life: emancipation, individuality, [[Time and Space|time/space]], community, and [[work]].

Changes to individuality and community can be described through an analysis of the constructions of public and private space. When the public sphere becomes completely private the social sphere will become public again, but the field of interaction will be global instead of local.

The conclusions gathered from an analysis of these spaces will be used to show how cell phones have changed the construction [[Time and Space|time/space]] and emancipation of the human in the postmodern state.

This paper discusses the effects of [[mobile technologies|mobile telephony]] on emancipation, individuality, time/space and community through the theoretical lenses of [[Erving Goffman]], [[Victor Turner]], [[Marc Augé]], [[Donna Haraway]], and [[Bruno Latour]].
