Acomparative framework is proposed concerning (1) the temporal and spatial characteristics of the two incidents, (2) the distinct organisational forms as well as the common historical and institutional conditions they shared, and(3) the relationship between mobile communication and other media for including traditional mass media and the Internet. The evidence being analyzed includes journalistic accounts, statistical sources, and a combination of secondary and primary research. A few tentative conclusions emerge, including: (1) mobile communication can be a key catalyst to civil society formation at times of emergency; (2) mobile phones work with the Internet and other media in creating an enlarged communication ecology, but tosucceed, this has to be based on existing political struggles; (3) the rapidity and scalability of mobile civil society movements pose challenges to the political process. The overall argument is that, by analyzing an entire array of issues being glossed over in popular accounts of these two events, wecan gain a much deeper and contextualised understanding about the socio-political aspects of political communication through the mobile phone. Pending issues for future research are also addressedČlanek iz zgodovinske in kritične perspektive analizira uporabo mobilnih telefonov v družbenih gibanjih v Aziji, kot sta gibanji People Power II na Filipinih in Nosamo v Južni Koreji. Primerjalna analiza obravnava razlike glede (1) časovnih in prostorskih značilnosti, (2) organizacijskih oblik ter (3) odnos med komuniciranjem z mobilniki in drugimi načini komuniciranja. Avtor ugotavlja, (1) da je lahko komuniciranje z mobilniki ključni katalizator oblikovanja civilne družbe v kritičnih obdobjih; (2) da mobilniki skupaj z drugimi mediji prispevajo k nastajanju razširjene komunikacijske ekologije, vendar je za uspeh potrebna opora na dejanske politične boje; (3) da sta hitrost in razčlenjenost delovanja mobilnih civilnodružbenih gibanj izziv političnemu procesuTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaEvropski inštitut za komuniciranje in kulturo - EURICOM
