This area of research is still understudied, especially in terms of demonstrating how app-mediated touristscapes are co-told, transduced, and augmented by networked assemblage between participants and mobile interfaces. Drawing on a pragma-semiotic approach, the present study aims to investigate the spatiotemporal constitution of Dubai as a mobile-mediated touristscape. We draw on a newly synthesized approach that combines Cooren and Matte’s (2010) model of constitutive pragmatics and Pennycook’s (2008, 2017) notion of “semiotic assemblages.” Such a methodological synergy has been applied to the Dubai Travel mobile app in a way that revealed how the touristscape of Dubai has been pragmatically constituted of the semiotic assemblage of heterogeneous figures in the app’s interface-human interaction. This form of techno-human interaction was demonstrated to be situated in three spacing practices: (i) presentifying or making materially present hybrid interactions of techno-human figures, (ii) ordering or systematizing the scripted trajectories of Dubai touristscape by creating more space and time across framed intervals, and (iii) accounting or linking spatiotemporal augmentation to affective semiotic assemblages. The study found that Dubai touristscape has been constituted via a human-non-human semiotic assemblage with augmented and multilayered spatiotemporal possibilities. The pragma-semiotic approach has thus helped in arguing against what accounts as a touristscape with fixed spatiotemporal properties. The study contributes to understanding the increasing role of networked communication through developing a dialogue with linguistic pragmatics.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p style="text-align: justify;">Мобильные технологии представляют собой набор семиотических ресурсов, сосуществующих в симметричных взаимоотношениях. Эта область исследований еще недостаточно изучена, особенно с точки зрения того, как туристические ландшафты отражаются в приложениях, преобразуются и становятся средством взаимодействия между пользователями и мобильными интерфейсами. Опираясь на прагмасемиотический подход, авторы рассматривают пространственно-временную организацию Дубая как туристического ландшафта, опосредованного мобильными устройствами. Для достижения поставленной цели мы опираемся на недавно синтезированный подход, который объединяет модель конститутивной прагматики (Cooren Matte 2010) и теоретическое понятие «семиотические комплексы» (Pennycook 2008, 2017). Этот комплексный подход был применен к мобильному приложению Dubai Travel, чтобы показать, что в интерфейсе приложения, предназначенном для взаимодействия с человеком, туристический ландшафт Дубая прагматически организован как семиотическая совокупность разнородных фигур (человеческих и нечеловеческих). Было продемонстрировано, что данная форма взаимодействия между человеком и техническим средством реализуется в трех пространственных практиках: (i) представлении или материальном присутствии гибридного взаимодействия между человеком и техническим средством, (ii) упорядочивании или систематизации заданных траекторий туристического ландшафта Дубая путем создания расширенного пространства и времени в рамках определенных интервалов, и (iii) учета или установления связи между увеличением пространственно-временной организации и аффективными семиотическими комплексами. Исследование доказало, что эти три практики связаны с мультимодальной конфигурацией, в соответствии с которой прагматическая организация города Дубай представляет собой единое семиотическое целое, включающее пространство, время, образ жизни и действия, которые позволяют презентовать, упорядочивать и принимать во внимание анализируемый туристический ландшафт. Таким образом, прагмасемиотический подход помог опровергнуть точку зрения, согласно которой туристический ландшафт обладает фиксированными пространственно-временными свойствами. Данное исследование способствует пониманию возрастающей роли сетевого общения посредством развития диалога с лингвистической прагматикой</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>configuration</kwd><kwd>constitutive pragmatics</kwd><kwd>networked communication</kwd><kwd>Dubai touristscape</kwd><kwd>semiotic assemblage</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>конфигурация</kwd><kwd>конститутивная прагматика</kwd><kwd>cетевая коммуникация</kwd><kwd>туристический ландшафт Дубая</kwd><kwd>семиотический комплекс</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group><funding-statement xml:lang="en">The corresponding author acknowledges that this study is supported via funding from&#13;
