Intimacy at Work:: How Digital Media Bring Private Life to the Workplace
ISBN: 9781629580951 / Angielski / Miękka / 117 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. According to some social critics, the digital age involves a retreat into the isolation of intelligent machines. Acclaimed scholar Stefana Broadbent takes another view, that digital technologies allow people to bring their private lives into the often alienating world of work. Through ethnographic evidence and data gathered from large samples in Europe and the U.S., Intimacy at Work looks at a paradox in modern life: Although human beings today spend so much of their waking hours working, they remain increasingly connected to family and friends--because of digital and social media. This book...

The Ethnography of Rhythm: Orality and Its Technologies
ISBN: 9780823270460 / Angielski / Twarda / 274 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Who speaks? The author as producer, the contingency of the text, intertextuality, the "device"--core ideas of modern literary theory--were all pioneered in the shadow of oral literature. Authorless, loosely dated, and variable, oral texts have always posed a challenge to critical interpretation. When it began to be thought that culturally significant texts--starting with Homer and the Bible--had emerged from an oral tradition, assumptions on how to read these texts were greatly perturbed. Through readings that range from ancient Greece, Rome, and China to the Cold War imaginary, The...

Ageing and Technology: Perspectives from the Social Sciences
ISBN: 9783837629576 / Angielski / Miękka / 250 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The booming increase of the senior population has become a social phenomenon and a challenge to our societies, and technological advances have undoubtedly contributed to improve the lives of elderly citizens in numerous aspects. Technology, however, has largely ignored the human factor and has often viewed the ageing individual as a malfunctioning machine whose deficiencies must be diagnosed - or as a set of limitations to be overcome by means of technological devices. This volume aims at focusing on the subjective needs and fears of human beings deriving from the development and use of...

Yet, much of the time, the influence of technology on our lives goes unchallenged by citizens and our elected representatives. In The Ethics of Invention, renowned scholar Sheila Jasanoff dissects the ways in which we delegate power to technological systems and asks how we might regain control. Our embrace of novel technological pathways, Jasanoff shows,... Technology rules us as much as laws do. It shapes the legal, social, and ethical environments in which we act.
