Palgrave Pivot9781137571618 1137571616 Includes bibliographical references and indexes.This book provides a practical approach for applying posthumanist insights to qualitative research inquiry. Adams and Thompson invite readers to embrace their inner – and outer – cyborg as they consider how today’s professional practices and everyday ways of being are increasingly intertwined with digital technologies. Drawing on posthuman scholarship, the authors offer eight heuristics for “interviewing objects” in an effort to reveal the unique – and sometimes contradictory – contributions the digital is making to work, learning and living. The heuristics are drawn from Actor Network Theory, phenomenology, postphenomenology, critical media studies and related sociomaterial approaches. This text offers a theoretically informed yet practical approach for asking critical questions of digital and non-digital things in professional and personal spaces, and ultimately, for considering the ethical and political implications of a technology mediated world. A thought-provokingand innovative study, this book will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of technology studies, digital learning, and sociology.Palgrave pivot.CommunicationSociologyMethodologyEthnologyEducational technologyDigital humanitiesMedia and CommunicationSociological MethodsEthnographyDigital Education and Educational TechnologyDigital HumanitiesCommunication.SociologyMethodology.Ethnology.Educational technology.Digital humanities.Media and Communication.Sociological Methods.Ethnography.Digital Education and Educational Technology.Digital Humanities.302.2Adams Catherineauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut873831Thompson Terrie Lynnauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autBOOK9910151579903321Researching a Posthuman World2523078UNINA
