Technics of Time: Values in Future Internet Development --IndexDigital media everyday inscribe new patterns of time, promising instant communication, synchronous collaboration, intricate time management, and profound new advantages in speed. The essays in this volume reconsider these outward interfaces of convenience by calling attention to their supporting infrastructures, the networks of digital time that exert pressures of conformity and standardization on the temporalities of lived experience and have important ramifications for social relations, stratifications of power, practices of cooperation, and ways of life. Interdisciplinary in method and international in scope, the volume draws together insights from media and communication studies, cultural studies, and science and technology studies while staging an important encounter between two distinct approaches to the temporal patterning of media infrastructures, a North American strain emphasizing the social and cultural experiences of lived time and a European tradition, prominent especially in Germany, focusing on technological time and time-critical processes.Recursions: theories of media, materiality, and cultural techniquesPhilosophydigital technology, infrastructures, media, temporal politics, time.Philosophy.070.4Bowker Geoffrey C.ctbhttps://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctbPeters John Durhamctbhttps://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctbErnst Wolfgangctbhttps://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctbGopinath Sumanth S.ctbhttps://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctbHodge James J.ctbhttps://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctbHui Yuk1985-ctbhttps://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctbJohnston Andrew Rctbhttps://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctbCohn Marisa Leavittctbhttps://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctbMonea Alexanderctbhttps://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctbNyckel Eva-Mariactbhttps://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctbOtto Isabellctbhttps://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctbParis Britt S.ctbhttps://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctbSchabacher Gabriele1967-ctbhttps://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctbSprenger Florianctbhttps://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctbStarosielski Nicole1984-ctbhttps://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctbStine Kyleedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtJahn-Sudmann Andreas1974-ctbhttps://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctbVolmar Axeledthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtDE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910500588903321Media Infrastructures and the Politics of Digital Time2426104UNINA
