Publication Access status: Open Access , Coordinations, or computing is work(2019)We humans spend most of our waking lives working. Our work includes cultural, intellectual, managerial and emotional labour as well as physical toil. And yet, most research carried out by humanities and media scholars implicitly treats the study of work as marginal, uninteresting or as a “mere” sociological topic. Even the study of “digital practices” rarely engages with the specifics of the workplace, despite the importance of distributed micro-practices such as clickworking, filesharing and collaborative editing. Information technology continues to underpin this transformation of work today, as it has in the past.Source Type:ArticleJournal:Media in action : interdisciplinary journal on cooperative mediaVolume number:2019,1-Artikel_06378 104 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Publication Access status: Open Access , Drawing the social : Jacob Levy Moreno, sociometry, and the rise of network diagrammatics(2017)The following article discusses the combination of graphical methods and network thought in early sociology. It combines a case study of Jacob Levy Moreno’s sociometric work and diagrammatic practice with media-theoretical thoughts about the characteristics of network diagrams. These are understood as inscriptions that perform both an act of drawing and writing at the same time. Moreno’s mappings, as well as other early visual techniques of social research, are understood along Michel Serres’ understanding of the network diagram as a topological narration. Seen from the vantage point of a history of knowledge, Moreno’s sociometric and performative practices can not only be understood as a contribution to social network thought, but as actual research on the cooperative character of human interaction.Source Type:BookSeries:Working paper series / SFB 1187 Medien der KooperationVolume number:21 1 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Publication Access status: Open Access , Medien der KooperationDie digital-vernetzten Medien erfordern neue Analysen, Theorien und Geschichten. Sie verändern unseren Blick auf die Geschichte von Infrastrukturen, Öffentlichkeiten und Medienpraktiken. Was wären Ansätze für eine Medientheorie, die praktischen „skills“ des Mediengebrauchs,seiner soziotechnischen Materialität und den bürokratischen wie epistemischen Qualitäten der Medien gerecht wird? Die vorliegende Ausgabe 1/2015 der Navigationen widmet sich Medien als kooperativ bewerkstelligten Kooperationsbedingungen. Sie erbringen, so die These, konstitutive Vermittlungsleistungen zwischen der Organisation von Arbeit, Praktiken des Infrastrukturierens und der Genese von Öffentlichkeiten in wechselseitiger Interaktion.Source Type:Periodical PartJournal:Navigationen - Zeitschrift für Medien- und KulturwissenschaftenVolume number:15,12 1 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Publication Access status: Open Access , Practice as a collective and knowledgeable doingThis paper explores the relationship between knowledge and practice, knowledgeable practices, knowing in practice and knowledge as a situated activity. It traces a tradition of sociological thought in practice theories that derives from studies of scientifc knowledge and that challenges the conventional understanding of the ‘social’ as human-centred. The understanding of practice is grounded in an actor-network approach and in feminist Science and Technology Studies. In fact, the precursors of the empirical study of knowing in situ were the so-called laboratory studies, and section 1 presents their contributions to the study of knowledge practices. Later, section 2 proposes a post- humanist practice theory that joins other post-epistemologies in the project of decentring the human subject as the main source of action and moving from a formulation of practice theory as ‘humans and their practices’ to a vision of practice as the entanglement of humans, materialities, discourses, knowledges and any other relevant element in the situated activities. The aim of the paper is to interpret practice as an empirical phenomenon; therefore, sections 3, 4 and 5 illustrate the core assumptions: i) the sensory and elusive knowledges embedded in knowing in practice; ii) realities as enacted in practices; and iii) interdependent practices as woven in a texture of practices.Source Type:BookDOI:10.25819/ubsi/40Series:Working paper series / SFB 1187 Medien der KooperationVolume number:8786 457
