Inhaltsangabe

This book provides an overview of a key concept in media and technology studies: domestication. Theories around domestication shed light upon the process in which a technology changes its status from outrageous novelty to an aspect of everyday life which is taken for granted. The contributors collect past, current and future applications of the concept of domestication, critically reflect on its theoretical legacy, and offer comments about further development.
The first part of Domestication of Media and Technology provides an overview of the conceptual development and theory of domestication. In the second part of the book, contributors look at a diverse range of empirical studies that use the domestication approach to examine the dynamics between users and technologies. These studies include:
Mobile information and communications techologies (ICTs) and the transformation of the relationship between private and the public spheres
Home-based internet use: the two-way dynamic between the household and its social environment
Disadvantaged women in Europe undertaking introductory internet courses
Urban middle-class families in China who embrace ICTs and view them as instruments of upward mobility and symbols of success
The book offers valuable insights for both experienced researchers and students looking for an introduction to the concept of domestication.
