Abstract

"The internet has become embedded into our daily lives, no longer an esoteric phenomenon, but instead an unremarkable way of carrying out our interactions with one another. Online and offline are interwoven in everyday experience. Using the internet has become accepted as a way of being present in the world, rather than a means of accessing some discrete virtual domain. Ethnographers of these contemporary internet-infused societies consequently find themselves facing serious methodological dilemmas: where should they go, what should they do there and how can they acquire robust knowledge about what people do in, through and with the internet? This book presents an overview of the challenges faced by ethnographers who wish to understand activities that involve the internet. Suitable for both new and experienced ethnographers, it explores both methodological principles and practical strategies for coming to terms with the definition of field sites, the connections between online and offline and the changing nature of embodied experience. Examples are drawn from a wide range of settings, including ethnographies of scientific institutions, television and social media, and locally-based gift-giving networks."--

Abstract

For all the use scientists make of computers in their work, we still know little about how computing affects their working methods and the knowledge they produce. Christine Hine explores these questions by examining the developing use of information technology in one discipline, systematics (the classification of organisims).

Abstract

Christine Hine rejects the postmodernist reading of the Internet as a site for playfulness and the end of authenticity. She argues that the Internet is both a site for cultural formations and a cultural artefact.

Abstract

"Digital work is organizationally, interpretively, spatially and temporally complex. An array of innovative methodologies have begun to emerge to capture these activities, whether through re-purposing existing tools, devising entirely novel methods or mixing old and new. This book brings together some of these techniques in one volume as a sourcebook for management, business, organizational and work researchers pursuing projects in this field. The specific objectives of this book are to: present a range of innovative methods which capture and analyse digitally-related work practices through reflexive accounts of real world research projects; provide an accessible sourcebook of these methods for the business and management research community; elucidate the range of challenges such methods may raise for research practice, outlining debates and recommendations; and provide further reading and information to support research practice. The book is organised in four sections that reflect researchers' different areas of focus and methodological approaches: working with screens; digital working practices; distributed work and organizing; and digital traces of work. Each chapter provides a reflexive account of researchers' own experiences in developing methods that capture digital aspects of work and organization. We conclude by reflecting on the future of research given the current intensification of digital work during a global pandemic that is impacting all aspects of our lives"--
