"Consuming Tecnologies" opens for analysis some crucial but rarely
examined areas of social, cultural and economic life. At its core
is a concern with the complex set of relationships that mark and
define the place of the domestic in the modern world, and an
explanation of the relationship between the domestic and public
spheres as they are mediated by consumption and technology. Debate
over the commodification and privatization of everyday life has
been preoccupied with the impact of technological change on
established social structures and cultural values. Yet much of the
discussion has lacked any substantive empirical work on the
understanding of modern industrial society: on the nature of
consumption, and the contradictory significance of the domestic
sphere. The contributors address these questions with a series of
essays suggesting that in essence, information and communication
technologies require us to see them as social and symbolic as well
as material objects, crucially embedded in the structures and
dynamics of our consumer culture.
