Love and Technology: An Ethnography of Dating App Users in Berlin
explores how dating apps fit into Berlin’s unique dating culture
and brand of intimacy, and form a tangible nucleus around which
users navigate dating rituals, romantic biographies, and digitally
mediated intimacies within city space. Drawing on the field of
digital anthropology, this book takes the form of an immersive
ethnography, resulting from 13 months of fieldwork with young
dating app users, across Tinder, Bumble, and OkCupid, in Berlin. It
argues that dating apps offer, or impose, depending on their
context of use, a series of affordances. These affordances, and the
technological devices they rely upon, exist through the relation
between users and their environment, both in terms of physical
spaces and cultural frameworks. The book posits that dating apps
are woven into spatial practices and self-narrativization,
constituting imagined communities for their users, as well as a
canvas, alongside the city of Berlin, against which to characterise
romantic experiences. Scholars interested in digital anthropology,
ethnography, dating, and regional Berlin will find that Love and
Technology offers a vibrant springboard for thinking through both
theoretical and methodological concerns.
