Cultural Technologies - The Shaping of Culture in Media and Society (Hardcover, New)

The essays in this volume discuss both the culture of technology that we live in today, and culture as technology. Within the chapters of the book cultures of technology and cultural technologies are discussed, focussing on a variety of examples, from varied national contexts. The book brings together internationally recognised scholars from the social sciences and humanities, covering diverse themes such as intellectual property, media and architecture, satellite debris, server farms and search engines, art installations, surveillance, peer-to-peer file-sharing, the construction of techno-history and much more. It contains both historical and contemporary analyses of technological phenomena as well as epistemological discussions on the uses of technology.
