Snapchat. WhatsApp. Ashley Madison. Fitbit. Tinder. Periscope. How
do we make sense of how apps like these-and thousands of
others-have embedded themselves into our daily routines, permeating
the background of ordinary life and standing at-the-ready to be
used on our smartphones and tablets? When we look at any single
app, it's hard to imagine how such a small piece of software could
be particularly notable. But if we look at a collection of them, we
see a bigger picture that reveals how the quotidian activities apps
encompass are far from banal: connecting with friends (and
strangers and enemies), sharing memories (and personally
identifying information), making art (and trash), navigating spaces
(and reshaping places in the process). While the sheer number of
apps is overwhelming, as are the range of activities they address,
each one offers an opportunity for us to seek out meaning in the
mundane. Appified is the first scholarly volume to examine
individual apps within the wider historical and cultural context of
media and cultural studies scholarship, attuned to issues of
politics and power, identity and the everyday.
