This Handbook offers an overview of the thriving and diverse field
of anthropological studies of technology. It features 39 original
chapters, each reviewing the state of the art of current research
and enlivening the field of study through ethnographic analysis of
human-technology interfaces, forms of social organisation,
technological practices and/or systems of belief and meaning in
different parts of the world. The Handbook is organised around some
of the most important characteristics of anthropological studies of
technology today: the diverse knowledge practices that technologies
involve and on which they depend; the communities, collectives, and
categories that emerge around technologies; anthropology's
contribution to proliferating debates on ethics, values, and
morality in relation to technology; and infrastructures that
highlight how all technologies are embedded in broader political
economies and socio-historical processes that shape and often
reinforce inequality and discrimination while also generating
diversity. All chapters share a commitment to human experiences,
embodiments, practices, and materialities in the daily lives of
those people and institutions involved in the development,
manufacturing, deployment, and/or use of particular technologies.
