Focusing on the technoculture of everyday life, this book attempts
to zero in on the simplicity and the habitual character of the
interaction between humans and material objects, which is often
assumed or taken for granted. Because objects are always meaningful
in the pragmatic use to which they are directed, the material world
of everyday life can be seen as a technoculture of its own - one
made of behaviors as simple, and yet as significant, as using a
lawnmower, or decorating one's body. In discussing the unique
methodological components of the ethnography of the technoculture
of everyday life, this book begins a dialogue on how we can examine
- from the participants' perspective - the interconnections between
social agents, their technological/material practices, their
material objects or technics, and their social and material
environment.
