In recent years, scholarship around media technologies has finally shed the assumption that these technologies are separate from and powerfully determining of social life, looking at them instead as produced by and embedded in distinct social, cultural, and political practices. Communication and media scholars have increasingly taken theoretical perspectives originating in science and technology studies (STS), while some STS scholars interested in information technologies have linked their research to media studies inquiries into the symbolic dimensions of these tools. In this volume, scholars from both fields come together to advance this view of media technologies as complex sociomaterial phenomena.
The contributors first address the relationship between materiality and mediation, considering such topics as the lived realities of network infrastructure. The contributors then highlight media technologies as always in motion, held together through the minute, unobserved work of many, including efforts to keep these technologies alive.

評分L梳理STS關於技術決定論和社會建構論之爭的曆史及針對論爭先後或同時齣現的四種調節方案。返迴到傳播技術研究再次梳理,從媒介效果到媒介理論,範圍涉及英美,其它地區稍有涉及。最後提齣mediation的模型,勾連技術物/再配置、實踐/再中介和社會歸置/再型構。以哈奇比對示能的解釋為支撐,其為示能所提的功能性、關係性和學習性與前述三組關係一一對應。傳播技術研究最後能藉助mediation超越決定論,抵達技術的多麵嚮復雜性,其中technology as communication made durable,而不再僅是拉圖所說的technology is society made durable.
