these two reading groups/lists (in an STSish vein) may be of interest http://itu.dk/tip/?p=1834 //IT University of Copenhagen http://tcrgmelbourne.wordpress.com/ //Melbourne Uni -- Susanne Pratt, Ph.D. Candidate Journalism and Media Research Centre @ UNSW http://susannepratt.com/ On Wed, Mar 5, 2014 at 7:08 PM, Anders Fagerjord < anders.fagerjord@media.uio.no> wrote:
Dear Rich,
I think you would be interested in, and possibly provoked by, a text by Bruno Latour. For example, Latour, B. (2005). Reassembling the social: An introduction to Actor-network-theory. Oxford: Oxford University Press.
All the best,

Dear all,
I am trying to think of a readings list on technology and society. I want to have a bit of a bias towards communication, but that it not the only technology. I have put together the following list. The two areas that I realize I don't have much on is steam technology (is there a book similar to Eisenstein for steam?) and transport/automobilism. These are mostly books. Key articles are also of interest.
My current list (starting with the older technologies) is as follows:
· The Printing press as a agent of change, Eisenstein
· Shaping the day, Glennie and Thrift
· Latitude, Sobel
· The Victorian internet, Standage
· The Control Revolution, Beniger
· Technics and civilization, Mumford
· Electrifying America: Social meanings of a new technology, David Nye
· When old technologies were new, Marvin
· The social construction of technical systems, Bijker
· America Calling, Fischer
· Crabgrass Frontier, Jackson
· Virtual communities, Rheingold
· The rise of the network society, Castells
· 6 Degrees, Watts
· Taken for grantedness (maybe New Tech, New Ties), Ling
· Configuring the User as Everybody: Oudshoorn, Rommes, Stinestra
· Sociology beyond societies, Urry
· In the Age of the Smart Machine, Zuboff
· Play between worlds, Taylor
· Where the action is, Dourish
