| 书目名称 | The Digitizing Family | | 副标题 | An Ethnography of Me | | 编辑 | Geoffrey Hobbis | | 视频video | | | 概述 | One of the first book-length efforts to address the lack of scholarship on digital material cultures and societies in Oceania.Contributes to key debates in anthropological engagements with technology, | | 图书封面 |  | | 描述 | .At once a digital ethnography of smartphones and a classically conceived village-based ethnography, this book relocates the study of digital technologies to rural Melanesia, with a focus on the Lau of Malaita, Soloman Islands. In this ‘technography’, Geoffrey Hobbis studies the materiality and functional attributes of smartphones and their object biographies—modes of acquisition, maintenance, uses, limitations and the problems specific to this region in adopting and adapting smartphones in everyday life. As he examines the various uses of smartphones, as both telephone and multimedia device, Hobbis also explores the social and cultural transformations, the hopes and uncertainties, with which they are associated. Ultimately, in bringing together a study of digital technologies with classical anthropological theory, .The Digitizing Family. develops a theory of smartphones as kinship technologies and supercompositional objects. . | | 出版日期 | Book 2020 | | 关键词 | digital anthropology; kinship studies; anthropology of technology; material culture; pacific studies; Ind | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-34929-5 | | isbn_softcover | 978-3-030-34931-8 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-030-34929-5 | | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerl |
