{"product_id":"building-relationships-dawn-shepherd-9781498535830","title":"Building Relationships: Online Dating and the New Logics of Internet Culture","description":"Matchmaking is a tradition as old as marriage itself, and the activities and practices surrounding it have shifted alongside marriage. Building Relationships: Online Dating and the New Logics of Internet Culture uses an apparatus approach to media analysis to examine logics of compatibility, online dating site procedures, and user narratives of popular matchmaking sites. Shepherd's investigation serves as a case study to help understand the larger relationship between contemporary identity and what she calls matching technologies, as well as the complex of big data, computational processing, and the cultural assumptions that power today's most popular web applications.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dawn Shepherd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1498535836\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781498535830\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lexington Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 172\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.60d","brand":"Dawn Shepherd","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44756731265279,"sku":"9781498535830","price":47.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a051d4b1-8630-4eac-9bd4-524b029097fe.jpg?v=1706593714","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/building-relationships-dawn-shepherd-9781498535830","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
