{"product_id":"material-culture-and-technology-in-cameron-mccarthy-9781433103018","title":"Material Culture and Technology in Everyday Life: Ethnographic Approaches","description":"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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Cameron McCarthy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 143310301X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781433103018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Lang Inc., International Academic Publi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/06\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.84lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.57d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChronicle of Higher Education\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/13\/2009 pg. 18\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2009 pg. 75","brand":"Cameron McCarthy","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43934921556223,"sku":"9781433103018","price":47.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_3943e3fd-1ed7-4c22-9b63-3a4cd9ffb6f4.jpg?v=1681416821","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/material-culture-and-technology-in-cameron-mccarthy-9781433103018","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
