近年来，围绕媒体技术的学术研究终于摆脱了这样的假设，即这些技术独立于社会生活并有力地决定着社会生活，转而将它们视为由不同的社会、文化和政治实践产生并嵌入其中。传播和媒体学者越来越多地采用源自科学技术研究 (STS) 的理论观点，而一些对信息技术感兴趣的 STS 学者将他们的研究与媒体研究联系起来，对这些工具的符号维度进行探究。在本书中，来自两个领域的学者齐聚一堂，提出了媒体技术作为复杂的社会物质现象的观点。贡献者首先讨论了物质性和中介之间的关系，考虑了网络基础设施的现实现实等主题。然后，撰稿人强调了媒体技术始终处于动态状态，在许多人不为人知的工作中凝聚在一起，包括为保持这些技术的活力所做的努力。撰稿人Pablo J.

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.ContributorsPablo J.
