Announcing a new series of books from The MIT Press


*Acting with Technology*

Bonnie Nardi, Victor Kaptelinin, and Kirsten Foot,
Series Editors


Books published in this new series are concerned with the study of
meaningful human activity as it is mediated by tools and technologies. The
series will explore developments in postcognitivist theory and practice
concerning technology from the fields of sociology, communication,
education, and organizational studies, as well as from science and
technology studies, human-computer interaction and computer-supported
collaborative work. Acting with Technology volumes will encompass
theoretical frameworks including activity theory, actor network theory,
distributed cognition, and those developed through ethnomethodological and
grounded theory approaches. They analyze tool-mediated processes of working,
playing and learning in and across a wide variety of social settings.
Our goal is to publish the best new books—both research monographs and
textbooks—that contribute to a discussion of technology as a crucial facet
of human activity enacted in rich social and physical contexts.
