> How may internet use be related to social and cultural change? Debates
> on this question have proliferated. Yet, conceptions of change in such
> debates have remained conspicuously under-theorized. This book
> approaches these issues through anthropological research among
> 'teleworkers', people working via internet from their homes in rural
> Denmark. Through a rich ethnography of paid work as a cultural
> practice, and drawing on social science studies of knowledge, it
> develops a theory of cultural process and change, where particular
> attention is devoted to the materiality of internet use, and to
> situated experience, reflection, and agency. The study suggests that
> telework is mostly practiced informally, and that this form of
> flexible work is more prevalent than commonly assumed. Against
> conventional assertions that flexible work promotes alienation, the
> study argues for a more complex picture, where the cultural conception
> of 'work' is incrementally changed through new practices of economic
> engagement.
