Hi Alex,

You might like Ekbia and Nardi’s work on Inverse Instrumentality.

Hi AoIR!

I'm looking for resources on constructions of the user. I know there's some
cultural studies work in this area (e.g., Oudshoorn & Pinch, "How Users
Matter"), but I'm looking for a little more from the technical/design/HCI
side: namely, how users are constructed technically within computational
systems.

Does anyone have any recommendations?

Alex
