Researching Complex Information Infrastructures Design Characteristics of ICT Tools for Examining Modern Technology Usage

Medien der Kooperation Series editor Erhard Schüttpelz, Siegen, Germany

Digital vernetzte Medien werden als kooperative Werkzeuge, Plattformen und Infrastrukturen gestaltet, die bestehende Öffentlichkeiten transformieren und neue Öffentlichkeiten ermöglichen. Sie sind nicht mehr als Einzelmedien zu verstehen, sondern verlangen eine praxistheoretische Auffassung der Medien und ihrer Geschichte. Alle Medien sind kooperativ verfertigte Kooperationsbedingungen. Ihre Praktiken und Techniken entstehen aus der wechselseitigen Verfertigung und Bereitstellung gemeinsamer Mittel und Abläufe. Darum verläuft die Erforschung digitaler Medien quer zur gängigen wissenschaftlichen Arbeitsteilung und verlangt eine gezielte Engführung von Medientheorie und Sozialtheorie. Digital network media are designed as cooperative tools, platforms and infrastructures which transform existing publics and give rise to new ones. Digital media can no longer be understood as individual media, but demand a practice-theoretical perspective on media and their history. All media are cooperatively accomplished devices of cooperation. Media practices and techniques evolve from the mutual making of shared resources and joint processes. That’s why the study of digital media disturbs our scientific division of labour and remains a challenge for the intersections between media theory and social theory.
