Abstract:
|
In this paper we analyze scholarship on media and information technologies at the intersection of Communication Studies and Science and Technology Studies. More specifically, we focus on three conceptual bridges that have been especially fruitful in both fields: a) prevailing notions about causality in technology-society relationships, b) the process of technology development, and c) the social consequences of technological change. We begin by defining key terms and concepts, and in subsequent sections move to discussions of causality, process, and consequences. We conclude with a summary of the media and information technologies research landscape framed by the three bridges, and consider the implications of that landscape for continued intellectual dialogue between the two fields. |

Interactivity another fruitful window into the production-consumption relationship has been a locus of STS scholarship since the pioneering work of Suchman (1987). In communication studies interactivity and related concepts such as telepresence and propinquity have been investigated since the 1970s (see Rafaeli 1988; McMillan 2006). 13 This is not a technology research issue that is new in either communication studies or STS as |
