Socjomaterialność technologii komunikacyjnych w codziennych praktykach społecznych
The Socio-Materiality of Communication Technologies in Everyday Social Practices

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to present the effectiveness of communication technologies. This agency is understood in a contextual and relational way, and the tool for its understanding and analysis is the category of socio-materiality in the theory of social practices. Recognizing the socio-material nature of communication technologies, we point to the dimensions of practices such as corporeality, temporality, and spatiality, which, on the one hand, are the context of socio-material agency, and, on the other, constitute the matter that technologies transform. As a result of the analysis, we indicate the features decisive for this agency, going beyond purely communicative functions. The empirical material for the analysis of the socio-material nature of technology involves three types of local everyday social practices: social, food, and neighborly.
