Repair Work Ethnographies

Revisiting Breakdown, Relocating Materiality

Produktform: E-Buch Text Elektronisches Buch in proprietärem

This pioneering book homes in on repair as an everyday practice. Bringing together exemplary ethnographies of repair work around the world, it examines the politics of repair, its work settings and intricate networks, in and across a wide range of situations, lay and professional. The book evidences the topical relevance of situated inquiry into breakdown, repair, and maintenance for engaging with the contemporary world more broadly.

Hence the point and purpose of closely examining how and when they are fixed.weiterlesen
