Excerpt:
“The Facebook interface is filled with numbers that count users’ friends, comments, and “likes.” By combining theories of agency in artworks and materials with a software studies analysis of quantifications in the Facebook interface, this paper examines how these metrics prescribe sociality within the site’s online social network.”
More on the complexities of interwoven agency, and further ‘proof’ that digital technologies are not separate from social practices.
