Technology-mediated experience accounts for an increasing proportion of human lived experience; the phenomenon of mediation gets at the heart of the human-machine relationship. Framing IR\u0026amp;S more broadly in this way generalizes its problems and perspectives, dovetailing them with those shared across disciplines dealing with socio-technical phenomena. This reorientation of IR\u0026amp;S requires imagining it as a new kind of science: a science of technology-mediated experience (STME). Arafat and Ashoori not only offer detailed analysis of the foundational concepts underlying IR\u0026amp;S and other technical disciplines but also boldly call for a radical, systematic appropriation of the sciences and humanities to create a better understanding of the human-technology relationship. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eArafat and Ashoori discuss the notion of progress in IR\u0026amp;S and consider ideas of progress from the history and philosophy of science. They argue that progress in IR\u0026amp;S requires explicit linking between technical and nontechnical aspects of discourse. They develop a network of basic questions and present a discursive framework for addressing these questions. With this book, Arafat and Ashoori provide both a manifesto for the reimagining of their field and the foundations on which a reframed IR\u0026amp;S would rest.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSachi Arafat is Assistant Professor of Data Science at King Abdulaziz University, Saudi Arabia. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eElham Ashoori is a Senior Scientist at Conduent.\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 448\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 04, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51781324898592,"sku":"9780262553476","price":135.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/182fd1950df73edcac2fe23ff2eef478.webp?v=1780547862","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/search-foundations-toward-a-science-of-technology-mediated-experience-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
