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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\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.Sachi Arafat is Assistant Professor of Data Science at King Abdulaziz University, Saudi Arabia.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eElham Ashoori is a Senior Scientist at Conduent.","brand":"The MIT Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46303984845029,"sku":"NP9780262553476","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9780262553476.jpg?v=1767736238","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/search-foundations-isbn-9780262553476","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
