Materiality of Cooperation - Sebastian Gießmann - Bog

The volume investigates the socio-material dimension and media practices of cooperation - before, during and beyond situations. Cooperation is understood as reciprocal interplay operating with or without consensus, in co-presence or absence of the involved actors in distributed situations. Artefacts, bodies, texts and infrastructures are the media that make cooperation possible. They enable and configure reciprocal accomplishments - and are themselves created through media practices in cooperative situations.
