Platform and Agency

Becoming Who We Are

Beschreibung

This book examines how digital platforms reconfigure the parameters of agency and reflexivity in contemporary social life. Drawing on Margaret Archer's social realist framework, it conceptualizes platforms as distinct sociotechnical structures with emergent properties and powers that shape human action without determining it.
