The Material Condition: A Practice Theory-Oriented Infrastructural Turn to the Ethics of Human-AI Communication
This paper calls for an infrastructural turn in human–AI communication, centered on the materiality of generative AI. We argue that a nuanced understanding of ethical implications of generative AI necessitates examining the socio-technical infrastructures that constitute these systems. These infrastructures encompass not only technological artifacts but also human actors (developers, users, data subjects, etc.) and their practices as well as soci…
Ai Industry Expectations and Underperforming Imaginaries
The panel takes up AoIR’s theme of how industry pre-mediates the future of internet technology and its effects and inquiries into alternatives. Utilising ideas from the study of sociotechnical imaginaries, it aims to locate, map, and critically examine AI imaginaries together with counter-imaginaries that engage with and intervene in those of the AI industry. First, it maps the discursive landscape of Big Tech ‘AI talk’ as a means to study ‘new m…
A Feminist Critique of Cybersecurity: Technofeminist Imaginaries of Vulnerability and Care
The internet, in its commercialised and increasingly centralised form, is not safe, particularly for women and non-binary and trans people affected by intersectional patterns of discrimination and oppression. In this article, we investigate how cybersecurity can mitigate or contribute to gendered experiences of insecurity. As a field of practices, discourses and tools, cybersecurity is currently dominated by narrow conceptualisations of security …
Zur Bedeutung von Repair Cafés für die (Etablierung der) Kreislaufwirtschaft
In der Kreislaufwirtschaft wird das Reparieren defekter Dinge als eine zentrale Praktik diskutiert. Reparieren findet heute zunehmend in Repair Cafés statt, öffentlichen Veranstaltungen, in denen Menschen zusammenkommen, um gemeinsam ihre kaputten Konsumgüter wieder in Stand zu setzen und damit die Nutzugsdauer zu verlängern. Der Beitrag zeigt auf der Basis einer empirischen Studie, welche Relevanz das Reparieren im Allgemeinen und Repair Cafés i…
From Millennium Development Goals to Sustainable Development Goals: Transforming development communication to sustainability communication
At the highest international political level, the United Nations declared the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in 2015 after having announced (and later not fulfilled) the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) in 2000. This shift from the MDGs to the SDGs, in which the term development was replaced by the concept of sustainability, also demands a paradigm shift within the research field of development communication and communication for social …
ChatGPT, LaMDA, and the Hype Around Communicative AI: The Automation of Communication as a Field of Research in Media and Communication Studies
The aim of this article is to more precisely define the field of research on the automation of communication, which is still only vaguely discernible. The central thesis argues that to be able to fully grasp the transformation of the media environment associated with the automation of communication, our view must be broadened from a preoccupation with direct interactions between humans and machines to societal communication. This more widely targ…
Critical media practices
This article develops the theoretical concept of critical media practices. Critical media practices are characterised by two aspects: 1) In critical media practices actors reflect on routines relating to media (as organisations, content, or technologies) and/or on the meta processes mediatisation, digitisation or datafication. 2) On the basis of this reflection actors develop alternative routines in their media practices and shape processes of me…
Ermächtigung und Ungleichheit. Zum Verhältnis von Medientechnologie und Geschlecht in digitalen Gesellschaften
Der Artikel diskutiert das Verhältnis von Medientechnologien und Geschlecht in digitalen Gesellschaften. Hierfür wird zum einen die relevante (kommunikations- und medienwissenschaftliche) Geschlechterforschung aufgearbeitet, welche sich mit diesem Verhältnis auseinandersetzt, zum anderen wird das Verhältnis von Medientechnologien und Geschlecht anhand zweier Initiativen diskutiert, in denen sich Menschen kritisch mit Medientechnologien auseinande…
The Politics of Privacy—A Useful Tautology
While communication and media studies tend to define privacy with reference to data security, current processes of datafication and commodification substantially transform ways of how people act in increasingly dense communicative networks. This begs for advancing research on the flow of individual and organizational information considering its relational, contextual and, in consequence, political dimensions. Privacy, understood as the control ov…
Mediatization and the Absence of the Environment
Mediatization remains a key concept for theorizing how our ever-evolving and intensifying media and communications environment underwrites and (re)constructs our social world, yet the socio-ecological effects of mediatization processes remain relatively unacknowledged within this research field. However, mediatization must be conceptualized as a cogent process whose impact extends beyond the confines of the “media environment” to the natural envi…
Engaging with and reflecting on the materiality of digital media technologies: Repair and fair production
How do people think about and engage with the materiality of digital media technologies and thereby try to transform the devices and society? The article discusses this question by presenting the results of two qualitative studies in which people reflect on and engage with the materiality of media technologies. In the first case, the repairing of media devices in Repair Cafés was analyzed, in the second, the focus was on the production and approp…
Acting on Media: Influencing, Shaping and (Re)Configuring the Fabric of Everyday Life
Computerization, digitalization and datafication are by far no neutral or self-dependent occurrences. They are, to a large degree, co-determined by heterogeneous actors who reflect about, construct, configure, manipulate or even control media. The contributors to this issue put the spotlight on these actors and investigate how they influence, shape and (re)configure broader social constellations. Instead of exploring what people do with media , t…

Transkulturelle Intrasektionalität als Perspektive in der geschlechtertheoretischen Migrationsforschung
Die Ansätze der Transkulturalität und Intersektionalität erfahren in verschiedenen Forschungsdisziplinen derzeit einen Boom. Transkulturalität findet v. a. in den Literatur- und Kulturwissenschaft zunehmend Beachtung; Intersektionalität ist ein überwiegend in der Geschlechterforschung diskutiertes Konzept. Beide Ansätze beobachten Prozesse der Identitätskonstruktion: Während Transkulturalität nach Hybridisierungs- und Differenzkonstruktionen inne…
Ethik - Anerkennung - Gerechtigkeit: Philosophische, literarische und gesellschaftliche Perspektiven
Gesellschaftspolitische Entwicklungen und ihre literarischen und medialen Reflexionen werden in der aktuellen wissenschaftlichen Debatte verstärkt im Hinblick auf Fragen nach Ethik, Anerkennung und Gerechtigkeit diskutiert. Unter Rückgriff auf kulturwissenschaftliche und poststrukturalistische Theorien widmen sich die Beiträge des Bandes philosophischen Positionen zur Ethik des Subjekts, misslingender oder verweigerter Anerkennung in gesellschaft…
