What makes scraping methodologically interesting for social and cultural research?This paper seeks to contribute debates about digital research by exploring how a 'medium-specific' technique online data capture may be rendered analytically productive research.As device that is currently being imported into research, has the capacity re-structure this in at least two ways.Firstly, as not native risks introduce 'alien' methodological assumptions (such an pre-occupation with...
This article discusses methodological approaches to app studies, focusing on their embeddedness and situatedness within multiple infrastructural settings. Our approach involves close attention the multivalent affordances of apps as software packages, particularly capacity enter into diverse groupings relations depending different situations. The changing situations they evoke participate in, accordingly, make visible accountable in a variety unique ways. Therefore, engaging with even staging...
This paper enquires into the politics of real-time in online media. It suggests that cannot be accounted for as a universal temporal frame which events happen, but explores making from device perspective focusing on temporalities platforms.

When looking for information on Wikipedia, Internet users generally just read the latest version of an article. However, in its back-end there is much more: associated to each article are edit history and talk pages, which together entail full evolution.
