Reflections on representations for infrastructural studies in the field of DCP
Myriam Lewkowicz, Eddie Soulier · 2004
“Information infrastructures provide the tools—words, categories, information processing procedures—with which we can generate and manipulate knowledge. They also reify particular configurations of work practice by shaping the world within which tools can be used. Both the silences and the explicit categories are important for linking work and infrastructure— infrastructure development is both social and informatic.” (Star, Bowker, 1995)
