media studies and philosophy, anthropology has, so far, mostly focussed on their agencies from a human-centred perspective. This talk examines the contributions, possibilities, difficulties and limits posed by an ethnography of technical objects which could
document how their functioning both actualises and generates relations which, whilst still concerning humans, extend to their whole milieus. Drawing on examples from Papua New Guinea and observations of the relations between networked printers at our university,
as well as based in the emerging field of anthropology of technics, the talk will present elements of what could help develop an ethnography of technical objects, as parts of a future project.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
