@article{Hopkins_2013, title={Assembling affordances: towards a theory of relational affordances}, volume={3}, url={https://spir.aoir.org/ojs/index.php/spir/article/view/8435}, abstractNote={Drawn from a long-term ethnographic research into personal blogging, this paper proposes a theoretical approach to the issue of materiality and culture in technology that combines the concept of affordances and that of Deleuze & Guattariā€™s concept of assemblage. Highlighting the relational aspect of these concepts, a list of blog affordances is proposed. These can provide a basis for further analysis of blogs as well as other internet media forms.}, journal={AoIR Selected Papers of Internet Research}, author={Hopkins, Julian}, year={2013}, month={Oct.} }
