A View of Causation for CSCW: Manipulation and Control in the Material Field of Work.

    Research output: Conference Article in Proceeding or Book/Report chapterBook chapterResearchpeer-review

    Abstract

    In this chapter, we attempt to achieve a better understanding of how cooperative work is partly accomplished by virtue of the actors’ manipulation and control of causal relationships central to their material field of work. Previous CSCW studies have not focused extensively on causation in cooperative work (e.g. see Schmidt and Bannon 2013). Consequently, it is a challenge to find a conception of causation appropriate for the study of cooperative work. This chapter addresses this challenge.
