I've also posted an structure for the framework paper on the etherpad. Feel free to edit/add/etc. Here it is as well:

structure for paper:

Introduction

Main issue: need to link local embodied interactions with technologies to larger, socio-structural aspects, but difficult to do so because of typical approaches to objects. paper lays out analytic framework that provides both conceptual and pragmatic guidance (use to think about objects and also to design them.

Initial suppositions: not objects, but object relations. need to cross scales. Address different dynamics of life world. Space is a concern as is time. Object relations can be analytically distinguished by how the relate to space, time, and organization (of people and environment).

Examples from individual cases - demonstrate need (rfid system, digital annotation, color standard, etc)

Objects in social theory

How are objects traditionally considered? The commodity (Marx), the gift (Mauss), the fetish (Levi-Strauss), the thing (Heidegger), the prop (Goffman).

How have objects been more recently considered? the inscription (Akrich, Latour), the epistemic object (Rheinberger, Knorr-Cetina), the tool (Vygotsky, Engestrom).

Note that in all cases objects understood in relation to practice - exchange, codification, ritual, self-exploration, etc.

Patterns begin to emerge: links between object definitions and specific dynamics of space, time, and organization. Most cross boundaries in use, but can be analytically distinguished:

Analytic Framework:

Enact

Perform

Transact

Problems with this? Yes, if considered as 'real' but as analytic tool can be helpful both methodologically and pragmatically.

methodologically - how do various concepts of object focus attention on particular socio-temporo-spatial dynamics either singular (e.g. commodity on transactive - insitutional, durable, distance relations) or bridging (inscription as attempt to link enactive - individual, ephemeral, local relations, to transactive.)

Pragmatic - return to cases. How helps think, make decisions about:

annotation

rfid system

color standard

Therefore, provides way to link:

critique and practice - how? objectivising, objectification, etc?

socio-temporal alignments

socio-structural difference as generated through object practices and affordances as thus open to different forms of critique/intervention.
