Exploring Digital Significance Through Postphenomenology: Human-Technology Connections and Dynamic Material Analysis

EasyChair Preprint 14794

Abstract

This article explores digital value creation through a postphenomenological approach, focusing on human-technology relationships and employing dynamic material hermeneutics as a methodological framework. The study investigates how digital technologies mediate human experiences and shape societal values, emphasizing their evolving nature and recursive interactions with users. By examining the dynamic interplay between digital artifacts and human interpretation, the research aims to uncover the processes through which digital goods acquire and transform their meaning and value. We highlight the co-constitutive relationship between technology and human agency, revealing how digital artifacts are continuously reshaped by both technological advancements and user engagement. This study contributes to the growing body of knowledge on digital value creation by offering a nuanced understanding of the technological mediation of human experience. The findings demonstrate the importance of considering both technological affordances and human factors in analyzing digital value creation, providing a comprehensive framework for future research in the field of technology studies.

Keyphrases: Digital Value Creation, Dynamic Material Hermeneutics, Recursive Digital Technologies, co-constitution, digital artifacts, human-technology interaction, postphenomenology, technological mediation, technology studies, user engagement
