... As Hartmann (2009) argued, mediatisation and media domestication can be considered closely inter-related processes. While the former points to a complex agglomeration of long-term tendencies in society whereby social practices and behaviours become adapted to media and their affordances, the latter refers to micro-level, everyday processes through which humans appropriate, objectify, incorporate, and convert media and their cultural meanings (see Silverstone et al., 1992).

Inscription, prescription, and users' subscription or de-inscription conceptualized the interplay between the actions of designers and users analogous to how author and readers relate to the script of a play (Akrich 1992;Akrich and Latour 1992;Latour/Johnson 1988). ...
