Haunting Evidence: Mapping Activity Systems in Paranormal Investigation Communities

This extended abstract considers how activity systems and genre ecology mapping offer a useful framework for considering technology-user-documentation interactions. I apply this method for mapping to my current community of interest, paranormal investigators, to better understand how their technology use, interaction with documentation, and values interact to produce evidence of otherwise unseen phenomena.

Abstract

This extended abstract considers how activity systems and genre ecology mapping offer a useful framework for considering technology-user-documentation interactions. I apply this method for mapping to my current community of interest, paranormal investigators, to better understand how their technology use, interaction with documentation, and values interact to produce evidence of otherwise unseen phenomena.
