Abstract

Abstract:In this article, I describe what a practices approach offers to the study of both information and family. I present findings from an empirical study analyzing the intertwining of information and family in the work of “keeping track” in the family context. Findings highlight three interrelated and overlapping ways that the information practices family members engage in both “do” family and define family membership. First, family members may be the object of information practices: keeping track of family. Second, family members might be the audience for information practices: keeping track for family. Finally, family members may engage in collaborative family-related information practices: keeping track with family. Information practices such as keeping track enact family practices and reveal them, both to family members and to outsiders. Looking at the intersection of information and family practices helps information studies scholars to reflect on family life as a context within which information practices take place and prompts us to explore questions to better understand the situatedness of information practices within particular contexts. For information professionals, this work provides insight into the complexity of people’s everyday life information practices.

跟踪家庭:家庭实践和信息实践
摘要:在本文中,我描述了实践方法为信息和家庭研究提供了什么。我提出了一项实证研究的结果,分析了在家庭背景下“跟踪”工作中信息和家庭的相互交织。研究结果强调了家庭成员参与“做”家庭和定义家庭成员的三种相互关联和重叠的信息实践方式。首先,家庭成员可能是信息实践的对象:跟踪家庭。第二,家庭成员可能是信息实践的受众:跟踪家庭。最后,家庭成员可能会参与与家庭相关的协作信息实践:与家人保持联系。诸如跟踪之类的信息实践制定了家庭惯例,并向家庭成员和外部人员披露这些惯例。关注信息和家庭实践的交集有助于信息研究学者将家庭生活作为信息实践发生的背景来反思,并促使我们探索问题,以更好地理解特定背景下信息实践的情境性。对于信息专业人士来说,这项工作提供了对人们日常生活信息实践复杂性的洞察。
