Cultural cosmologies of the Internet : situating digital networked technologies in diverse moral universes

![CDATA[This panel explores the ways in which cosmological understandings shape social orientations of trust towards techno-bureaucratic systems. We ask how people negotiate, resist and refuse through the diverse moral universes that arise from the conditions in which people find themselves. The approach we take is informed by scholarship that considers technological practices and how they are embedded in social and cultural cosmologies (Burrell 2012; Horst & Foster 2018; Miller et. al. 2016). Behavior and choices are guided by moral values that emerge ultimately from a cosmology—a culturally patterned view of the universe and the human place within it (Wilk and Cligett, 2009: 44). The papers in this panel contextualise technological practices that may be considered good, appropriate and right, bad, destructive and malign within moral models of behaviour, articulating tensions of trust.]]
