    Abstract

    Recently, in response to an empirical turn within the discipline, ethnographic methodologies have become even more fundamental to cultural studies research. Among those methodologies is the one we describe here in its application to the study of portable communication technologies: cultural phenomenology. In its phenomenological focus, our approach is framed by the premise that every human-technology relation is a body-technology relation, invoking certain kinds of being-in-the-world, as well as as of knowing and making that world.
