    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Short description:

    This open access book explores the often contradictory relationship between kinship and digital change and upheaval. The authors develop the idea of ‘digital kinship’ as a conceptual avenue through which to examine the role of the digital and wider issues concerning cultural and family practices and routines. The examples outlined in the book confirm the diverse ways in which locative media are incorporated into the daily life of households. The ‘digital,’ ‘visual,’ and ‘playful kinships’ discussed provide three useful methods for exploring this theme by addressing histories and memories. This approach allows the researchers to examine embodied and affective features of mundane everyday life that involve digital media practices.
