Drawing on the field of digital anthropology, this book takes the form of an immersive ethnography, resulting from 13 months of fieldwork with young dating app users, across Tinder, Bumble, and OkCupid, in Berlin. It argues that dating apps offer, or impose, depending on their context of use, a series of affordances. These affordances, and the technological devices they rely upon, exist through the relation between users and their environment, both in terms of physical spaces and cultural frameworks. The book posits that dating apps are woven into spatial practices and self-narrativization, constituting imagined communities for their users, as well as a canvas, alongside the city of Berlin, against which to characterise romantic experiences. Scholars interested in digital anthropology, ethnography, dating, and regional Berlin will find that Love and Technology offers a vibrant springboard for thinking through both theoretical and methodological concerns"--cProvided by publisher. 0aEthnologyzBerlin.938115 0aCourtshipzBerlin.938116 0aOnline social networks.  a7bcbccorignewd1eecipf20gy-gencatlg  2ddcc1e23n0  c613121d613121  00102ddc4070a2b2d2025-12-30eBombay Books, 451 / 24-11-2025i523051l0o305.800943155 BRO.Fp523051r2025-12-30v42.99w2025-12-30y1z42.99 Pound
