	abstract = {As people live their lives online more and more, they increasingly rely on digital bodies to extend their senses and to perform identities. With this hybridization of physical and digital embodiments, they become cyborgs and are compelled to negotiate the dualistic space defined by the binary opposition of actual and virtual reality. Whereas actuality typically connotes concrete existence, virtuality signifies phenomena that are ideal, essential and unrealized but that have actual effects.},

	abstract = {Mainstream discussions of research validity (truth, significance, objectivity) draw heavily on a certain {\textquoteleft}{\textquoteleft}representational idiom{\textquoteright}{\textquoteright} of science [1] that assumes a knowledge{\textendash}reality correspondence. However, for research on practices, rather than nature, such a knowledge-reality distinction is neither feasible nor desirable, as it is at odds with the very notion of a {\textquoteleft}{\textquoteleft}practice{\textquoteright}{\textquoteright}. Drawing on Pickering{\textquoteright}s alternative {\textquoteleft}{\textquoteleft}performative idiom{\textquoteright}{\textquoteright} for science, and extending it to participatory forms of social research, we propose alternative validity claims for practice-oriented research. Using the example of information infrastructuring practices, we show that the three aspects of validity thus reinterpreted become quite closely related to each other and also to the process of information infrastructuring itself. In so doing, we demonstrate the importance of extending the notion of {\textquoteleft}{\textquoteleft}material agency{\textquoteright}{\textquoteright} to embrace the dual agencies of the practice studied and the researcher{\textquoteright}s own disciplinary practice.},

	abstract = {Grid technologies are widely regarded as important innovations for drawing together distributed knowledge workers into virtual communities. After reviewing the developments in e-science, we examine the emergence of e-social science and the potential impact on scientific discovery. Grids are currently in a key developmental phase during which the field of information systems can bring significant insight. We consider what is new about the Grid phenomena and discuss the issues raised by this particular approach to the virtualization of research practices. Our analysis is organized into three subsections that focus on: developments in e-social science research methods; the theoretical issues involved in pursuing an e-social science agenda; as well as the status and nature of the research materials that it gives rise to in information systems.},
