Abstract

If spreadsheets, the topic of the previous chapter, open up for us the ways in which representational materialities might be braided together with social practice, databases do so in a way that is even more thoroughgoing. Databases are not objects of direct user attention in quite the same way as spreadsheets; fewer people spend their time interacting with them directly.
