Pedagogical Anthropology of Technology - Practices, Objects and Ways of Life

The volume examines the question of which specifically educational techniques are required in view of the increasing establishment and professionalization of pedagogical fields of work. In this context, an attempt is made to clarify what pedagogical and didactic preparation must take place for an increasingly technically oriented world. In addition, the everyday techniques of self-care are analyzed. And finally, pedagogical anthropology is also concerned with the question of who is the subject and object of technology.
