  3. 2. Bodies in Smartwatches : Embodied Data and Augmented Experiences in Self-Tracking Runners

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för kulturvetenskaper (KV)

    Author : Madelene Logren; [2023]
    Keywords : datafication; human-technology relations; postphenomenology; quantified self; self-tracking; smartwatches;

    Abstract : This thesis investigates the relation between human and smartwatch by exploring the experiences of four Swedish long-distance runners who use digital technology to self-track their running activities. By examining the participating runners’ use of their smartwatches and smartwatch data as postphenomenological human-technology relations (Ihde, 1990), this thesis offers a perspective on the use of wearable self-tracking technology as augmenting human experience through digital data.
