Love and Technology: An Ethnography of Dating App Users in Berlin delves into the intricate interplay between dating apps and the unique dating culture of Berlin, exploring how these platforms shape and influence romantic relationships and digital intimacies within the city's urban landscape. Drawing upon the field of digital anthropology, this book takes the form of an immersive ethnography, spanning 13 months of fieldwork with young dating app users across Tinder, Bumble, and OkCupid in Berlin. Through this comprehensive research, the book argues that dating apps offer a range of affordances, both enabling and constraining interactions based on their specific contexts of use. These affordances, in turn, are deeply intertwined with the technological devices upon which they rely, shaping the ways in which users navigate the dating landscape and establish connections with others.
The book posits that dating apps are intricately woven into spatial practices and self-narrativization, creating imagined communities for their users and serving as a backdrop against which to characterize romantic experiences in Berlin. Scholars interested in digital anthropology, ethnography, dating, and regional Berlin will find this work to be a rich source of insights and inspiration, offering a vibrant platform for exploring theoretical and methodological concerns related to these fields.
