Lupton, within the framework of which important sociocultural and political aspects of mobile applications are analyzed. Within the political economy approach, the emphasis is on macro-political parameters: these are social, economic, political structures (age, gender, social class, sexual orientation, race / ethnicity, geographic location), and institutions (workplace, educational institutions, family, economy, Media, etc.). Within a Foucauldian approach, researchers often combine micro- and macro-political dimensions to understand the biopolitical dimension of applications. A micropolitical focus is used by researchers within a sociomaterial approach to explore people's lived experiences of using apps.
