Explorations of design, use, and reuse of information technology in diverse historical and cultural contexts.
This book explores alternative cultural encounters with and around information technologies. These encounters are alternative because they counter dominant, Western-oriented notions of media consumption; they include media practices as forms of cultural resistance and subversion, DIY cultures, and other nonmainstream models of technology production. The contributorsleading thinkers in science and technology studies, anthropology, and software designpay special attention to the specific inflections that different cultures and communities give to the value of knowledge. The richly detailed accounts presented here challenge the dominant view of knowledge as a neutral goodinformation available for representation and encoding but separated from all social relations.
The chapters examine specific cases in which the forms of knowledge and cross-cultural encounters are shaping technology use and development. They consider design, use, and reuse of technological tools, including databases, GPS devices, books, and computers, in locations that range from Australia and New Guinea to Germany and the United States.
