From race, sex, class, and culture, the multidisciplinary field of
Internet studies needs theoretical and methodological approaches
that allow us to question the organization of social relations that
are embedded in digital technologies, and that foster a clearer
understanding of how power relations are organized through
technologies. Representing a scholarly dialogue among established
and emerging critical media and information studies scholars, this
volume provides a means of foregrounding new questions, methods,
and theories which can be applied to digital media, platforms, and
infrastructures. These inquiries include, among others, how
representation to hardware, software, computer code, and
infrastructures might be implicated in global economic, political,
and social systems of control. Contributors argue that more
research needs to explicitly trace the types of uneven power
relations that exist in technological spaces. By looking at both
the broader political and economic context and the many digital
technology acculturation processes as they are differentiated
intersectionally, a clearer picture emerges of how
under-acknowledging culturally situated and gendered information
technologies are impacting the possibility of participation with
(or purposeful abstinence from) the Internet. This book is ideal
for undergraduate and graduate courses in Internet studies, library
and information studies, communication, sociology, and psychology.
It is also ideal for researchers with varying expertise and will
help to advance theoretical and methodological approaches to
Internet research.
