The contributors include media practices as forms of cultural resistance and subversion, 'DIY cultures', and other non-mainstream models of technology production and consumption. The contributors - leading thinkers in science and technology studies, anthropology, and software design - pay special attention to the specific inflections that different cultures and communities give to the value of knowledge.Infrastructures series.Information technologySocial aspectsTechnological innovationsSocial aspectsCommunity developmentCase studiesInternet and indigenous peoplesComputers and civilizationElectronic books.Information technologySocial aspects.Technological innovationsSocial aspects.Community developmentInternet and indigenous peoples.Computers and civilization.303.4834Wilson Lee1966-Leach James1969-MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910464547103321Subversion, conversion, development2476095UNINA
