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. 410 0$aInfrastructures series. 606 $aInformation technology$xSocial aspects 606 $aTechnological innovations$xSocial aspects 606 $aCommunity development$vCase studies 606 $aInternet and indigenous peoples 606 $aComputers and civilization 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aInformation technology$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aTechnological innovations$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aCommunity development 615 0$aInternet and indigenous peoples. 615 0$aComputers and civilization. 676 $a303.4834 702 $aWilson$b Lee$f1966- 702 $aLeach$b James$f1969- 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910464547103321 996 $aSubversion, conversion, development$92476095 997 $aUNINA
