The spatial emphasis of the essays is north European and Atlantic since they deal with the countries around the North Sea and Baltic with some coverage of North America. The phrase work at sea naturally makes one think of merchant seafaring and its ancillary trades but, again, several authors in this book deal with navies and naval personnel as important constituents of the seagoing workforce. Indeed, from time to time the authors leave the sea behind in order to examine broader issues such as labor markets, the regulation and institutions of seafaring, and industrial relations on the waterfront. But at all points there is a common theme of sea-related labor, and a common objective of better understanding what have often been perceived as difficult and elusive groups of people. Marcus Rediker was surely correct in a recent essay to stress the challenge of producing more inclusive maritime historical research: We need to get back to basics, to careful empirical reconstructions of the lifeways of peoples long rendered silent in the writing of history. 606 $aMerchant mariners$xSupply and demand$zEurope$xHistory 606 $aMerchant mariners$xSupply and demand$zNorth America$xHistory 606 $aMerchant marine$zEurope$xHistory 606 $aMerchant marine$zNorth America$xHistory 615 0$aMerchant mariners$xSupply and demand$xHistory. 615 0$aMerchant mariners$xSupply and demand$xHistory. 615 0$aMerchant marine$xHistory. 615 0$aMerchant marine$xHistory. 676 $a331.7613875 702 $aGorski$b Richard$f1971- 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910807449503321 996 $aMaritime labour$94001421 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03063nam 22006135 450 001 9910484218703321 005 20250609110817.0 010 $a9783030490799 010 $a3030490793 024 7 $a10.1007/978-3-030-49079-9 035 $a(CKB)4100000011372944 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC6286287 035 $a(DE-He213)978-3-030-49079-9 035 $a(Perlego)3481401 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC6285990 035 $a(EXLCZ)994100000011372944 100 $a20200807d2020 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aEnhancing Digital Equity $eConnecting the Digital Underclass /$fby Massimo Ragnedda 205 $a1st ed. 2020. 210 1$aCham :$cSpringer International Publishing :$cImprint: Palgrave Macmillan,$d2020. 215 $a1 online resource (114 pages) 225 1 $aPalgrave pivot 311 08$a9783030490782 311 08$a3030490785 327 $a1. Theorizing Inequalities -- 2. Old digital inequalities: Digital Divide -- 3. New digital Inequalities: Algorithms divide -- 4. Connecting the digital Underclass -- 5. Conclusions. 330 $aThis book highlights how, in principle, digital technologies present an opportunity to reduce social disparities, tackle social exclusion, enhance social and civil rights, and promote equity. However, to achieve these goals, it is necessary to promote digital equity and connect the digital underclass. The book focuses on how the advent of technologies may become a barrier to social mobility and how, by concentrating resources and wealth in few hands, the digital revolution is giving rise to the digital oligarchy, further penalizing the digital underclass. Socially-disadvantaged people, living at the margins of digital society, are penalized both in terms of accessing-using-benefits (three levels of digital divide) but also in understanding-programming-treatment of new digital technologies (three levels of algorithms divide). The advent and implementation of tools that rely on algorithms to make decisions has further penalized specific social categories by normalizing inequalities in the name of efficiency and rationalization. 410 0$aPalgrave pivot. 606 $aCommunication 606 $aDigital media 606 $aTechnology$xSociological aspects 606 $aMedia and Communication 606 $aDigital and New Media 606 $aScience, Technology and Society 615 0$aCommunication. 615 0$aDigital media. 615 0$aTechnology$xSociological aspects. 615 14$aMedia and Communication. 615 24$aDigital and New Media. 615 24$aScience, Technology and Society. 676 $a303.4833 676 $a303.4833 700 $aRagnedda$b Massimo$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0501811 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910484218703321 996 $aEnhancing Digital Equity$92212260 997 $aUNINA
