评分大体可以总结为:1)以网吧、廉价手机服务为代表的中低端信息传播技术深入信息中下层的日常生活与工作。2)信息服务、硬件提供商的商业逻辑并不一定能够提供有利于信息中下阶层的发展的创新与服务。信息中下阶层也并不一定能够合理有效地使用信息服务。3)信息中下阶层通过软硬...

"Contrary to many Information Age pundits and prognosticators, the working class continues to exist; indeed, in contemporary China, it is being reinvented on a gigantic scale and in a new historical form. ICTs, as Jack Linchuan Qiu shows, constitute a vital and fascinating component of this crucial process. Those who assert that class realities have nothing to do with cellphones and Internet services—and vice versa—will have to think again."
—Dan Schiller, Graduate School of Library and Information Science, University of Illinois Champaign-Urbana
"Jack Linchuan Qiu has written the most insightful, empirically grounded account to date of the social role that the Internet and related information and communication technologies have played in the course of China's rapid economic development. Anyone with an interest in the social and economic implications of the Internet in developing economies—whose citizens make up half of today's Internet users—should read this book."
—William H. Dutton, Director, Oxford Internet Institute, University of Oxford
Product Description
The idea of the "digital divide," the great social division between information haves and have-nots, has dominated policy debates and scholarly analysis since the 1990s. In Working-Class Network Society, Jack Linchuan Qiu describes a more complex social and technological reality in a newly mobile, urbanizing China. Qiu argues that as inexpensive Internet and mobile phone services become available and are closely integrated with the everyday work and life of low-income communities, they provide a critical seedbed for the emergence of a new working class of "network labor" crucial to China's economic boom. Between the haves and have-nots, writes Qiu, are the information "have-less": migrants, laid-off workers, micro-entrepreneurs, retirees, youth, and others, increasingly connected by cybercafés, prepaid service, and used mobile phones. A process of class formation has begun that has important implications for working-class network society in China and beyond.
Qiu brings class back into the scholarly discussion, not as a secondary factor but as an essential dimension in our understanding of communication technology as it is shaped in the vast, industrializing society of China. Basing his analysis on his more than five years of empirical research conducted in twenty cities, Qiu examines technology and class, networked connectivity and public policy, in the context of massive urban reforms that affect the new working class disproportionately. The transformation of Chinese society, writes Qiu, is emblematic of the new technosocial reality emerging in much of the Global South.

评分匆匆翻完,三星差一点。被压迫被损害的群体可以利用新的技术手段,形成新的身份、引发社会变革。作者显然想将技术手段与新工人阶级诞生联系起来。可是完全没有超出马克思说的资本主义是自己的掘墓人的逻辑啊,仅仅提供了一些老掉牙的例子。对于远景的判断,作者的态度左右摇摆,莫衷一是。
评分邱老师在这本书里还提到了项飙哈哈哈!看完更想考中大了,毕竟“香港是有实实在在的学术自由的。”这些例子也并不老掉牙,因为1.这些例子都是“真”的(那时的媒体还没有被政治操纵,而学术研究需要基于真实案例)2.这些例子背后的社会问题直到现在依然没有解决。
评分读的中译,应该快出了
