Seminar: Powerful dichotomies: Inclusion and exclusion in the information society
Speaker: Associate Professor Ester Barinaga, Department of Management, Politics and Philosophy.
Technological development is frequently presented as the answer to many contemporary social problems. Poverty, lack of democracy, failing integration, unemployment, all may be dealt with the adequate technological means. In this kind of analysis inequality is often phrased in terms of a digital divide.
The solution to inequality is thus given: invest in developing high-tech regions. And yet, looking at well known high-tech regions, such as Silicon Valley in the US or Kista in the north of Stockholm, we see that these regions reproduce and reinforce socio-economic inequality.
This lecture aims at unveiling the practices of high-tech regions that contribute to perpetuate inequality.
