abstract: 'Based on an ethnographic project in a public high school in a low-income
|
|
|
|
neighborhood in South Los Angeles, this paper argues that access to
|
|
|
|
information and communication technologies (ICTs) cannot be taken as
|
|
|
|
helpful or empowering on its own terms; instead, concerns about justice
|
|
|
|
must be accounted for by the local communities technology is meant to
|
|
|
|
benefit. This paper juxtaposes the concept of technological access with
|
|
|
|
recent work in feminist science and technology studies (STS) on
|
|
|
|
infrastructure, maintenance, and ethics. In contrast to popular
|
|
|
|
descriptions of ICTs as emancipatory and transformative, in the setting
|
|
|
|
of an urban school, access produced extensive demands for attention,
|
|
|
|
time, and information. This paper focuses on the labor of a group of
|
|
|
|
student workers, Student Technology Leaders (STLs), and how they became
|
|
|
|
responsible for the significant amount of repair and maintenance work
|
|
|
|
involved in keeping hundreds of new computing devices available for use.
|
|
|
|
An expanded process of accounting can more realistically frame issues of
|
|
|
|
justice and its relationship to ICTs. I use a town hall meeting held
|
|
|
|
with these students as an example of a processual vision of justice, one
|
|
|
|
that encourages the beneficiaries of technological access to evaluate
|
|
|
|
costs, benefits, and ethical concerns together.'
