Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An examination of how concepts of “the savage” facilitated technological approaches to modernist design Attempting to derive aesthetic systems from natural structures of human cognition, designers looked toward the “savage mind”—a way of thinking they associated with a racialized subaltern. In Savage Mind to Savage Machine, Ginger Nolan uncovers an enduring relationship between “the savage” and the development of technology and its wide-ranging impact on society, including in the fields of architecture and urbanism, the industrial arts, and digital design. Nolan focuses on the relationship between the applied arts and the structuralist social sciences, proposing that the late-nineteenth-century rise of Freudian psychology, ethnology, and structuralist linguistics offered innovations and new opportunities in studying human cognition. She looks at institutions ranging from the Public Industrial Arts School of Philadelphia and the Weimar Bauhaus to the MIT Media Lab and the Centre Mondial Informatique, revealing a persistent theme of twentieth-century design: to supplant language with more subliminal, aesthetic modes of communication, thereby inculcating a deep intimacy between human habit and new technologies of production, communication, and consumption. This book’s ultimate critique is of the development of the ergonomics of the spirit—the design of the human cognitive apparatus in relation to new aesthetic technologies. Nolan sees these ergonomics as a means of depoliticizing societies through aesthetic technologies intended to seamlessly integrate humans into the programs of capitalist modernity. Revising key modernist design narratives, Savage Mind to Savage Machine provides a deep historical foundation for understanding our contemporary world.

Download or read book Information Communication Technology and Poverty Alleviation written by Jack J. Barry and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-07-24 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite global economic disparities, recent years have seen rapid technological changes in developing countries, as it is now common to see people across all levels of society with smartphones in their hands and computers in their homes. However, does access to Information Communication Technologies (ICTs) actually improve the day-to-day lives of low-income citizens? This book argues that access to the internet can help alleviate poverty, improve development outcomes, and is now vital for realizing many human rights. This book posits that good governance is essential to the realization of inclusive pro-poor development goals, and puts forward policy recommendations that aim to mitigate the complex digital divide by employing governance as the primary actor. In making his argument, the author provides a quantitative analysis of developing countries, conjoined with a targeted in-depth study of Mexico. This mixed method approach provides an intriguing case for how improvements in the quality of governance impacts both ICT penetration, and poverty alleviation. Overall, the book challenges the neoliberal deterministic perspective that the open market will "solve" technology diffusion, and argues instead that good governance is the lynchpin that creates conducive conditions for ICTs to make an impact on poverty alleviation. In fact, the digital divide should not be considered binary, rather it is a multifaceted problem where income, education, and language all need to be considered to address it effectively. This book will be useful for researchers/students of development, communication technologies, and comparative politics as well as for development practitioners and policy makers with an interest in how modern technology is impacting the poor in the developing world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This anthology demonstrates the astonishing challenge, cultural complexity, and urgency of social impacts of computers. The papers stem from a decade of work sponsored by the International Federation of Information Processing (IFIP), organized by the IFIP Committee on Computer Relationships with Society (TC9). The key goals of this collection are: firstly, to reach a broader audience of the educated public world-wide on the massive socio-economic impacts of computers; secondly, to provide an authoritative, diversified sampling of international research and contributions in this area for scholars and advanced students; thirdly, to discuss action-oriented human choice at local, national and international levels in planning, designing, developing and using computer-based information systems; and, fourthly, to encourage talented professionals in the various disciplines that contribute to social consequences of computers to support new IFIP TC9 ventures and objectives for the worldwide community. The anthology draws on authors from almost 40 countries around the world, representing a diversity of philosophies. The topics cover a wide range of areas, including: politics and democracy, national economic policies, the quality of working life, individual and group privacy, information power in bureaucracies, philosophical and psychological impacts of computers, international telecommunications, and computers in national defense and in mass communication media. The format followed in the text includes editorial comments providing a short overview of each conference and a brief description of each of the papers, which will assist the reader in identifying key themes and finding his area of interest.
