Description
Summary:As ICTs become more pervasive both globally and in our daily lives, investigating their roles and function from a critical perspective is a growing challenge. Adopting such an approach, we assess the meanings given to the term "critical" and to the acronym "ICT", and propose various ways in which to analyze ICTs through a critical lens. Our analysis begins by placing these objects in the context of the "technician system". We then discuss two other relevant bodies of literature; one dedicated to research in political economy of communication and the other to the social uses of ICTs. We conclude by noting the importance of integrating two additional dimensions into the analysis of this issue: temporality and environment.
