Reseña

This book addresses the issue of digital inclusion from a gender perspective. Although it is an essay book, it contains an in-depth documentary review in the argumentation paragraphs, as well as the discourse analysis of public policies and current discussions in the cyberculture field. It is the cumulative result of several academic research and experiences on the matter with the Red Laboratorio de la Historia Global del Ciberespacio—LAGHCIB (Lab. Global History & Cyberspace).

It also provides a context of the technological transformation, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on women’s lives, and the historical framework in the access to technology, an inequality that, together with other historical disadvantages, leads to digital gaps, mainly in the way of knowing and describing the world. From an interpretation of governmentality, this text presents an archaeological analysis of the ICT public policies, and then interconnects it with cognitive capitalism and cultural colonialism theories as structural factors of such inequality.
