内容説明
New technologies are transforming the economies of Europe, West and East. New products, new production processes: are they bringing greater equality and similarity to the lives of women and men? Are women sharing in technological design and decision-making or are they, as before, just the disregarded users whose fingers press the buttons and turn the knobs? This book presents, from eight countries, original empirical studies of the design, production, distribution and use of familiar household technologies. The authors trace the life circuit of everyday artifacts, from the washing machine and the central vacuum cleaning system, to the food processor, the plastic credit card and, that ultimate masculine dream, the totally electronic "smart" house. The reader meets factory workers in Moscow and Barcelona, design engineers in Paris and Belgrade, shop assistants in England, housewives in Trondheim, Helsinki and Athens. As the innovations progress from the drawing board to the home they reveal masculinity and femininity, power and subordination, in the making.
目次
- Looking for the gender/technology relation
- sweeping away the dust of tradition - vacuum cleaning as a site of technical and social innovation
- "let's nuke the dinner" - discursive practices of gender in the creation of a new cooking process
- computerization in Greek banking - the gendering of jobs and payment practices
- women users in the design process of a food robot - innovation in a French domestic appliance company
- technological flexibility - bringing gender into technology (or was it the other way around?)
- hopes and disappointments of technological change - a case study in Russian hosiery production
- bodies, machines and male power
- women, technology and societal failure in former Yugoslavia
- a gendered socio-technical construction - the smart house.
