从手机来看becoming打工妹的状态。手机一方面是governmentality对普通人的内化,一方面是个体承认,反抗,重塑话语建造。selective vs necessary convergence的提法较有新意,其他的民族志部分较为平庸。(很希望看到更多农村这类科技的使用,来和打工妹的手机研究相呼应,真正挖掘出unheard和invisible。)
评分非常棒的ethnography,避免了决定论的问题,讲到了很多nuance,发掘了底层的声音。不过,也许是因为作者对手机的定义相对比较instrumental的关系,她似乎对手机里的内容并不感兴趣,倾向于把手机定义成一个technological tool for nongmingong self use and gratification - 虽然作者的理论框架比使用与满足更加地复杂),所以失去了一个非常大的picture,这也许与作者做研究的时代比较相关,毕竟那时候以手机作为终端的传播技术没有那么地developed。但是站在现在来看,在”信息化“进程搭上了私有化的顺风车之后,人们生活的各个方面开始跟手机有关,从工作、学习、家庭生活、娱乐等等,研究手机使用,有更多的议题可以engage。
评分扎实的民族志研究
评分第一个提到劳动过程的关于ict和农民工的研究,但是劳动过程的部分还是太弱,用福柯的理论解释,然而又有点流于表面,有点可惜。不过necessary convergence的部分还是很有意思的

I study the social and cultural implications of new media technologies and issues of power, difference, and subjectivity, particularly in China. My work examines how uses and understandings of technology both reproduce inequitable power relations and open up spaces for individual and collective agency and thus, social change. I am the author of Technomobility in China: Young Migrant Women and Mobile Phones (NYU Press, 2013), which is an ethnographic exploration of the use of mobile phones by young rural-to-urban migrant women working in the low-level service sector in Beijing. I am currently working on a manuscript based on my recent research in China, where I examined the use of social media by different groups of people - white collar workers, college students, migrant workers, and rural entrepreneurs - and how such usage is articulated to issues of voice and empowerment, trust and risk, and lifestyle and aspirations.
As unprecedented waves of young, rural women journey to cities in China, not only to work, but also to “see the world”and gain some autonomy, they regularly face significant institutional obstacles as well as deep-seated anti-rural prejudices. Based on immersive fieldwork, Cara Wallis provides an intimate portrait of the social, cultural, and economic implications of mobile communication for a group of young women engaged in unskilled service work in Beijing, where they live and work for indefinite periods of time. While simultaneously situating her work within the fields of feminist studies, technology studies, and communication theory, Wallis explores the way in which the cell phone has been integrated into the transforming social structures and practices of contemporary China, and the ways in which mobile technology enables rural young women—a population that has been traditionally marginalized and deemed as “backward” and “other”—to participate in and create culture, allowing them to perform a modern, rural-urban identity. In this theoretically rich and empirically grounded analysis,Wallis provides original insight into the co-construction of technology and subjectivity as well as the multiple forces that shape contemporary China.
This is an extremely rich and insightful ethnographic work on contemporary Chinese society through the unique lens of female migran workers' uses of mobile communication technologies. The author furthered our understanding of the intertwined relationships...
