Аннотация

Our theme, however, has wider and deeper implications than are usually warranted, when it is customarily regarded as a "special," specialized, minority, or marginalized concern. Disability raises many of the questions considered in this journal: struggles for democracy in the information society; computers, networks, and work; e-commerce; construction of identity; the relations of gender, class, and ethnicity; and social and cultural shaping of technology. Disability needs to be framed in much larger, less conceptually barren and constraining ways than it has been. There is a dawning recognition of the important role that disability plays in the complex social, economic, and political environments of information technologies. When we do acknowledge these overarching bearings of disability, we find that, in various respects, we think disability stands to cross-fertilize these debates in timely, interdisciplinary, and multivoiced ways. This, at least, is our desire, in bringing forth these articles.
