Resumo

Redes Comunitárias (RCs) podem fornecer acesso a telecomunicações em áreas rurais de baixa renda, que são excluídas pelos modelos dominantes de conectividade. Geralmente, mulheres e pessoas mais velhas, constituem, de forma relativa, as proporções mais altas dessas populações, portanto, este artigo explora as interações entre tecnologia, gênero e idade em três RCs na África rural, América Latina e Sul da Ásia. Todos os casos estão situados em estruturas de governança local dominadas por homens, incluindo uma autoridade tribal, uma assembleia indígena e um conselho de aldeia; e em culturas coletivistas onde as mulheres estão envolvidas no trabalho comunitário, mas não na tomada de decisões. Eu gerei dados sobre as práticas cotidianas das pessoas e opiniões em relação as suas RCs locais em discussões de grupos focais e entrevistas de diferentes tipos com 76 homens e 60 mulheres, incluindo iniciantes em redes, apoiadores, operadores, usuários e não usuários. Mulheres mais velhas contribuíram significativamente com trabalho voluntário, mas eram menos propensas a usar as suas RCs, por exemplo, porque não possuíam/não sabiam como usar os dispositivos, ou porque a localização dos pontos de acesso não era adequada para suas vidas diárias. Enquanto isso, as mulheres mais jovens frequentemente usavam alternativas às RCs para conectividade e, às vezes, estabeleciam seus próprios empreendimentos nisso; o que contribuiu para as perspectivas de algumas mulheres mais velhas de que as mulheres mais jovens estavam cada vez mais separadas das tradições comunais. Isso tem o potencial de ampliar as lacunas geracionais entre as mulheres e o patriarcado nas RCs. Esse potencial de divisão pode ser ainda mais exacerbado pelo viés masculino de prioridades no discurso global sobre tecnologia e política de telecomunicações, que tende a enfatizar certas preocupações com o acesso sobre as relações de poder embutidas na infraestrutura.
