The digitalization of society is constructed as a necessary leap that governments and citizens need to take. However, with many older people lacking adequate digital competences to support their full participation in today’s digitalized society, how is the marginalisation of older people in digital society socially constructed? How can we promote older people’s digital inclusion and agency?Presenting case studies from Finland, one of the top performers in the supply and demand of digital public services, Older People in a Digitalized Society outlines internationally relevant implications for promoting the social construction of older people’s agency. Delving into their digital competences, and use and non-use of Internet and eHealth technologies, Rasi-Heikkinen showcases the potential exclusionary effects of digitalization, and highlights the implications for digital inclusion practice and policy. Contesting the dominant discourses which suggest digital technologies and media play central roles in the learning, well-being, everyday life, and participation in society for individuals throughout their lifespan, Older People in a Digitalized Society addresses the digital gap faced by older generations that do not welcome digitalization, or even see it as a positive marginality: a choice that they have consciously made.Paying attention to how digitalization is a contested issue constructed with various, ambivalent, and paradoxical representations, Rasi-Heikkinen shines an important light on how older people are constructed as being on the margins of digitalization by researchers and the media.

L'arrivée de l'internet fait figure de révolution : technologique, intellectuelle, idéologique, sociologique. Cet ouvrage a pour ambition de poser quelques jalons théoriques et historiques : l'internet est une technologie du « temps long », un des avatars des modes de calcul et de pensée connus en Mésopotamie, en Iran, et plus près de nous, de la machine à calculer de Turing ; comme l'imprimerie lors de son invention, l'arrivée de l'internet impose une modification des modes de production de l'écrit, de la pensée et de sa transmission. Ce sont ces voies, nouvelles en ce qu'elles ne posent pas l'internet comme une rupture brutale avec toute histoire antérieure, qui sont explorées par Henri Desbois, Éric Guichard, Clarisse Herrenschmidt, Paul Mathias et Philippe Rygiel. Les auteurs sont tous membres fondateurs de l'équipe de recherche Réseaux, Savoirs & Territoires de l'École normale supérieure - Ulm (Paris)

Communication écrite Etat-citoyens : défis numériques, perspectives rédactologiques, présente un panorama de recherches qui révèle combien la rédactologie est un levier extraordinaire pour permettre une meilleure communication entre l'Etat et les citoyens, réduire la fracture numérique avec les plus fragilisés et viser l'inclusion de toute la population en adoptant un langage clair, personnalisé et bienveillant. Ce collectif, destiné aussi bien aux chercheurs intéressés par les sciences de l'écrit qu'aux rédacteurs professionnels ou aux acteurs du gouvernement chargés de simplifier leurs communications, s'articule autour de trois axes : 1. Rédactologie et intervention en simplification 2. Fracture numérique et inclusion 3. Du document à l'écosystème informationnel

This book critically reviews existing digital divide research and challenges its core thesis, which posits unequal Internet access as a newly formed source of social disadvantage.The author begins by introducing the building blocks of the information society theory. The book goes on to present a systematic overview of digital divide research - its development, arguments attesting to the social gravity of the digital divide, and current findings on the uneven diffusion and use of the Internet. It evaluates the validity of the theories and concepts associated with digital divide research. The author offers an overview and re-examination of six presumptions and biases found in the prevailing approach to the digital divide. Given that Internet use has, in certain contexts, become an absolute necessity, an alternative approach is proposed, recognizing the indispensability of Internet use as context dependent. The book concludes with a consideration of the implications that this new perspective has for the information society theory and policies as well as for the role of social science in the informatization process.
