• W225421800 abstract "International organization policies pertaining to gender and information technology address gender in terms of the between men and women as defined by sociocultural norms. In doing so, they do not account for how technology is itself gendered, or how people use technology in ways that call up and reproduce in society. Certain assumptions that underpin these policies-that argue that there exists an imminent danger of losing women because of a lack of technological skills-even serve to reproduce gender in the realm of information technology. In this article, I deal with three questions. First, how are issues of gender and information technology conceptualized in the international educational policy literature? Second, what are some limitations of this policy conceptualization that surface in Internet cafe settings in northern Tanzania? The two issues I specifically investigate are the extent to which policy focuses on women's access to technology and the role that policy plays in the positioning of women as knowledge-and technology-poor. Third, how can we discuss these issues without either relying on an ethnocentric discourse and theory of gender that privileges white, Euro-American perspectives, or by reducing gender power to a faulty cultural logic in which sociocultural norms are blamed for imbalances of power? In order to address these questions, I offer a conceptual language for thinking about gender and information technology through invoking the concept of gendered social regimes. Crediting Foucault (1977, 1978), cultural anthropologists and gender theorists (Connell 2002; Escobar 1995; Ong, 1999) have used the concept of power and knowledge regimes to address ways that structures of power and knowledge are normalized. A is a structure of relations that defines possibilities and consequences (Connell 2002, 55). I argue that there exists a gender regime of technology, which in concrete terms manifests itself in the sexual division of labor in the realm of information technology. While I show that this regime is composed of arrangements that draw on both global and local relationships and discourses, I also highlight how these arrangements are shaped in part through policy discourse that reproduces ideas about Third World women as knowledge- and technology-poor. Method This article concerns itself most directly with the language and direction of international education policy dealing with issues of gender and information technology. I ground it in an extensive conceptual and discursive analysis of two information technology policy documents (UNCSTD Gender Working Group 1995; Hafkin and Taggart 2001) that I have selected as representative of the themes and language of a broader sample. I locate these policy documents in the research and policy debates, which they both reflect and shape, and then offer a critique informed by recent anthropological analyses of the conceptualization of technology and by interpretations of several dynamics of Internet cafes that point to the problematic nature of policy objectives, strategies, and outcomes. My understanding of Internet cafes as spaces derives mainly from conversations with Internet cafe owners, managers, staff, customers, and other townspeople during a two-month period I spent in northern Tanzania conducting anthropological research on a separate project. Although this article draws on my daily experiences in at least seven cafe, I highlight one in particular, the Safari Internet Cafe (a pseudonym), located in a medium-sized city in northern Tanzania where as many as ten Internet cafes have opened in the last five years. I offer my thoughts on these dynamics not as evidence derived from a systematic long-term study, but rather as vignettes in which I highlight issues and raise questions regarding the direction of international policy in information technology. …" @default.
