Sesión 4. ¿Es posible automatizar la reproducción social? con Belén Liedo
Lunes, 11 de noviembre de 2024
El feminismo liberal fue capaz de incorporar rápidamente la reproducción social entre sus temas de atención. Para ello, dice Susan Ferguson, desarrollaron numerosas propuestas van desde reclamar que los hombres compartan “las cargas domésticas comunes” hasta imaginar avances tecnológicos vinculados con la limpieza y la eliminación de desechos.
Pero tras las promesa de la automatización, como nos han enseñado Ellen Lupton, Ruth Schwartz Cowan y Judy Wajcman, el tiempo empleado en las tareas dom...2024-11-111h 29

The Digital Deal PodcastRegendering TechnologySend us a textIn this episode, we look at the historical entanglements of technology and gender. Made in the image of their (often male) designers, technologies end up serving and reproducing patriarchal systems. How can technology finally "undergo a sex change" to overcome its current gender inscriptions? What political imaginaries make that possible, or become possible through feminist approaches to technology? Host Ana-Maria Carabelea tries to answer these questions in conversation with Professor Judy Wajcman and visual and multimedia artist Silvia Binda.Resources:Baltan Laboratories, Technology OtherwiseData Feminism by...2024-05-3133 min

Our panel discuss whether work is making us bad citizens and unhappy humans. Is there something to be said for being idle? Bertrand Russell wrote that "immense harm is caused by the belief that work is virtuous". In more recent times, organisations from Microsoft to the Wellcome Trust have experimented with a four-day week, and advocates argue that shorter working weeks will solve everything from unemployment to the gender pay gap.

Gretta, Miranda, and Catherine welcome Judy Wajcman into the conversation to discuss her 1998 book, "Managing like a man: Women and men in corporate management," which provides an interesting contrast to the experiences expressed by the subjects of Dalton's study and whose evidence debunks many of the myths around possible gender differences in how men and women manage.2020-12-2247 min

星箭廣播72: 用手機點個 Uber Eats，也會造成社會「加速」？ 你有用過 Uber Eats、foodpanda 這類的餐點外送服務嗎？省下來的時間是否讓你感到自己變得更從容？還是依舊覺得生活很忙碌呢？還是你曾經擔任過這些外送平台的外送員？覺得自己的工作時間被切得很破碎？這次《星箭廣播》邀請到社會學家、世新大學社發所與社心系合聘助理教授曹家榮，要來跟大家聊聊 Uber Eats 這類外送平台與社會的「加速」現象。事情是這樣的，Titan 本來有點抗拒 Uber Eats，覺得吃的東西下樓去附近的店家買就行了，何必呢？不過後來有段時間因為生活變得比較忙碌，也變成使用者之一，而 Uber Eats 在疫情爆發後新增了一項功能：使用者可以選擇請外送員將餐點送到門口放著即可。一開始 Titan 覺得這樣的叫餐體驗很神奇，每次點餐完過一段時間，手機就會跳出推播通知（有時會附上餐點放在門口的照片），此時打開門就會看到餐點直接出現，就像魔法一樣，但幾次之後 Titan 開始感到某種說不上來的怪異。曹老師會在本集節目跟大家解釋什麼是「加速」社會，為什麼 Titan 口中「怪異」的感受是整個社會因為科技而「加速」產生的現象之一。節目中，曹老師會跟大家介紹三種關於社會學中「加速」的三種理論，分別是法國哲學家保羅·維希留（Paul Virilio）認為科技帶來的加速會取消物理空間；哈特穆特·羅薩（Hartmut Rosa）提出的三種加速：科技的加速、社會變遷加速，以及生活步調加速，最後還有茱蒂·威吉曼（Judy Wajcman）在《縮時社會》一書談到不同處境的人所面臨的加速問題。請別誤會，Titan 並沒有要呼籲大家藉由個人的抵抗（例如不使用 Uber Eats）來緩解社會的加速現象，那麼我們該怎麼做呢？為什麼我們要在這個時候思考這個問題？快點按下播放鍵吧！假如你喜歡我們的節目，記得訂閱《星箭廣播》、在 iTunes 留下評價（或是寫信給我們），同時也別忘了來我們的部落格看看，或是訂閱我們的電子報。如果你想要聽更多節目，可以參考我們推薦的節目，或是你想教朋友怎麼收聽 podcast，我們也有寫一篇文章。又或者，你想要自己製作 podcast，歡迎參考這篇〈Podcast 製作與上架指南〉。以下是我們在本集提到的連結：Uber 在網站上的「關於新型冠狀病毒 (COVID-19) 的實用資源與最新消息」指出他們提供「放在門口」的外送方式〈北市學生午餐叫外賣 外送車擠爆校門〉〈維希留：向「速度利維坦主義」說不的思想家〉Why are we stuck behind the social acceleration? | Hartmut Rosa | TEDxFSUJena（影片）《新異化等誕生：社會加速批判理論大綱》《縮時社會: 奪回遭科技控制的快轉人生》〈Big tech hearing: Apple, Google, Facebook and Amazon CEOs testified before Congress〉〈The Antitrust Hearing, The Role of Congress, CEO Questions〉Exponent 188 — Big Tech, Antitrust, and DemocracySpecial Guest: 曹家榮.

Luckily, technology is paving the way for jobs you’ll actually be excited to do. Menial tasks like email can be automated. Decision-making can be done with artificial intelligence. And “deep learning” can teach robots to be creative and even generate ideas.
Granted, automation is something Popular Science has been excited (and worried) about for decades, so we turn to our ever-entertaining archives for some historical guidance.
