SARAIVA, Karla. Digital inclusion, controls, surveillances and lines of flight. ETD [online]. 2016, vol.18, n.4, pp.922-941. ISSN 1676-2592.  https://doi.org/10.20396/etd.v18i4.8644449.

The purpose of this article is to discuss the concept of digital inclusion starting from the problematization of the internet as a field of struggles where there is both the production of the common by the multitude and the creation of new spaces of freedom, and the action of control mechanisms and electronic surveillance aimed at privatizing the common and submitting individuals. We suggest an expansion on the notion of digital inclusion, overcoming an understanding restricted to availability of access, digital literacy and training for proper use of resources and including instrumentalization of individuals with expertise on the functioning of the internet. The purpose of this is developing a digital citizenship that enables the effective political participation in the sphere of digital technologies. We indicate also the convenience to perform this action through schools, displacing the notion of a digital inclusion focused on disadvantaged classes to something necessary for all students.

Keywords : Digital Inclusion; Control; Citizenship; Education.
