Inclusão digital e inclusão social: um debate em aberto

Resumo (EN)

The extraordinary technological advances created huge structural transformations in the society. This study highlights an analysis about the theme of digital inclusion as an imperative for social inclusion, in the context of contemporaneous capitalism, also called informational capitalism. Although there is a hegemony of thoughts about this issue, our premises point that this speech tends to disguise the economical pressure that imposes an individual the need of using the new technology of the computers, what demonstrates that the digital inclusion is not serving the individual, but it is serving the capital. Analyzing this new society, many theorists began a debate. Those who defend this new capitalism, besides pointing to the new open perspectives by these new technologies, began to reflect on the role that those technologies could take on the social inclusion process. By the other hand, the theorists who criticize the cyberculture, although they recognize that the influence of the technology will not disappear, they have doubts about the validity of the hegemonic speech showed by different sectors of the society that defend the digital inclusion as a way o the citizen for the work market and the citizenship. All these ideas are present in this study with the objective of providing information to whom are interested by this subject.
