The Social Relativity of Digital Exclusion: Applying Relative Deprivation Theory to Digital Inequalities

Abstract: Digital inequalities research adopted the idea that exclusion is compound and multifaceted. Nevertheless, digital exclusion theory and empirical research often takes an individual, static approach; assuming that personal characteristics such as socioeconomic status consistently influence how individuals engage with information and communication technologies across different contexts. This article makes a theoretical contribution by looking at the value of relative deprivation theory (RDT) in understanding digi… Show more

“…This may take the form of invasive online surveillance or outright censorship, which curb citizens' ability to freely employ the Internet for democratic ends. While not all individuals may perceive these inequities equally (Helsper 2017), sensitivity to Internet interference may engender unfavorable attitudes of democratic performance and dampen the relationship that Internet use has on these judgments.…”

“…Para analizar los modos en que apropiación de TD y desigualdades se vinculan, Helsper retoma los aportes del concepto de privación relativa y propone pensar en términos de "relatividad social de las desigualdades digitales" 60 [social relativity of digital inequalities] (Helsper, 2016). A partir de esto, sugiere analizar cómo se configuran desigualdades en relación a las TD haciendo énfasis ya no solo en elementos a nivel estructural, ni tampoco individuales, sino en las relaciones, es decir, en los procesos a nivel grupal -y sus cambios-y de qué forma allí se construyen los vínculos con las TD y experiencias relativas a la inclusiónexclusión (Helsper, 2016: 2).…”

“…En este sentido, se vuelve importante considerar de manera contextual e intragrupal cómo se construyen deseos en torno a la posesión de TD y saberes relativos a éstas. Helsper también considera que una de las contribuciones del enfoque de la privación relativa al estudio de las desigualdades y su relación con las TD se vincula con estudiar de qué manera, en los espacios que habitan cotidianamente, las personas construyen opiniones y decisiones en torno a las TD, a la vez que en esas interacciones construyen a ciertos otros, a los similares, como referencias para compararse (Helsper, 2016).…”
