Le numérique est un mot qui est passé rapidement dans notre vocabulaire. Mais que désigne-t-il à proprement parler ? Comment comprendre et définir cet objet, ce phénomène qui semble destiné à transformer notre quotidien ? Les dictionnaires restent un peu perplexes devant le numérique ; leurs définitions ne renvoient souvent qu'à l'aspect étymologique et technique – un secteur associé au calcul, au nombre –, et surtout aux dispositifs opposés à l'analogique. Dans notre usage, le numérique désigne bien autre chose. C'est pourquoi la question de sa définition mérite d'être posée, car elle soulève une difficulté particulière. Une difficulté à la fois épistémologique, institutionnelle et sociale, voire économique et politique, mais qui permet précisément de cerner la complexité du numérique dans son déploiement actuel.

Einen Großteil unseres Wissens nehmen wir in Diskurszusammenhängen wahr. Was in der Welt Gültigkeit hat, wird in Sprecherhandlungen als faktisch gegeben dargestellt. Unser Wissen über die Welt in Form von Fakten ist also in Diskurse eingebunden - in diesen wird Faktizität konstituiert. Der schillernde Begriff der Diskursanalyse scheint hierbei prima facie ein Erkenntnishindernis darzustellen. Diese vermeintliche Schwäche der Begriffsunschärfe ist Motivation für die Beleuchtung der Diskursanalyse aus dem Blickwinkel der jeweiligen Einzeldisziplin. Durch die Betrachtung des Diskursverständnisses innerhalb und außerhalb der Linguistik wird the state of the art kontrastiv vor allem durch die Beiträge der Soziologie, der Philosophie und der Risikoforschung facettenreicher und schärfer herausgearbeitet. Die dadurch perspektivierte Dynamik des Wissens im Spiegel des Erinnerns und Vergessens von "Faktischem" wird hinsichtlich der Dechiffrierung von Diskurspraktiken mit Blick auf die Frage problematisiert, welches Wissen als erhaltenswert und welches im Diskurs als vernachlässigbar zu klassifizieren ist. The greater part of our knowledge is bound up in discursive contexts. That which incontrovertibly exists is presented discursively as a fact. Thus, factual knowledge is produced in discourses. This role of discourse lends great relevance to discursive analysis and to the process of deciphering discursive practices. This is all the more true when power relations determine which knowledge is worthy of preservation and which should be considered expendable. The studies included in this volume undertake an analysis of discourse from the perspectives of linguistics, sociology, philosophy, and risk research.

"This book provides an in-depth comparative analysis of inequality and the stratification of the digital sphere. Grounded in classical sociological theories of inequality, as well as empirical evidence, this book defines 'the digital divide' as the unequal access and utility of internet communications technologies and explores how it has the potential to replicate existing social inequalities, as well as create new forms of stratification. The Digital Divide examines how various demographic and socio-economic factors including income, education, age and gender, as well as infrastructure, products and services affect how the internet is used and accessed. Comprised of six parts, the first section examines theories of the digital divide, and then looks in turn at: Highly developed nations and regions (including the USA, the EU and Japan) ; Emerging large powers (Brazil, China, India, Russia) ; Eastern European countries (Estonia, Romania, Serbia) ; Arab and Middle Eastern nations (Egypt, Iran, Israel) ; Under-studied areas (East and Central Asia, Latin America, and sub-Saharan Africa). Providingan interwoven analysis of the international inequalities in internet usage and access, this important work offers a comprehensive approach to studying the digital divide around the globe. It is an important resource for academic and students in sociology, social policy, communication studies, media studies and all those interested in the questions and issues around social inequality."--Publisher's website.
