Descripción del artículo del vendedor

Paperback. How Mexican and Latinx hackers apply concepts from coding to their lived experiencesIn Code Work, Hector Beltran examines Mexican and Latinx coders personal strategies of self-making as they navigate a transnational economy of tech work. Beltran shows how these hackers apply concepts from the code worlds to their lived experiences, deploying batches, loose coupling, iterative processing (looping), hacking, prototyping, and full-stack development in their daily social interactionsat home, in the workplace, on the dating scene, and in their understanding of the economy, culture, and geopolitics. Merging ethnographic analysis with systems thinking, he draws on his eight years of research in Mexico and the United Statesduring which he participated in and observed hackathons, hacker schools, and tech entrepreneurship conferencesto unpack the conundrums faced by workers in a tech economy that stretches from villages in rural Mexico to Silicon Valley.Beltran chronicles the tension between the transformative promise of hackingthe idea that coding will reconfigure the boundaries of race, ethnicity, class, and genderand the reality of a neoliberal capitalist economy divided and structured by the US/Mexico border. Young hackers, many of whom approach coding in a spirit of playfulness and exploration, are encouraged to appropriate the discourses of flexibility and self-management even as they remain outside formal employment. Beltran explores the ways that innovative culture is seen as central in curing Mexicos social ills, showing that when innovation is linked to technological development, other kinds of development are neglected. Beltrans highly original, wide-ranging analysis uniquely connects technology studies, the anthropology of capitalism, and Latinx and Latin American studies. This item is printed on demand.
