2015年，在墨西哥举行了一次被宣传为拉丁美洲第一次全女性黑客活动的活动。高度短暂，但也高度可见，黑客活动作为一个关键网站，以检查社区如何结晶和蒸发，以及参与者如何积极谈判他们的黑客身份和做法跨越国家，性别，种族和民族的界限。大众话语通过提出让不同或“多样化”的参与者加入旨在增强其社区权能的活动的方法，在制造者/黑客团体中构成了包容性。我探讨了如何标记组的成员被要求构建和管理这些差异本身的黑客空间和“制造商”的形成。我首先强调参与者在妇女的hackketches调整自己的专业知识的结构，因为他们谈判的性别和女性的规范性建设。当黑客陷入墨西哥民族主义者对生产力的推动时，他们会继续这些谈判。在最后一节，我将介绍祖母们的一次意外拜访，她们给大家上了一课，让大家了解支持黑客社区的无形劳动力。在一个通常为了解“新”技术的年轻制造者保留的空间里，他们声称自己在“进步”中占有一席之地，并重申被低估的家务工作是其他类型工作的基础。通过将这三条线编织在一起，我提出了不同的方式变得重要，因为拉丁裔黑客不同地定位自己，但也使自己与将代码工作视为编码劳动的矛盾保持一致。
An event advertised as the first all-women’s hackathon in Latin America was held in Mexico in 2015. Highly ephemeral but also highly visible, the hackathon functions as a critical site to examine how communities crystallize and evaporate, and how participants actively negotiate their hacker identities and practices across boundaries of nation, gender, race, and ethnicity. Popular discourse poses inclusivity within maker/hacker groups by proposing ways to get different or “diverse” participants to join events aimed at empowering their communities. I explore how members of marked groups are called upon to construct and manage these differences themselves within hacker spaces and “maker” formations. I first highlight how participants at the women’s hackathon aligned themselves with structures of expertise as they negotiated normative constructions of gender and femininity. Hackers continue these negotiations when they get caught up in Mexican nationalist pushes for productivity. In the final section, I unpack a surprise visit by abuelitas (grandmothers), who taught everyone a lesson on the invisibilized labor that supports communities of hackers. In a space usually reserved for young makers who understand “new” technologies, they claimed their space within “progress” and reasserted undervalued domestic work as foundational for other type of work. By weaving these three threads together ethnographically, I suggest the ways in which differences become important as Latina hackers differentially position themselves, but also align themselves, with the contradictions of treating code work as coded labor.
