在我们这个越来越依赖屏幕的时代，使“在线”或“虚拟”工作和休闲方式成为可能的数据基础设施受到越来越多的质疑。从荷兰到爱尔兰和智利，活动家们对能源和水密集型数据中心的环境后果以及往往不民主的建设决策方式提出了挑战。在这篇文章中，我借鉴了社会运动研究领域的见解，概述了四个关键问题，可以帮助我们更好地理解屏幕媒体自下而上的基础设施政治：（1）我们如何解释不同国家背景下数据基础设施的差异政治化？(2)这些运动是如何抵制数据基础设施的？(3)我们如何定义数据基础设施的成功？(4)我们在多大程度上观察到数据基础设施的跨国化？这些问题开辟了潜在的新的研究方向，借鉴比较，并注意跨环境的扩散过程。
In our times of increasing screen dependency, the data infrastructures making possible ‘online’ or ‘virtual’ modalities of work and leisure have been increasingly contested. From the Netherlands to Ireland and Chile, activists have challenged the environmental consequences of energy- and water-intensive data centres, as well as the often undemocratic ways of deciding on their construction. In this piece, I draw on insights from the field of social movement studies to outline four key problems that can help us understand better the bottom-up infrastructural politics of screen media: (1) How can we explain the differential politicization of data infrastructures in various national contexts? (2) How do movements frame their resistance to data infrastructures? (3) How do we define success in the contestation of data infrastructures? (4) To what extent have we observed the transnationalization of data infrastructures contestation? These problems open up potential new directions for research that draws on comparisons and is attentive to diffusion processes across contexts.
