Situating Community through Creative Technologies and Practice

这个跨学科的范围研究批判性地讨论了社区和他们的数字技术的创造性使用之间的关系：这种使用的性质，它对社区的形成和维持的影响，以及这对社会变革的潜力。首先，我们提供简要的工作定义的创造力，数字技术和社区的理解，在这项研究中，同时提请注意的方式，技术帮助塑造社区和社会自19世纪。此外，我们还讨论了设计，创造性地使用技术和社区赋权之间的相互联系，强调了数字化工具对社区的潜力，这些工具不是技术所固有的，而是通过设计嵌入并通过使用实现的。然后，我们强调数字技术的使用如何帮助重新定义社区的性质，组织和身份，以及使社区类型的出现。我们质疑这些影响与空间，社会纽带和日常生活，以及目前的形式，使集体行动，旨在社会变革。最后，我们提供了建议，为未来的研究的基础上，社区赋权，数字素养，开放的信息共享，技术设计和文化表达，从这项研究中出现的主题。

This interdisciplinary scoping study critically discusses the relationships between communities and their creative uses of digital technologies: the nature of this use, its impact on the formation and sustenance of communities, and the potential this holds for social change. We start by providing brief working definitions of creativity, digital technologies and community as understood in this study, while drawing attention to the ways that technologies have helped shape communities and societies since the nineteenth century. Further, we discuss the interconnection between design, creative uses of technology and community empowerment, underlining the potential of digital tools for communities that are not inherent to the technology but embedded by design and realised through use. We then highlight how the use of digital technologies have helped redefine the nature, organisation and identity of communities, as well as enabled the emergence of community types. We problematize these implications in relation to space, social bonds and everyday life, as well as present current forms of enabled collective actions aimed at social change. Finally, we provide recommendations for future research based on themes of community empowerment, digital literacy, open information sharing, technology design and cultural expressions that have emerged from this study.
