Zusammenfassung:
'Becoming Digital Citizens' explores the relationship between disability, citizenship, and information and communication technologies (ICTs) in the Chinese context. Based on rich empirical evidence, this book examines the citizenship status of disabled people in a rapidly changing, digital China and the ICTs-related, multi-dimensional practices of disabled people in claiming rights and appealing for a better social position. It explores the process by which disabled people become individual and collective subjects with agency through their use of ICTs, the forms and patterns of their acts in the digital sphere, and their interactions with wider structures and existing citizenship discourse and institutions. From this, Yuanyuan Qu identifies a distinct digital disability citizenship that has its own specific features and scenarios.
