- Title
INCLUSÃO DIGITAL COMO POLÍTICA PÚBLICA: DISPUTAS NO CAMPO DOS DIREITOS HUMANOS.
- Authors
Rosa, Fernanda Ribeiro
- Abstract
The main objective of this study is to examine digital inclusion as a field of State activity and public policies. We first examine some of the meanings attributed to digital inclusion and the public policy dilemmas that arise from them. We do this by referring to the discussions present in human rights literature, understanding the right to communication as one aspect of the issue. We subsequently defend the importance of approaching digital inclusion as a social right through the establishment of a dialogue with the field of education. We then present the concept of digital literacy, which looks far beyond access to ICTs, requiring that the social skills and practices necessary for society's current technological juncture be defined in order for them to become the focus of new public policies. Finally, we defend that the digital literacy approach stands out as the most essential among multiple approaches to digital inclusion, as its features tend to make a stronger contribution both towards overcoming obstacles to social development and towards attaining the emancipation of individuals.
