Computing from a Queer Perspective: considering hacker and maker spaces
Abstract
Sociocultural constructions and reconstructions are constant and this process is based on the values that are permeated among people. Computation and its environments, systems and people experience this process and can end up constructing normative and exclusionary situations. It is through these constant changes that this article intends to present a theoretical debate about the normativities of the area, understanding the Hacker and Maker movements and the deconstructions proposed by Queer Theory as a possibility for an opening.
