App economy, Android App Store, and Migrant Workers in Urban China

Dr Nina Li

  *   Friday 21 October
  *   Room 601, Michie Building (#9)
  *   3pm - 4pm

This talk is derived from a participant observation of migrant workers' mobile phone usage in the city of Shanghai, China in 2014. Dr Li learned from her fieldwork that the shift of the access to the Internet from a desktop end, and for many, from a non-smartphone to a smartphone end was a process requiring learning, and a wide array of institutions have enabled this learning. The talk describes the social and technological conditions that ease workers' mobile experience by focusing on the Android app store. It views app store more than an app distribution network, but a cultural form, a techno-economic institution, and an information gateway defining migrant workers' mobile phone usage.
