Territorialisation de la « convention internet » dans les espaces ruraux

Abstract

While Information and Communication Technology has been deployed so extensively in various territories that we can now speak of “Internet convention”, regardless of the culture, group or diverse political, economic and social context, there remain a variety of adoption dynamics and resistance processes that affect the process of building an Information Society. In the case of France, three categories of rural spaces are identified and considered: fragile countrysides, distant suburban spaces, and new countrysides. The present article seeks to understand the way in which “Internet convention” are renegotiated in the framework of these distinct spaces.
