Abstract

ABSTRACT Scholars have long been critical of development agendas where Global North organisations develop aid programmes and resources to address inequalities in the Global South, which tend to reflect Western values, frameworks, and identity. Critical response can be seen in current calls for decolonising the ‘resourcing’ of LGBTQ+ young people in the Global South. Drawing from the postcolonial lenses of ‘Asia as Method’ and a reorienting of that paradigm through ‘queer Asia as method’, we argue for ‘queering’ approaches to digitally resourcing LGBTQ+ young people in the region by centring the knowledge of local communities. This paper is informed by findings from two research projects involving digital resources on young people’s digital citizenship, safety, literacy and participation, and the lived experiences of respondents from 10 countries across the Asia Pacific.

为亚太地区LGBTQ+年轻人提供“资源”

长期以来，学者们一直对全球北方组织制定援助计划和资源以解决全球南方不平等问题的发展议程持批评态度，这些议程往往反映了西方的价值观、框架和身份。在当前呼吁将全球南方LGBTQ+年轻人的“资源”非殖民化的呼声中，可以看到批评的回应。从“亚洲作为方法”的后殖民视角出发，并通过“酷儿亚洲作为方法”对该范式进行重新定位，我们主张通过“酷儿”方法，通过集中当地社区的知识，为该地区的LGBTQ+年轻人提供数字资源。本文基于两个研究项目的研究结果，这些研究项目涉及数字资源，涉及年轻人的数字公民身份、安全、扫盲和参与，以及来自亚太地区10个国家的受访者的生活经历。

期刊介绍： Drawing together the most current work upon the social, economic, and cultural impact of the emerging properties of the new information and communications technologies, this journal positions itself at the centre of contemporary debates about the information age. Information, Communication & Society (iCS) transcends cultural and geographical boundaries as it explores a diverse range of issues relating to the development and application of information and communications technologies (ICTs), asking such questions as: -What are the new and evolving forms of social software? What direction will these forms take? -ICTs facilitating globalization and how might this affect conceptions of local identity, ethnic differences, and regional sub-cultures? -Are ICTs leading to an age of electronic surveillance and social control? What are the implications for policing criminal activity, citizen privacy and public expression? -How are ICTs affecting daily life and social structures such as the family, work and organization, commerce and business, education, health care, and leisure activities? -To what extent do the virtual worlds constructed using ICTs impact on the construction of objects, spaces, and entities in the material world? iCS analyses such questions from a global, interdisciplinary perspective in contributions of the very highest quality from scholars and practitioners in the social sciences, gender and cultural studies, communication and media studies, as well as in the information and computer sciences.
