Die Beiträge des Workshops gingen in der Regel auf empirische Feldforschung zurück und behandelten die grundlegende Rolle der Informations- und Kommunikationstechnologien im Globalisierungsprozess. Diese Technologien erlauben eine Vernetzung lokaler Akteure mit globalen Informationsströmen. Unterstrichen wurde vor allem die aktive Rolle, die Frauen mit ihren Erfahrungen in der Arbeit in überlokalen Netzwerken in den neuen Medien spielen, und die Herausforderungen, die sich daraus für eine geschlechtsspezifische Analyse von Technologie und Globalisierung ergeben.

"This report presents papers and discussions from the workshop 'Gender and translocal networking through information technology', which took place on February 8th and 9th 2002 at the University of Bielefeld. The workshop was organised by the University's Gender Division of the Sociology of Development Research Centre and was realised in co-operation with the British political scientist Dr. Gillian Youngs, senior lecturer at the Centre for Mass Communication Research, University Leicester, who was invited as special guest and resource person. The workshop was attended by approximately 30 participants. The presentations given by staff members, doctoral students, and diploma students of the research centre were based on empirical fieldwork and raised questions about the fundamental role of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in the process of globalisation. As one of many possible ways of networking ICTs enable local actors to connect to global cultural and informational flows. The participants focused especially on the active part women play in the new media, given their translocal networking experiences, and the resulting challenges for an engendered analysis of technology and globalisation."
