论文摘要
本文探讨了长期在海上长时间的海员，为海员工作和休息的模式和惯例如何不均匀和不可靠的数字连接塑造如何塑造日常生活的模式和例程。这种零散的连接，当船舶进出连接性或车载数据余量用完时，它们会浮出水面，创建一系列不确定性，这些不确定性可能会使个人安全和集体的安全概念感到不安。本质上，该研究在2018年2月至2018年4月之间为期两周的航行中，在欧洲水域的两个集装箱船上与43名海员订婚。这为数字化的连接，关系和网络提供了经验基础的探索，该探索如何通过越来越多的连接的船只，形状和Reshape Seafarer实现。这项研究的结果表明，海员在数字上促进并协商以数字方式进行联系，以保持与家人和朋友的关系关系。本文结束了结论，提出了未来的研究方向和实践含义，这些含义涉及海上的连通性和安全性。
This paper explores how uneven and often unreliable digital connections shape the patterns and routines of everyday life, work and rest for seafarers, during long periods at sea. Such fragmented connections, which surface when the ship moves in and out of connectivity or when onboard data allowances run out, create a series of uncertainties that might unsettle individual and collective notions of security. Ethnographic in nature, the study engaged 43 seafarers on board two container ships in European waters, during two two-week voyages between February and April 2018. This provided an empirically grounded exploration of how digitally facilitated connections, relations and networks, enabled through increasingly connected ships, shape and reshape seafarer lives. Findings from this study demonstrate the creative ways in which seafarers navigate and negotiate digitally facilitated connections to maintain relational ties with family and friends. The paper concludes by setting out future research directions and practical implications that speak to connectivity and security at sea.
