Addressing such contestation the current study uses ethnographic field research and content analysis to create a grounded understanding of 'the hacker'.

The final result is that hacking is identified as a kind of transgressive craft or craft(y). pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
