This question is explored in a Canadian context as the authors study the potential of new technologies to bring hope to traditional coastal communities that have been devastated by the collapse of the east coast fishery.

Cette question se pose dans un contexte canadien alors que les auteures se penchent sur le potentiel qu'ont les nouvelles technologies de faire renaître l'espoir dans les communautés côtières traditionnelles qui ont été affectées par le coup dévastateur de la débâcle des pêcheries de la Côte atlantique. Les résultats mettent au premier plan la tension qui se rattache à la rencontre entre les connaissances traditionnelles et les 'solutions' contemporaines reposant sur la technologie d'une part, les propositions des auteures quant aux façons d'employer la nouvelle technologie d'autre part.
