交叉阈限：盲或低视力老年人获取智能手机的体验研究
Intersecting Liminality: Acquiring a Smartphone as a Blind or Low Vision Older Adult
AI总结：
本文通过对22位盲或低视力老年人的质性访谈，提出“交叉阈限”框架，揭示其在视力丧失、衰老与技术获取同时过渡中的边缘化体验，并指出盲人社群互助可帮助穿越阈限，为辅助干预设计提供新视角。
摘要：
老年人正越来越多地获取智能手机。但获取智能手机可能十分困难，而且人们对那些同时失明或正在丧失视力的老年人所面临的特殊挑战知之甚少。我们基于对22位60岁及以上的盲或低视力（BLV）老年人进行的深度质性访谈，揭示了在视力丧失情况下获取智能手机的社会与技术层面问题。通过扎根理论分析，我们发现BLV老年人在获取智能手机以及随着失明而重新获取智能手机的过程中会经历阈限状态，并且他们可以通过参与盲人社群内部的互助来穿越阈限。我们提出了“交叉阈限”（Intersecting Liminality）这一概念，用以解释在视力丧失、衰老和技术获取之间同时过渡所产生的边缘化体验。我们认为，交叉阈限可以作为一个以残障动态本质为中心的框架，帮助我们的研究社群对技术获取形成更细致入微的理解，并设计更有效的辅助干预措施。
英文摘要：
Older adults are increasingly acquiring smartphones. But acquiring smartphones can be difficult, and little is known about the particular challenges of older adults who are additionally blind or losing their vision. We shed light on the social and technical aspects of acquiring smartphones with vision loss, based on deep qualitative interviews with 22 blind or low vision (BLV) older adults aged 60 and over. Through our grounded theory analysis, we found that BLV older adults experience liminality as they acquire smartphones and transition through re-acquiring smartphones as they become blind, and they can transition through liminality by participating in mutual aid within the blind community. We contribute the notion of "Intersecting Liminality," which explains the marginalizing experience of simultaneously transitioning through vision loss, aging, and technology acquisition. We contend that Intersecting Liminality can serve as a framework that centers the dynamic nature of disability to help our community generate a more nuanced understanding of technology acquisition and more effective assistive interventions.
