AI, agency, and power geometries
One of the paradoxes of AI is that it is a global phenomenon, but it is always situated in specific local contexts and cultures. While approaches that aim to study local cultures of AI are important, there is the risk of neglecting their insertion within the broader geographies and politics of AI. As a response to this challenge, this article proposes a pathway to apply the concept of power geometries, originally proposed by feminist geographer D…
Rumo a uma teoria popular de algoritmos
his paper establishes dialogs between theories on the popular and critical studies on algorithms and datafication. In doing so, it contributes to reversing the analytical tendency to assume that algorithms have universal effects and that conclusions about “algorithmic power” in the Global North apply unproblematically every-where else. We begin by clarifying how Latin American scholars and other research traditions have theorized the popular (“lo…
Cotidianidades y usos sociales de las tecnologías de la información y comunicación, una mirada crítica desde América Latina
En el marco de la convocatoria 156 de Revista Chasqui se presentan trabajos que exploran la importancia de la vida cotidiana y su papel en la construcción del sentido en las sociedades mediado por las nuevas tecnologías de la información y la comunicación.. El desafío asumido por los editores temáticos busca responder a la pregunta: ¿Cuáles son los aportes de la Escuela Latinoamericana de la Comunicación en los debates tecnológicos
Fluid agency in relation to algorithms
This paper argues for a fluid approach to the study of agency in relation to algorithms, one that promotes crossing the boundaries of established analytical positions and breaking away from dualistic forms to frame its study. Building on various intellectual traditions, we develop three sensibilities for implementing such an approach: (a) working with tensions as an alternative to thinking about algorithmic power and human agency as an either/or …
Coherencia narrativa y desinformación
El estudio investiga el papel de las narrativas en la persistencia de las redes de desinformación de grupos antivacunas. Se realizó un análisis de redes y textual de un corpus de 1,271,115 mensajes de Telegram entre 2020 y 2024. El análisis revela la relevancia de la coherencia narrativa en la difusión de desinformación, que trasciende los actores principales de la red. Los resultados apuntan hacia la necesidad de considerar a la desinformación c…
Doctors for the truth
The antivaccine hesitancy movement represents a challenge to public policy and platform regulations. During COVID-19, various Latin American antivaccine groups clashed with official sanitary initiatives. Despite many responses, little progress has been made in reaching these groups to transform their perceptions about the benefits of the COVID-19 vaccine. During the pandemic in Latin America, the antivaccine network Médicos por la Verdad (Doctors…
Algorithmic governmentality in Latin America
Latin America stands as one of the most unequal regions globally, where economic and social crises persist regardless of the ideological leanings of the ruling governments. Many countries in the region grapple with pervasive issues such as corruption, impunity, and a lack of adherence to the rule of law. In this context of generalized crisis, governments have turned to discourses of innovation and technological progress to justify their actions, …
Transformações sociotécnicas na Comunicação e Educação
A introdução da tecnologia na educação tem se tornado uma tendência global, com diversos países e estados adotando medidas para modernizar o ensino e otimizar processos administrativos. Alguns exemplos incluem o uso de Inteligência Artificial na produção de materiais didáticos e na automação de práticas pedagógicas, como avaliações de desempenho e planejamento de atividades. Esse avanço tecnológico tem desencadeado mudanças profundas na educação.…
Epistemologias de dados, colonialidade do poder e resistência
As assemblagens de dados amplificam formas históricas de colonização através de um arranjo complexo de práticas, materialidades, territórios, corpos e subjetividades. As epistemologias centradas nos dados devem ser entendidas como uma expressão da colonialidade do poder que se manifesta como uma imposição violenta de formas de ser, pensar e sentir que conduzem à expulsão dos seres humanos da ordem social, negam a existência de mundos e epistemolo…
Susana Distancia
Between the end of March and June 2020, COVID-19 quickly spread in Mexico. As a response, the Mexican government announced its national prevention campaign, called ‘Susana Distancia,’ a set of measures, recommendations, conferences, educational resources, and a chatbot. At the centre of the campaign was Susana Distancia’s character, a young woman designed in a comic-book-style, echoing the Mexican lucha libre heroes, who recommended keeping 1.5 m…
My body is mine
The use of mobile applications to track menstrual cycles is becoming more widespread. The proliferation of applications raises concerns about the normalization of the binary construction of gender identities by means of technological innovation and its impact on human rights. Some of these issues include an opaque treatment of users' personal data, the reproduction of gender stereotypes in design, and algorithmic biases. This study adopts a quali…
Mi cuerpo es mío
El uso de aplicaciones móviles para el seguimiento de los ciclos menstruales es cada vez más popular. La proliferación de aplicaciones plantea interrogantes relativas a la normalización de la construcción binaria de las identidades sexo-genéricas a través de desarrollos tecnológicos y su impacto en los derechos humanos. Algunas implicaciones asociadas con el uso de aplicaciones van desde el opaco tratamiento de los datos personales de las persona…
Meme agresión y meme-bullying
Una de las expresiones de la producción memética de los adolescentes es la agresión. Aquí definimos meme-agresión y meme-bullying como prácticas agresivas que se ejercen a través de memes con la intención de ofender, discriminar, señalar características físicas, socio-económicas, ideológicas o de comportamiento. Proponemos un modelo basado en el Modelo General de Agresión (Anderson y Bushman, 2002) y el Circuito de la Comunicación de Jakobson (19…

Ethics for the majority world
In this work, I argue that hegemonic AI is becoming a more powerful force capable of perpetrating global violence through three epistemic processes: datafication (extraction and dispossession), algorithmisation (mediation and governmentality) and automation (violence, inequality and displacement of responsibility). These articulated epistemic mechanisms lead to global classification orders and epistemic, economic, social, cultural and environment…
Data Epistemologies, The Coloniality of Power, and Resistance
Data assemblages amplify historical forms of colonization through a complex arrangement of practices, materialities, territories, bodies, and subjectivities. Data-centric epistemologies should be understood as an expression of the coloniality of power manifested as the violent imposition of ways of being, thinking, and feeling that leads to the expulsion of human beings from the social order, denies the existence of alternative worlds and epistem…
Laboratorios ciudadanos, laboratorios comunes
Vivimos en la era de la revolución de los laboratorios. La emergencia de los laboratorios, como espacios para la experimentación y la producción colaborativa y experimental, abre la discusión sobre la manera en que nos aproximamos a la complejidad social. En este texto buscamos discutir sus posibilidades como marco común, modelo, prototipo, práctica o metodología para repensar la universidad como institución y el campo de las humanidades digitale…
The Wiki Learning Project
Traditional educational models limit learning possibilities to formal and closed environments. However, mobile technologies and digital platforms are changing this paradigm, expanding learning opportunities. Based on the principles of peer knowledge production, we argue that Wikipedia can be used as an open learning environment that serves several purposes: a) it allows the acquisition of basic skills; b) it contributes to collective intelligence…
