El Centro Nacional de las Artes (CENART) de México, el Centro de Investigación en Tecnologías y Saberes Comunitarios (CITSAC) en colaboración con otras organizaciones, organizan el encuentro “Alteridades tecnológicas. Otros mundos”. Se realizará de manera virtual del 14 al 16 de octubre.
Durante tres días sostendremos conversaciones con invitados de distintas regiones, quienes hablarán de sus prácticas comunitarias, mediante internet u otros dispositivos tecnológicos; pondremos sobre la mesa el problema de la alteridad y su relación con una noción de tecnología no capitalista. Pensaremos si otro u otros internets son posibles, otras materializaciones o digitalizaciones de lo comunitario que no pasen por el tamiz eurocéntrico y colonial. Pondremos en cuestión el asistencialismo tecnológico, el capacitismo, la alfabetización tecnológica y la imposición de habilidades técnicas.
Queremos escuchar y hablar sobre lo tecnológico a partir de la invención de las formas de estar juntos y sostener la vida, pensar así, desde este lugar, la abstracción de lo tecnológico, de los objetos técnicos: todo ello hacia la construcción de autonomías tecnológicas. Queremos preguntarnos si los actuales discursos sobre lo tecnológico enmudecen otras tecnologías no capitalistas; intentar deshacernos de lugares comunes que replican las nociones tecnológicas colonialistas para asumir una inevitabilidad tecnológica que oscurece responsabilidades. No pensar a las comunidades como receptoras pasivas de las tecnologías, sino como agentes de lo tecnológico, inventoras de sus propias formas de lo tecnológico, no sólo destinadas a la apropiación y aplicación eficiente. Dejar de forzar los conceptos y discursos emancipatorios dominantes a todas las singularidades comunitarias.

Imagine living in a society in which most of the land and buildings available for meeting and working were owned by a few for-profit corporations. Churches, governments, groups of friends, schools, nonprofits, and grassroots social movements would each have to reserve space on – or have a key to – a privately-owned facility, often on a large corporate campus, in order to meet and work together. It would be a society with no domed capitol buildings, city halls, temples, open campuses, public parks, community centers, or nonprofit spaces.
Fortunately, this is not the society we live in, but it does describe the online spaces where our digital information is stored and where much of contemporary life - including civil society action - now takes place. This scenario is inherently threatening to democracies, in which free expression and public participation presuppose people have both the ability and space to assemble outside of corporate or government monitoring.
Please join us in Reclaiming Digital Infrastructure for the Public Interesthttps://pacscenter.stanford.edu/research/digital-civil-society-lab/reclaiming-digital-infrastructure-for-the-public-interest/. This is a 3-part series to build awareness, intention, and engagement in an ecosystem of ideas and practices that could bring into being digital infrastructure that aligns with community aspirations, protects personal and group safety, and prioritizes people, communities, and a public good.
The three part series will take place on:
- October 20, from 9:00 a.m. - 10:30 a.m. PST Register herehttps://pacscenter.stanford.edu/event/digital-public-infrastructural-possibilities/
- October 27, from 900 a.m. - 10:30 a.m. PST Register herehttps://pacscenter.stanford.edu/event/digital-public-infrastructure-a-corporation-for-public-software/
- November 10, from 9:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. PST (including a short break) Register herehttps://pacscenter.stanford.edu/event/where-what-and-who-is-digital-public-infrastructure/
The first session features Ethan Zuckerman making a case for digital public infrastructurehttps://knightcolumbia.org/content/the-case-for-digital-public-infrastructure. He will join in conversation with activists and policy advocates who approach these ideas through the lens of equity, indigeneity, and public responsibility. All of the sessions will include time for participation by attendees.
The second session features John Gastil and Todd Davies?s proposal for a Corporation for Public Softwarehttps://arxiv.org/abs/1910.08604. They will be in conversation with experts on regulatory, legal, and conceptual approaches to how we think about infrastructure.
Laura DeNardis will join in conversation with Beatrice Martini for the third session. They will consider the internet as an ?on/off? switchhttps://www.lauradenardis.com/internet-in-everything and how the digitization of physical systems and places influences our most fundamental rights. They will be joined by experts building physical/digital alternatives. This session will include breakouts to give participants time to discuss potential paths forward.
