Ripensare datafication, algorithmic resistance, data ethics ect da un punto di vista "Sud" (qualcunque Sud..). Magari interessa a qualcuno di voi? Cari saluti, Stefania [Español abajo] Deadline for abstract: March 1st Big Data from the South: From media to mediations, from datafication to data activism Organizers: Stefania Milan (University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands) & Emiliano Treré (Scuola Normale Superiore, Italia). Critical scholarship has exposed how big data brings along new and opaque regimes of population management, control, and discrimination. Building on this scholarship, this pre-conference engages in a dialogue with traditions that critique the dominance of Western approaches to datafication that do not recognize the diversity of the Global South. Moving from datafication to data activism, this event will examine the diverse ways through which citizens and the organized civil society in the Global South engage in bottom-up data practices for social change as well as resistance to “dark” uses of big data that increase oppression and inequality. Location: Cartagena, Colombia Date and Time: July 15, 2017, 10am-6pm http://cartagena2017.iamcr.org/big-data-from-the-south-from-media-to-mediati... ------- Big Data desde el sur: de los medios a las mediaciones, de la dataficación al activismo de datos http://cartagena2017.iamcr.org/big-data-from-the-south-from-media-to-mediati... Organizadores: Stefania Milan (University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands), Emiliano Treré (Scuola Normale Superiore, Italia). Fecha y Hora: Julio 15, 2017 de 10am – 6pm Descripción de la conferencia: La crítica académica ha hecho evidente cómo el big data implica nuevos y opacos regímenes de gestión demográfica, control y discriminación. Con base en estas elaboraciones, la pre-conferencia se involucra en un diálogo con las tradiciones críticas al dominio de las perspectivas occidentales sobre la dataficación, que no reconocen la diversidad del Sur Global. Trasladándose de la dataficación al activismo de datos, este evento examinará las maneras diversas en que los ciudadanos y la sociedad civil organizada en el Sur Global se involucran en prácticas de datos horizontales en pro del cambio social, así como en resistencias frente a usos “oscuros” de los big data que aumentan la opresión y la desigualdad. ---------------------- Stefania Milan, PhD University of Amsterdam || mediastudies.nl || Principal Investigator, DATACTIVE || data-activism.net Councilor, Generic Names Supporting Organization, ICANN mobile: [31] 62 7875 425 (NL) || [1] 647 - 973 - 6533 (CA) || [+39] 333 - 2309945 (I) stefaniamilan.net || @annliffey fingerprint: 7606 4526 3D24 20B2 C850 EA42 A497 CB70 04B5 A3B The information transmitted is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.
