Kindle Technology of the oppressed
How Brazilian favela residents engage with and appropriate technologies both to fight the oppression in their lives and to represent themselves in the world Brazilian favelas are impoverished settlements usually located on hillsides or the outskirts of a city In Technology of the Oppressed David Nemer draws on extensive ethnographic fieldwork to provide a rich account of how favela residents engage with technology in community technology centers and in their everyday lives Their stories reveal the structural violence of the information age But they also show how those oppressed by technology don t just reject it but consciously resist and appropriate it and how their experiences with digital technologies enable them to navigate both digital and nondigital sources of oppression and even at times to flourish Nemer uses a decolonial and intersectional framework called Mundane Technology as an analytical tool to understand how digital technologies can simultaneously be sites of oppression and tools in the fight for freedom Building on the work of the Brazilian educator and philosopher Paulo Freire he shows how the favela residents appropriate everyday technologies technological artifacts cell phones Facebook operations repair and spaces Telecenters and Lan Houses and use them to alleviate the oppression in their everyday lives He also addresses the relationship of misinformation to radicalization and the rise of the new far right Contrary to the simplistic techno optimistic belief that technology will save the poor even with access to technology these marginalized people face numerous sources of oppression including technological biases racism classism sexism and censorship Yet the spirit love community resilience and resistance of favela residents make possible their pursuit of freedom Technology of the Oppressed Inequity and the Digital Mundane in Favelas of Brazil The Information Society Series Technology of the OppressedBook 19 of 2023 Nemer uses Paulo Freire as a canvas on which to paint a critique that has elements of Actor Network Theory and Critical Technology Theory to explain how digital technologies oppress It s not enough to bridge a digital divide we must use tech to liberate To illustrate this he studies the digital lives of residents of Brazil s favelas The narrative here could use some refinement frankly Lots of 25 cent words and driving us out of the way to add citations that don t support the main arguments One aspect that merits scrutiny is that although the book is new 2022 the field work supporting it is not 2012 2013 A lot has happened in that decade Snowden Marco Civil Bolsonaro COVID the move from telecenters to mobile etc Nemer tries to cover these gaps but the story in the favelas as in so many other places had moved forward The favelas are a useful backdrop for this study in ICT4D They are a world apart largely self governing and places where terms of citizenship and citizen rights are in contrast to the rest of the city dwellers they look above or around In brazil some 12 million people about 1 in 20 live in a favela They re places where government has largely been absent leading people to do things for themselves how does that translate to a Search Engine or a Word Processor or other quotidian tech However there s an element of I m the enlightened rich guy that gets the favelas and you aren t that is pretty unhelpful here The author come across as someone you d probably avoid at parties 230 Muito muito bom Recomendo E se bom gado bolsominion odeiaaaaaaaaaa D 230 O livro me trouxe muitas reflex es sobre o uso da tecnologia nas diferentes camadas sociais de ra a e classe No in cio pensei que seria uma vis o de como os aplicativos s o utilizados e empregados no dia a dia de quem mora na favela mas me trouxe uma vis o muito mais ampla me mostrando o que est por tr s do uso ou do n o uso de um smartphone e computador.
