We would like to share with you a recent article: Where are we looking? A possible Path for Repoliticizing Technology. The article gathers organizational experiences on the path toward creating and using digital technologies from non-hegemonic perspectives, including the experience we build in our daily life at May First:
At this point in digital life, you will have come across more than once a sentence referring to the fact that technologies are not neutral, but respond to social, political and economic factors that are not made explicit. But… they don’t seem to be, do they? Or at least, knowing this is not enough for us to take action and move toward a vision of the world that does not resemble the vision of the technologies we use. We recognize that a handful of corporations codify our illusions, control what we see and impose the platforms on which we work, but we don’t see options beyond that. Where are we looking? How willing are we to relearn and reconnect with the digital technologies we use on a daily basis? What would we do it for?
We invite you to read it and continue adding reflections and actions to strengthen the processes of technology and social justice from broad perspectives.
