For Free Information and Open Internet (Daudén, Campelo, Ritimo)
ByEdward Eggleston 2020-06-242022-02-07

“… it’s important to remember that technology alone will not lead to [positive] social change. This will only happen if technology is appropriated by each and every one of us and anchored in local knowledge and collective participation. It requires people to make a call on how and why this or that technology should be used and adapt it to the political and socio-economic context in which they live.” (E. Campelo)

Para una información e Internet libres (Daudén, Campelo, Ritimo)
ByEdward Eggleston 2020-06-19

“Los límites del derecho a la libertad de expresión, tal como decíamos, comienzan a hacerse obvios en el transcurrir de los años 1960 y de los 1970 con la propagación y consolidación de los medios de comunicación de masas (sobre todo la televisión), que revolucionaron las dimensiones del fenómeno comunicacional y evidenciaron su inclinación multidireccional: no se es libre sólo emitiendo información sino también buscando, recibiendo y compartiéndola.” (L. Daudén)

IT capitalism [3]: politics (G. Lins Ribeiro)
ByEdward Eggleston 2020-06-112022-02-07

“A more sophisticated understanding of intellectual cooperation and innovation calls for the understanding of great sociological, economic, political and technological forces surrounding them. In this essay, I discuss the hegemony of electronic-computer capitalism and the changes it provokes in economic, academic and political life, in order to situate in a larger context the issues and challenges we currently face.” (G.
