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

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.
