ABSTRACT Research management instruments (RMIs) are organizational mechanisms that shape scientific work and influence the trajectory of scientific fields within universities. This qualitative study examines 80 RMIs implemented by eight research-oriented universities in Chile between 1998 and 2021. The findings reveal that these institutions employ policies prioritizing competition as the primary means of accessing funding and opportunities, contributing to the concentration of resources among established researchers participating in international circuits. Consequently, RMIs establish hierarchies within the research community based on individual merit, disregarding the material conditions that may hinder productivity for certain actors. Furthermore, these instruments discourage participation in national and regional scientific communication networks. By highlighting the impact of RMIs, this research enhances our understanding of the organizational mechanisms that shape scientific work in Chilean universities, offering insights into the challenges and opportunities researchers face in the country’s higher education system. Future studies should explore alternative participation circuits within Chilean universities and compare experiences across Latin American regions to understand how local institutions align with global evaluation criteria.

David Nemer conducts an ethnographic study to analyze how favela residents appropriate everyday technologies, not only artifacts but spaces and processes, in order to alleviate oppressions in daily life. Nemer applies the concept of Mundane Technologies, which encompasses everyday, non-productive activities and desires that engage people. Embedded in the appropriation of these technologies are the processes of how people exercise their agency and consciousness, to mobilize towards a better quality of life, i.e. how they critically and consciously reinvent technology. According to the author, this constitutes acts of hope in the search for liberation. The book is grounded in Freirean theory, and Nemer brings several concepts of Paulo Freire to support his argument, such as the notion of oppression,

ABSTRACT This article aims to present an emerging perspective for analyzing digital technologies, centering around the concepts of pluriversality and communality, and drawing on the experiences of the Network of Communicators Boca de Polen, a civil organization that has been supporting community and indigenous radios in Chiapas, Mexico for over two decades. Using a Participatory Action Research framework, the study delves into the network's experiences and those of the radios it has accompanied, revealing a profound interplay of sociotechnical practices deeply rooted in communal experiences. It sheds light on a particular pathway of technology appropriation and resistance and, by shifting the place of enunciation, explores new dimensions of concerns and possibilities enabled by digital technologies. The experiential knowledge gained from Boca de Polen is presented as a tangible manifestation of a pluriversal vision of technology, vital for fostering inclusive critical reflections on the multifaceted implications of digital technologies.
ABSTRACT This article aims to present an emerging perspective for analyzing digital technologies, around the concepts of pluriversality and communality, and drawing on the experiences of the Network of Communicators Boca de Polen, a civil organization that has been supporting community and indigenous radio in Chiapas, Mexico for over twenty decades.本研究采用参与式行动研究框架,深入探讨了该网络的经验及其所支持的广播电台的经验,揭示了深深植根于社区经验的社会技术实践的深刻相互作用。它揭示了技术占有和抵制的特殊途径,并通过转移表述的位置,探索了数字技术带来的新的关注点和可能性。从 Boca de Polen 获得的经验知识是技术的多元视角的具体体现,对于促进对数字技术的多方面影响进行包容性的批判性思考至关重要。

This paper opens the black box of policy co-production processes presented by the Colombian and Ecuadorian governments, regarding the traditional knowledge associated with genetic resources, in keeping with the necessities of Indigenous peoples. The purpose of this paper is to analyze what similarities and differences there exist in the role of the Ecuadorian and Colombian States as organizers, guarantors of plural expression, and facilitators of public deliberation, and how policymakers have opened the space for Indigenous peoples for producing traditional knowledge policy. The paper turns to qualitative research focused on collecting information from public actors. The data obtained assesses our working hypothesis that the role of the State in the production of traditional knowledge policy has been more democratic in Ecuador than in Colombia.
