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.

Although critical studies on peace and conflict studies have addressed the topic of knowledge production and peacebuilding, this is not a highly discussed issue in the literature. There is no unique or unambiguous conceptual framework to analyze this topic. This article shows conceptual elements that must be considered to understand the interaction between local and scientific knowledge in research projects on peace and peacebuilding; and reflects on what types of problems emerge when local and expert knowledge interact within the context of international cooperation projects. Based on the evidence collected during one workshop with Colombian researchers and the analysis of fifty research proposals funded by the German Colombian Peace Institute (CAPAZ) between 2017 and 2021, this article identifies topics, methodologies and products that suggest the existence of hybridization and co-production practices of knowledge when research on peacebuilding and conflict is designed and conceived.

Birding (pajareo) precedes the field of citizen science by decades, if not centuries. However, by being incorporated into institutional programs and digital platforms [Invernizzi, N. 2020. “Public Participation and Democratization: Effects on the Production and Consumption of Science and Technology.” Tapuya: Latin American Science, Technology and Society 3 (1): 227–253. https://do.org/10.1080/25729861.2020.1835225], birding has been inscribed into the logic of data-intensive science [Scroggins, M. J., and I. V. Pasquetto. 2020. “Labor Out of Place: On the Varieties and Valences of (In)Visible Labor in Data-Intensive Science.” Engaging Science, Technology, and Society 6:111–132. https://do.org/10.17351/ests2020.341], with the premise of increasing the number of volunteers to accumulate more and more data. The history of these practices in Mexico is very recent, dating back only about 15 years. The explosion in the number of practitioners since then has been largely the product of institutional arrangements and top-down initiatives carried out by Mexican government environmental agencies. Building on recent STS approaches to public participation that conceive citizen science as a situated and contextual phenomenon, I propose that public policies can be legitimately used to create publics. From the study of interviews, visual materials, participant observation in birding field trips, and other ethnographic materials, I recover the different stories that have led to the creation of brigades, groups, and observation clubs in Mexico. I argue that this approach allows us to go beyond normative positions and present a much more complex reality than the mere instrumental relationship between institutions and communities.
观鸟(pajareo)比公民科学领域早几十年，如果不是几个世纪的话。然而，通过将其纳入机构计划和数字平台[Invernizzi, N. 2020]。公众参与与民主化:对科技生产与消费的影响中国科学技术与社会，3(1):227-253。https://do.org/10.1080/25729861.2020.1835225]，观鸟已经被嵌入到数据密集型科学的逻辑中[Scroggins, m.j.和i.v. Pasquetto. 2020]。错位的劳动:论数据密集型科学中可见劳动的种类和价值参与科学，技术和社会6:111-132。https://do.org/10.17351/ests2020.341]，在增加志愿者人数的前提下积累越来越多的数据。这些做法在墨西哥的历史很近，只有大约15年的历史。从那时起，从业者数量的爆炸式增长在很大程度上是墨西哥政府环境机构实施的制度安排和自上而下的倡议的产物。基于最近STS的公众参与方法，我建议公共政策可以合法地用于创造公众，这些方法将公民科学视为一种情境和背景现象。通过对采访、视觉材料、观鸟实地考察中的参与观察和其他人种学材料的研究，我发现了导致在墨西哥建立旅、团体和观察俱乐部的不同故事。我认为，这种方法使我们能够超越规范立场，呈现出比机构和社区之间的工具关系更为复杂的现实。
