ABSTRACT This text is the translation of an interview given by Brazilian anthropologist, professor, and Brazilian Black Movement activist Lélia Gonzalez (1935–1994) at the beginning of the 1980s. Gonzalez, who is today enthusiastically incorporated into the academic anthropology after decades of silence in Brazil, exposes here some of the particularities of her stunning life itinerary. She has challenged Brazilian social theory by bringing forward the need for an approach that considers race, gender, and coloniality, and has worked towards an open dialogue with Latin American realities, including Brazil's. Her contribution has been recognized as essential by public intellectuals such as Angela Davis, and her reemergence has to do with the growing demand of decolonizing the Brazilian Academy, issued by the Black movement and other social movements in the country. The translation, having Brazilian Portuguese as the language of origin, has been made by anthropologists, social scientists, and translators from the RECânone Community Project, linking the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte and the University of Brasília, both public centers of higher education in the country. Translators added notes aiming to help a non-Brazilian audience understand the racial, social, and cultural context where Gonzalez produced her academic and activist work.

ABSTRACT Researchers have argued that data colonialism is paving the way for a new stage of capitalism, defined as the result of the appropriation and trade of “datafied” human experience (Couldry and Mejias 2019). While we agree that data colonialism normalizes the exploitation of human beings through data, we also contend that the analysis of the materiality of this exploitation should be extended to both bodies and territories. There is a research gap in the literature on territorializing the Internet and rendering its power asymmetries visible. In order to advance in filling this research gap, this article reviews two concepts to make sense of the digital colonialism in Latin America. On the one hand, we discuss Latour’s concept of “terrestrial politics” (2017, 2018; Latour and Weibel 2020. On the other hand, we examine the notion of “cuerpo-territorio” (body-territories) (Cabnal 2010; Colectivo Miradas Critiques 2017) and conduct a critical dialogue between terrestrial politics and body-territory. We argue that the notion of body-territories can contribute to Latour's proposal for a terrestrial politics by rendering visible the power relationships on the territories that sustain our digital society.
研究人员认为，数据殖民主义正在为资本主义的新阶段铺平道路，这被定义为“数据化”人类经验的挪用和交易的结果(Couldry and Mejias 2019)。虽然我们同意数据殖民主义通过数据使对人类的剥削正常化，但我们也认为，对这种剥削的实质性分析应扩展到机构和领土。关于互联网的属地化和权力不对称的显现，文献研究存在空白。为了填补这一研究空白，本文回顾了两个概念，以理解拉丁美洲的数字殖民主义。一方面，我们讨论了拉图尔的“陆地政治”概念(2017,2018;拉图尔和韦贝尔2020。另一方面，我们研究了“cuerpo-territorio”(身体领土)的概念(Cabnal 2010;集体Miradas批评2017)，并在陆地政治和身体领土之间进行批判性对话。我们认为，身体领土的概念可以促进拉图尔关于地球政治的提议，因为它使维持我们数字社会的领土上的权力关系变得可见。

ABSTRACT The “metric turn” is shaping human rights knowledge, governance and politics globally. This article seeks to contribute to the emergent analysis of numbers in human rights matters from a Latin American perspective. We explore a phenomenon that is hard to count; the number of victims of forced disappearance –persons who are kidnapped and murdered, and whose bodies are disposed of. And we study it in three contexts of political institutional violence on the continent – the dictatorship in Chile (1973–1990), the armed conflict of Colombia (1958–), and México's dirty wars (1964–1998) and narco-conflicts (2002–). Focusing on numbers' liveliness, we draw from interviews, institutional documents and archive analysis to examine the trajectory of the number of forced disappeared persons and how it mobilizes and is shaped by human rights concerns. Transitivity is crucial in the trajectory and liveliness of numbers. Challenging the view that numbers only prove effective when decontextualized, we show that transitivity is a mathematical, cognitive, and political achievement, and identify the effects of transitive but also of referential and provisional numbers in the human rights field. Particularly, how they contribute to the acknowledgement and handling of human rights violations, pushing for the production of accountability regimes.

ABSTRACT Understanding public activities and developing thoughtful public health strategies are key goals in efforts to manage the COVID-19 pandemic. This paper explores how seismic noise data can be used as part of such efforts. We show that the fluctuation of seismic noise levels has the capacity to demonstrate aggregate human movement. When considered in relation to major public health efforts, these data can help us evaluate the effectiveness of public health communication strategies that seek to limit social activity. We show evidence that, broadly speaking, Mexican national efforts to encourage “lockdown” worked for a few months in areas around seismic stations, and broke down as time went on. Further, we suggest that changes in the levels of human activity detected in seismic noise can be read alongside social data that provide some clues as to why people respond or not to health recommendations. Our findings have implications for both efforts to understand the nature and effects of public trust in the Mexican state and also the practicalities of using seismic noise data in this manner. An interdisciplinary analysis allows us to address these data and their possible use in a way that takes seriously the opportunities and challenges that emerge in the context of contemporary biopolitics and emerging configurations of surveillance technologies. Analyzing anthropogenic seismic activity opens up new opportunities for ethical data collection and use.

ABSTRACT In this paper, we discuss the meanings assumed by citizen science for the regulation of therapeutic and medical uses of cannabis in Argentina, considering the mobilization of experiences in three municipalities of the province of Buenos Aires. Through conceptual tools of the STS field and techniques such as documentary analysis of resolutions and ordinances, participant observation, and in-depth interviews, we address the role of proximity experienced locally in the development of municipal regulation initiatives; the combination of different types of expertise (technical, scientific, medical, legal, experiential); and the processes of resignification and change of social identifications. The research shows that local regulations emerge from a heterogeneous social base that, in the form of citizen science, produces, uses, and transmits diverse expertise around the therapeutic uses of the plant and its derivatives. It also reveals that the construction processes of local government policies promote new social perceptions of certain groups (supportive growers, physicians, child users) that influence the way that therapeutic cannabis is settled as a public problem.
