Toward reunion: Conversations, criticisms, reconfigurations of ICTD https://www.4sonline.org/143-toward-reunion-conversations-criticisms-reconfigurations-of-ictd/
This panel approaches the theme of knowledges and technosciences for living together through the lens of Information and Communication Technologies for Development (ICTD). ICTD is a contested and multidisciplinary field and banner for projects that try to address systemic and societal issues (infrastructure, connectivity, socio-economics, education, etc.) through innovation and reconfiguration of information and communication technologies.
The description of the joint meeting states that “Reunion indicates there has been a break in relations, providing an opportunity to engage differently, this time.” ICTD can include novel forms of neocolonial extraction but also enacting relationality and the responsibility of living well together. We invite papers from/about ICTD, or those that disavow that ICTD/development, on the theme of reunion. Reunion, perhaps, between technosciences, internationalism, and critique of development.
We welcome submissions in both the social studies of technologies in development and the social studies of ICTD-the-field. We invite papers from a variety of contexts, including but not limited to:
-
Decolonial and postcolonial computing -
Indigenous knowledges in design/production of technologies -
Tools of knowledge production in development and ICTD -
Critique and analysis of development paradigm; alternatives to development -
Transnational flows of computing materials -
Ethical practices of development practitioners -
Community-centered work, perspectives, and relationships between a communities and researcher/practitioner collaborators -
Transfers, translations, and lifecycles of ICTD collaborations and technologies

Hacia el reencuentro: Conversaciones, críticas, reconfiguraciones de las TICD https://www.4sonline.org/143-toward-reunion-conversations-criticisms-reconfigurations-of-ictd/
Este panel aborda el tema de los saberes y las tecnociencias para la convivencia a través del lente de las Tecnologías de la Información y la Comunicación para el Desarrollo (TICD). TICD es un campo disputado y multidisciplinario para proyectos que intentan abordar problemas sistémicos y sociales (infraestructura, conectividad, socioeconomía, educación, etc.) a través de la innovación y la reconfiguración de las tecnologías de la información y la comunicación.
La descripción de la reunión conjunta establece que "La reunión indica que ha habido una ruptura en las relaciones, lo que brinda la oportunidad de participar de manera diferente, esta vez". TICD puede incluir formas novedosas de extracción neocolonial, pero también promulgar la relacionalidad y la responsabilidad del buen vivir. Invitamos artículos de/sobre TICD, aquellos que rechazan TICD/desarrollo, o sobre el tema de la reunión. Reunión, quizás, entre tecnociencias, internacionalismo y crítica del desarrollo.
Damos la bienvenida a presentaciones tanto en estudios sociales de tecnologías en desarrollo como en estudios sociales del campo TICD. Invitamos artículos de variedad de contextos, que incluyen, entre otros:
-
Computación decolonial y poscolonial -
Conocimientos indígenas en el diseño/producción de tecnologías -
Herramientas de producción de conocimiento en desarrollo y TIC -
Crítica y análisis del paradigma del desarrollo; alternativas al desarrollo -
Flujos transnacionales de materiales informáticos -
Prácticas éticas y razonamiento moral de los practicantes del desarrollo -
Trabajo centrado en la comunidad, perspectivas y relaciones entre comunidades y colaboradores investigadores/practicantes -
Transferencias, traducciones y ciclos de vida de colaboraciones TIC y tecnologías
