Michelle Prazeres replied to the topic "Love the 'cracks in the logic'"

Publication: BigTech hidden curriculum and acceleration prescription

I really love your approach to identify "cracks in the logic" of the big tech agenda. I think this is so important in order to find ways to resist but also reframe the role of technology, what goes 'under the radar'. I did a little of this in my ethnography of datafication in a secondary school. I'd also like to know more about the ideas of acceleration of school time and school socialization and how these connect.  I'd love to talk to you more about your work - sorry we didn't get to connect during the workshop but maybe there will be opportunities later on? @lyndsayg on twitter or [email protected] if you want to connect.

Publication: Virtual Ambiance and Performance Implied in Digital Platforms: Modeling Users’ Autonomy, Experiences, and Profiles

Very nice, Guilherme. I love the way you put it: translating selves into users. Too bad your paper is not available, I would like to know more about the model and how it relates to Peircean semiotics. Now, from a more philosophical point of view, I wonder if we could think of this ongoing process, as you explained, in the same vein of the self-user. The psycologycal self is always evolving, too, I guess, but often repressing stuff from lived experience into the depths of the psyche, whereas the user seems to star of as an underdeveloped self for the designer who repreesses features because of certain predujicial choices or lack of lived experiences (in other cultures or ethnic landscapes, for instance). I am really interested in these information - matter - information translations of the digital subject, so your paper was very insiteful for me, thank you!

Publication: Digital culture and public security in Brazil: From local content to data activism

Thank you for this nice presentation, Tori. I am interested in data literacies and data storytelling, but I guess I have been focusing too much on the language ot it and not enough on the practices and their effects. It's interesting that the Observatório's case you discussed seems to be a coalition that covers the whole data cycle, from groups that gather data 'in loco' to those who analyse it and communicate it through infographs, to those who use the infographs to ask striking questions to the authorities in terms (statistics, data) that are usually used by authorities to weasel out of their responsabilities. It strikes me as counterpoint to the corporate social media ecosystem where users are basically suppliers of data they don't know they are supplying to answer questions about themselves they do not even know are being asked and what for. Your keynote gave me lots of insights, thank you so much once again.
