Big Data from the South: From media to mediations, from datafication to 
data activism
Organizers:  Stefania Milan (University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands) & 
Emiliano Treré (Scuola Normale Superiore, Italia).

Critical scholarship has exposed how big data brings along new and 
opaque regimes of population management, control, and discrimination. 
Building on this scholarship, this pre-conference engages in a dialogue 
with traditions that critique the dominance of Western approaches to 
datafication that do not recognize the diversity of the Global South. 
Moving from datafication to data activism, this event will examine the 
diverse ways through which citizens and the organized civil society in 
the Global South engage in bottom-up data practices for social change as 
well as resistance to “dark” uses of big data that increase oppression 
and inequality.
Location: Cartagena, Colombia

Date and Time: July 15, 2017, 10am-6pm

Descripción de la conferencia: La crítica académica ha hecho evidente 
cómo el big data implica nuevos y opacos regímenes de gestión 
demográfica, control y discriminación. Con base en estas elaboraciones, 
la pre-conferencia se involucra en un diálogo con las tradiciones 
críticas al dominio de las perspectivas occidentales sobre la 
dataficación, que no reconocen la diversidad del Sur Global. 
Trasladándose de la dataficación al activismo de datos, este evento 
examinará las maneras diversas en que los ciudadanos y la sociedad civil 
organizada en el Sur Global se involucran en prácticas de datos 
horizontales en pro del cambio social, así como en resistencias frente a 
usos “oscuros” de los big data que aumentan la opresión y la desigualdad.
