Alexander I. Stingl

The Digital Coloniality of Power

Epistemic Disobedience in the Social Sciences and the Legitimacy of the Digital Age

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book makes trouble: it explores the reality that digital culture is largely an extension of an older coloniality of power of the global north. It suggests a line of inquiry for the social sciences to reflect on their own imperial role and develop a contemporary critical and pragmatic scope, shifting their gaze from problems to opportunities.
