“…In 1994, CONAIE launched the Indigenous Peoples’ Political Project, called for rights related to traditional knowledge, Indigenous languages, sustainable development, nature, Indigenous medicine, intercultural education and communication rights (CONAIE, 1994; Pertierra and Salazar, 2019). Communication serves as the primary medium for Indigenous self-representation, encompassing diverse media and messages disseminated within communities, among various Indigenous groups and towards the wider society.…”

This article focuses on the experiences of developing and using pictograms as visual devices to support Indigenous communities of Amazonian Ecuador. It recognizes the imbalances and contradictions amidst the complex histories and identities of a Latin American state such as Ecuador. The authors emphasize the need to decolonize the design activist imagination and highlight two key issues. The first is in appreciating how historicity operates in this context. The authors show how a non-teleological, historical consciousness is central to processes of deliberation and collaboration. Secondly, they introduce the concept of ‘militant design research’ to understand the role of the activist researcher in this context. These reflections challenge European and North American conceptions of design activism and social design. Consequently, the design-researcher’s subject position shifts away from an extractivist mode and, instead, commits to the tensions and Indigenous political processes within which the pictograms function.

“…Together with local critical scholarly thinking, this movement's praxis is still today "pushing the boundaries of what it means to pensar desde el Sur [think from the South]" (Rodríguez, 2020). Fortunately, a wave of latter publications dialoguing with Latin American traditions (see, amongst many, Barranquero & Baeza, 2017;Enghel & Becerra, 2018;Harlow, 2017;Pertierra & Salazar, 2019;Sierra Caballero & Gravante, 2017;Stephansen & Treré, 2020;Treré, 2019) has updated and expanded the reach of the region's unique media and cultural research, showcasing the contributions of Latin American communication studies to global media research. This is part of an ongoing attempt to "de-Westernize" and "decolonize" concepts and debates in a broad agenda of issues, which progressively permeates communication scholarship too (Waisbord & Mellado, 2014).…”

This introductory essay illustrates the context, clarifies the relevance, and outlines the key themes of this Special Issue on “Latin American Perspectives on Datafication and Artificial intelligence”. It starts pointing out that so far, the engagement of Latin American scholarship in the exploration of data technologies and the rise of intelligent systems has been limited. However, it is argued, Latin American traditions in both research and praxis have much to offer to our understanding of the evolution of the information ecosystem. We propose to map different Latin American perspectives on datafication and AI using an analytical matrix structured along two theme lines, that is three building blocks (infrastructure, imaginaries, practices) and three interpretative lenses (decoloniality and race, feminist theory, pluriversal thinking). Then, we reflect on two procedural issues: the need to consider this Special Issue as a conversation-starter, and the importance of having this conversation in multiple languages and in an open access format. We conclude providing an outline of the various contributions of the Special Issue. Authors address algorithms from the south and coloniality, datafication and corruption, data activism, AI and journalism, and platform labor in the context of Latin America and drawing on Latin American theoretical contributions

“Roots and Trajectories: Essays on the Legacy of Jesús Martín-Barbero in Global Communication Studies” is an introduction to this special collection for Media, Culture & Society’s Crosscurrents. Our introduction serves to contextualize and frame the role of Martín-Barbero’s theoretical roots and epistemological gaze in the essays authored by Omar Rincón (Colombia), Amparo Marroquín Parducci (El Salvador), Marwan Kraidy (Lebanon) and Nick Couldry (United Kingdom). This introduction positions Martín-Barbero’s work as strong evidence of Latin America’s own epistemological and theoretical formation, as we remind our colleagues in the Global North of the need to dialogue with the South in an effort to de-Westernizing communication theory.
