Critical Technical Practices:a taxonomy for a critique from the south

This text addresses the question, what forms does the critique of digital technologies take in Latin America? This does not imply a list of examples, nor a theory about criticism in its own sense, but it is based on a questioning of what specifically means to make critique from the South. As an approach aimed at generating a space for such inquiry, this text offers a current taxonomy of these forms. Clearly, this is not an exhaustive undertaking, and as such does not offer a map of philosophical thinking about digital technology. Instead, four taxonomic categories are distinguished in which the notion of criticism takes a different form: a) Digital Literacy, b) Criticism from the South, c) Practices of Resistance, and d) Critical-Technical Practices.
