Abstract

ASPIS, Renata Lima. Technopolitcs and education: theft, surveillance and modulation. Educação. Santa Maria [online]. 2022, vol.47, e71632.  Epub Aug 07, 2024. ISSN 1984-6444.  https://doi.org/10.5902/1984644471632.

The main goal of this article is to comment on a number of questions and concepts that are not specifically from the education field to problematize the current adherence of Brazilian public universities to digital platforms developed and owned by north-american corporations. The article analyzes and criticizes the inner workings of the mechanisms of data theft, surveillance and manipulation of user’s subjectivities, explaining them to then discuss the urgent matters of critical thinking in today’s world. Thought is understood not only as actions of analysis and criticism but also, according to Deleuze, as creation. The conclusion is that there is a pressing need to acknowledge the problem of the capture of life operated by big tech corporations of the global north and because of that understand the necessity of the creation of a movement of resistance to the attempt of destitution of the sovereignty of brazilian public universities over their knowledge and knowledge creation process through data theft and control.
