LOPES, Daniel de Queiroz  and  EGGERT, Edla. An introduction to the commitment of emancipatory thinking through digital technologies and craft technologies. Educação. UNISINOS [online]. 2016, vol.20, n.3, pp.278-288. ISSN 2177-6210.  https://doi.org/10.4013/edu.2016.203.01.

This article analyzes the context of contemporary society through a hermeneutics that starts from the domination-exploitation key. It discusses and presents ways to introduce a conceptual basis to think about how technology can be thought of at the interface with the lives of marginalized communities. It identifies critical authors in opposition to the logic of overconsumption, a path that still believes in emancipation and citizen participation. It presents two aspects derived from research carried out in our research groups: locative digital technologies and craft technologies. It argues that the massifying and homogenizing perspective of the global economic system is a problem to be faced, and it points the strategy of giving visibility to localized and marginalized knowledges systems as an alternative path. Finally, it proposes that the emancipatory power of locative digital technologies and craft Technologies lies, respectively, in provoking new perspectives of the world and the establishment of a network of socialization of localized knowledge, plurals and anti-hegemonic.

Keywords : Digital Technologies; Craft Technologies; Emancipation; Localized Knowledges.
