  • The present paper discusses questions related to the histories of videogames, more specifically in how we approach videogames in Global South. By using Zeebo, a Brazilian console produced in the late 2000s as an epistemic tool, I discuss the limitations of universalist, mainstream-centric epistemological models for exploring videogames as cultural phenomena. By investigating Zeebo’s discourses about piracy and players in the Global South, I argue that this platform can be seen as a partial decolonial project, destabilising conventional historical narratives about South-North relationships in videogames, but refraining from challenging a mainstream, Global North oriented epistemology. This exploratory work, therefore, elaborates on how a decolonial project of history of videogames, one that is more epistemically just to Global South, could be sought.

  • "Through innovative and critical research, this anthology inquires and challenges issues of race and positionality, empirical sciences, colonial education models, and indigenous knowledges. Chapter authors from diverse backgrounds present empirical explorations that examine how decolonial work and Indigenous knowledges disrupt, problematize, challenge, and transform ongoing colonial oppression and colonial paradigm. This book utilizes provocative and critical research that takes up issues of race, the shortfalls of empirical sciences, colonial education models, and the need for a resurgence in Indigenous knowledges to usher in a new public sphere. This book is a testament of hope that places decolonization at the heart of our human community." -- Prové de l'editor.

  • En esta conversación entre la cineasta documental Marta Rodríguez y Pedro Pablo Gómez, antes que hacer un recorrido cronológico por el trabajo la artista, se abordan problemas tranversales que están presentes a lo largo de su obra: el cine documental como modo de representación; la construcción de una metodología del cine documental latinoamericano; el carácter decolonial de la obra de Rodríguez y su compromiso indeclinable durante más de cuatro décadas de acompañar las luchas de campesinos, indígenas y afrodescendientes, entre otros. Y es en este abordaje donde Marta Rodríguez, haciendo uso de una memoria extraordinaria, puede tejer un relato en el que se destaca la ética de la artista y su compromiso indeclinable de denuncia de las injusticias sociales, utilizando las tecnologías del cine, no para hablar por las víctimas, sino para hacer escuchar sus voces y mantener vivas sus imágenes; unas imágenes que interpelan el discurso colonial mediante el cual se ha tejido nuestro relato de nación. Dans cette conversation entre la cinéaste documentaire Marta Rodríguez et Pedro Pablo Gómez, avant d'entreprendre une tournée chronologique de l'œuvre de l'artiste, nous traitons les problèmes transversaux présents tout au long de son travail : le cinéma documentaire comme mode de représentation ; la construction d'une méthodologie du documentaire latino-américain; la nature décoloniale de l'œuvre de Rodríguez et son engagement pendant plus de quatre décennies pour accompagner les luttes des paysans, des indigènes et des Afro-descendants, entre autres. Et c'est dans cette approche que Marta Rodríguez, avec une mémoire extraordinaire, peut tisser une histoire qui souligne l'éthique de l'artiste et son engagement indécelable à dénoncer les injustices sociales, en utilisant les technologies du cinéma –pour ne pas parler en lieu des victimes, mais pour faire entendre leur voix et garder leurs images vivantes. Des images qui contestent le discours colonial par lequel notre récit de nation a été tissé.

  • Combines post-modern theory with the comic wisdom of the tribal trickster to explore the effects of nostalgic simulations of "Indian-ness".
