Technicalities and sensitivities
The research group aims to investigate and discuss the ways in which subjectivity is produced in the field of Design, in dialog with other areas of knowledge. The research seeks to explore the multiple possibilities of perception and action in the contemporary world, structured by information and communication technologies. One of the group's areas of study focuses on how perceptions and sensitivities regarding the use of digital technologies are somehow representative in the context of design teaching. Other research addresses issues such as surveillance capitalism and data colonialism, which are crossed by neoliberal logic. We are also investigating the idea of emancipatory education, digital activism and the free software movement. The group is interested in the study of the philosophy of technology and is currently studying the book Technodiversity by the philosopher Yuk Hui, who advocates a multiplicity of cosmotechniques.
