Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El mundo se encuentra en plena transformación digital, un proceso que está alterando drásticamente las formas de producir, consumir, y, en suma, de vivir, heredados de la economía industrial del siglo xx. La tecnología ha calado profundamente en las sociedades, convirtiéndose en una realidad próxima de la que gran parte de la población participa y se beneficia. Los países de América Latina no son ajenos a esta gran tendencia, y han asumido el compromiso firme de orientar sus marcos productivos e institucionales hacia la digitalización como una forma de impulsar la productividad y la competitividad que garanticen el crecimiento económico. Sociedad Digital en América Latina 2023 pretende ofrecer el testimonio del estado de los cambios que están teniendo lugar en la región, plasmando el grado de avance en los distintos ámbitos y países. El informe contempla temas como el desarrollo de las infraestructuras de banda ancha y las políticas acometidas para garantizar su despliegue, el papel de la tecnología como palanca de la economía regional, así como temas relacionados con la educación digital o los cambios en el mercado de trabajo. Igualmente, el trabajo analiza las brechas tecnológicas presentes actualmente, y la posibilidad de que se amplíe la fractura socioeconómica en los distintos países, si el proceso de transformación digital no se aborda de forma inclusiva de manera que no deje a nadie atrás.

This book was released on 2022-11-07 with total page 7 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El libro aborda la problemática de la inclusión digital desde una perspectiva de género y, si bien es un libro de ensayo, aplica en la argumentación una revisión documental exhaustiva, el análisis del discurso de las políticas públicas y las discusiones actuales en el campo de la cibercultura. Es el acumulado de varias investigaciones y experiencias académicas sobre el tema con la Red Laboratorio de la Historia Global del Ciberespacio (LAGHCIB). Contextualiza la transformación tecnológica, el impacto de la pandemia causada por la COVID-19 en la vida de las mujeres y el marco histórico en el acceso a la tecnología, desigualdad que, unida a otras desventajas históricas, genera brechas digitales, principalmente en la forma de conocer y narrar el mundo. Se expone aquí un análisis arqueológico de las políticas públicas en TIC desde una lectura de la gubernamentalidad y se cruza con las teorías del capitalismo cognitivo y el colonialismo cultural como factores estructurales de esta desigualdad.

This book was released on 2006-05-19 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For several years the concept of "virtual client" or "virtual customer" has been part of the world of libraries and information services. This publication contains the proceedings of a satellite meeting on this topic, organized by the Management and Marketing Section of IFLA and held in Sao Paulo, Brazil in August 2004. It contains papers from more general points of views such as the democratization of access to digital information to more specific questions such as virtual libraries and new services, not forgetting user and librarian education, web site design, more specialized information, etc. The readers of these proceedings will find along these pages a very stimulating content which will guide them towards better services for virtual clients. Papers are presented in the original language of their presentation (Portuguese, French, Spanish and English) with summaries in these four languages.
Download or read book Rural Social Movements in Latin America written by Carmen Diana Deere and published by University Press of Florida. This book was released on 2018-04-23 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A remarkable collection. The chapters provide extremely useful information on a range of social movements generally not well covered in academic work--and the coverage is provided by people who are either activists within the movements themselves or long-time supporters."--Wendy Wolford, University of North Carolina "An original, unique, and excellent collection. The book has great theoretical value and political relevance."--Saturnino M. Borras Jr., Saint Mary's University (Halifax) All across Latin America, rural peoples are organizing in support of broadly distinct but interrelated issues. Food sovereignty, agrarian reform, indigenous and women’s rights, sustainable development, fair trade, and immigration issues are the focus of a large number of social movements found in countries such as Bolivia, Colombia, Mexico, Nicaragua, Brazil, and Peru. The contributors to Rural Social Movements in Latin America include academic researchers as well as social movement leaders who are seeking to effect change in their countries and communities. As a group they are at the forefront of some of the most critical environmental, social, and political issues of the day. This volume highlights the central role these movements play in opposition to the neoliberal model of development and offers fresh insights on emerging alternatives at the local, national, and hemispheric level. It also illustrates and analyzes the similarities--notably the struggle for sustainable livelihoods--as well as the difference among these various peasant, indigenous, and rural women's movements.

Download or read book Sustainability Challenges and Solutions at the Base of the Pyramid written by Prabhu Kandachar and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-09-08 with total page 549 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Around the turn of the millennium it had become painfully evident that development aid, charity or "global business-as-usual" were not going to be the mechanisms to alleviate global poverty. Today, there is little dispute that poverty remains the most pressing global problem calling for innovative solutions. One recent strategy is the Base of the Pyramid (BoP) concept developed by Prahalad and Hart, which relies on entrepreneurial activity tapping into the previously ignored markets of the economically most disadvantaged. It is a process requiring innovations in several disciplines: technological, social and business.This book covers a number of areas. First, much of the current BoP discussion emphasises targeting products to the needs of the poor. But do we actually know what the real needs of the poor are? This book takes a bottom-up human-centred approach and examines examples that truly engage the poor in BoP product and service development. What types of needs assessment methodologies are indicated considering the cultural differences in BoP countries? Are the existing methodologies adequate? Do they need to be redefined and redeveloped? Second, the book considers how we can balance poverty alleviation and stimulate economic growth without stressing the ecosystem. Tragically, the poor are hardest hit by the adverse effects of environmental deterioration such as water shortages, climate change or the destruction of habitats. While the economic welfare of the poor is critical, the BoP approach must balance its inherent paradox of encouraging greater consumption while avoiding further pressures on environmental sustainability. The link between the BoP approach and sustainable development is a key feature of this book. Third, it looks at innovation and asks what kinds of"bottom-up" innovation (open source, technological, social and business) support BoP initiatives (and sustainable development)?Fourth, the book deals with the relationship between development assistance and BoP. Is a BoP strategy the antithesis to development aid or can these two co-exist or even complement each other?Finally, the book raises questions about the relationship between corporate responsibility and BoP. Is BoP a new form of corporate neo-colonialism or a new form of corporate responsibility? Although the BoP concept has unleashed an extensive and generally enthusiastic response from academics, businesses, NGOs and governments, the knowledge domain around this concept is still in the early stages of development. This book addresses that need with a focus on the needs of the end-users – the poor – as a starting point for BoP products and innovations. With contributions from both supporters and critics, it provides a treasure trove of global knowledge on how the concept has developed, what its successes and failures have been and what promise it holds as a long-term strategy for alleviating poverty and tackling global sustainability.

Download or read book Technologies of Choice written by Dorothea Kleine and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2013 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new framework for assessing the role of information and communication technologies in development that draws on Amartya Sen's capabilities approach. Information and communication technologies (ICTs)--especially the Internet and the mobile phone--have changed the lives of people all over the world. These changes affect not just the affluent populations of income-rich countries but also disadvantaged people in both global North and South, who may use free Internet access in telecenters and public libraries, chat in cybercafes with distant family members, and receive information by text message or email on their mobile phones. Drawing on Amartya Sen's capabilities approach to development--which shifts the focus from economic growth to a more holistic, freedom-based idea of human development--Dorothea Kleine in Technologies of Choice? examines the relationship between ICTs, choice, and development. Kleine proposes a conceptual framework, the Choice Framework, that can be used to analyze the role of technologies in development processes. She applies the Choice Framework to a case study of microentrepreneurs in a rural community in Chile. Kleine combines ethnographic research at the local level with interviews with national policy makers, to contrast the high ambitions of Chile's pioneering ICT policies with the country's complex social and economic realities. She examines three key policies of Chile's groundbreaking Agenda Digital: public access, digital literacy, and an online procurement system. The policy lesson we can learn from Chile's experience, Kleine concludes, is the necessity of measuring ICT policies against a people-centered understanding of development that has individual and collective choice at its heart.
