This event will promote a thought-provoking debate on digital sovereignty, starting with the presentation of The Santiago Boys, the latest work of renowned author and researcher Evgeny Morozov. At the heart of this event is a crucial exploration of digital sovereignty and its implications for Latin America's evolving technological landscape.
We are honoured to host Evgeny Morozov, internationally acknowledged for his critical analysis of technology's societal impacts, leading the discussion. Morozov's extensive body of work, including podcast "The Santiago Boys", which uncovers the intriguing tale of Salvador Allende's technocrats building a socialist internet in Chile, brings a unique perspective to the conversation.
Alongside Morozov, a diverse group of participants will bring their insights to the table. Together, we will dissect the complexities of digital sovereignty in Brazil, considering its historical context, current challenges, and future prospects. From policy experts to scholars and activists, this event will foster a dynamic exchange of ideas.
This event is jointly organised by the Center for Tecnlogy and Society at FGV Law School, Rio de Janeiro, and RedeSist.
