Main Topic Description

Technology and its use take us rapidly to new scenarios of possibility. It takes us to imagine them, to project them in an utopist way, to theorize about them, and finally they get to our living rooms, to our pockets, our streets and our work spaces. Technology in itself it is not only a powerful tool for social change, but a ground on which hard ethic, political and cultural battles take place.

The social, moral and political implications of the technological ways we choose (or we be chosen), will deeply mark society and the immediate world, and this not only to material level, but also to a level of paradigms of thought and knowledge. Technology, as the most powerful form of knowledge , is at the center of many debates that we hope to gather for this event and thematic line.

Free software , open source, security and control, technological development, infrastructures, all things related to net neutrality, intellectual property and alternatives to free knowledge (Copyleft, GPL, CreativeCommons, etc) are in this thematic line that has as its prime objective to critically denature and to understand the political relations and implications of the technological.

For that and the coming of these new structures, it is almost impossible to comprehend and analyze the cibersocial as it was being done to date. The abundance of new proposals, inventions, innovative tendencies, new forms of investigation and cultural studies (virtual or hybrid) that have been developing around this theme line, are making impact in our usual practices. New formats, web semantics, wireless networks, invisible computers, chips everywhere, geolocation systems and many descriptors are the clues to understand the Internet we will be using in 2010 that has been in the making for quite some time now.
