[Air-L] Internet Historiography

[Suely Fragoso]

Christian
 
My
suggestionsabout the history of the internet in
Latin America:
 
- This M.Sc. dissertation is about the first years of the
internet in Brazil  = Carvalho, M. S. R.
M. (2006). A trajetória da Internet no Brasil: do surgimento das redes de
computadores instituição dos mecanismos de governança.
M.Sc. thesis presented to FRJ/Engineering
 
- The Brazilian Network Information Center
(http://www.nic.br/english/) publishes (nearly) annual surveys on the Use of
Information and Communication Technologies in Brazil
 
- This book is a collection from authors based on different
Latin American countries. I think some texts will be of interest to you. A
brief summary of the content is at  http://www.editorasulina.com.br/detalhes.php?id=491 = S. Fragoso e A. E.
Maldonado (eds) A Internet na América Latina. Porto Alegre, Editora Sulina,
2010 
 
- The Journal of Community Informatics (ci-journal.net) has
published special editions about Latin America and about Brazil. Perhaps you
will find something interesting there
 
 - Finally, entering
the dangerous realm of self-promotion, there is my text about the first years
of Orkut in Brazil. Orkut was decisive for the popularization of the web in
this country = S. Fragoso, WTF A Crazy Brazilian Invasion. In ESS, Charles ;
SUDWEEKS,Fay ; HRACHOVEC, Herbert (orgs) ; CATaC 2006 - Fifth International
Conference onCultural Attitudes Towards Technology and Communication , 2006,
Tartu. Estonia.School of Information Technology - Murdoch University, 2006. v.
1. p. 255-274
 
You are welcome to ask for help to access any of the above

Very interesting references! I am researchin the history of internet and
the Web BUT, when entering Latin America. If you know any documents about
that I will be more than thankful.

Regarding historiography, I like Briggs, A., & Burke, P. (2002). De
Gutemberg a Internet: una historia social de los medios de comunicación (M.
A. Galmarini, Trans.): Aguilar, Altea, Taurus, Alfaguara S.A. This is
originally in English but I have the Spanish vesion.

Also Breton, P. (1991). História da informática: São Paulo: Editora Unesp.I
have the portugese version but th original is in French and with no doubt
it migh be in English.

And Breton, P. (1992). L'utopie de la communication. Paris: La Dácouverte
essais. Same coment as above.

A chilean autor, talk about the feudal inheritage in Latin america and IT,
in a mixture that created three mythic scenarios for knowledge. That might
be of use: Duque, R. B. (2007). How the Internet is Shaping the Chilean
Scientific Community: Globalization and Dependency. Doctoral Dissertation,
Louisiana State University, Louisiana

Finally, there is a document that I found interesting about the effects of
IT in society: Agger, D. G., Armstrong, D. B., Boggs, J., Fein, L., Ferry,
W. H., Geismar, M., . . . Worthy, W. (1964). The Triple Revolution:
Cybernation - Weaponry - Human Rights. In T. A. H. C. o. t. T. Revolution
(Ed.), Mississipp Freedom School Curriculum:
http://educationanddemocracy.org/.

Hope this will be of use and please do no forguet, if you know any sources
about the Internet and Web entering Latin America I will be thankful.
