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 Suely ________________________________ From: Cristian Berrio Zapata <cristian.berrio@gmail.com> To: Denise N.

The ‘house that Dick built’: Constructing the team that built the bomb
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. -- *Cristian Berrío Zapata* _______________________________________________ The Air-L@listserv.aoir.org mailing list is provided by the Association of Internet Researchers http://aoir.org Subscribe, change options or unsubscribe at: http://listserv.aoir.org/listinfo.cgi/air-l-aoir.org Join the Association of Internet Researchers: http://www.aoir.org/
