OUT NOW: book "COVID-19 from the Margins" (free download)
Dear AoiR colleagues apologies for cross-posting but we can't wait to share the news! We are delighted to announce the publication of the edited volume "COVID-19 from the Margins: Pandemic Invisibilities, Policies and Resistance in the Datafied Society”! This book is a labor of love, featuring 75 authors writing in 5 languages (besides English, Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese and Italian), in 282 pages that amplify the silenced voices of the COVID-19 pandemic. It is published in the Theory on Demand series of the Amsterdam-based Institute of Network Cultures headed by Geert Lovink. We are particularly proud because the book is open access. The author list includes several AoiR members, and our President Lynn Schofield Clark wrote a passionate endorsement <3 The .pdf and .epub versions can be downloaded from https://networkcultures.org/blog/publication/covid-19-from-the-margins-pande.... You can use the same link to order a printed copy for free (while supplies last, after which the book will be print-on-demand). The book is a multilingual conversation that celebrates linguistic and cultural diversity but also de-centers dominant ways of being and knowing while contributing a decolonial approach to the narration of the COVID-19 crisis. Moreover, it brings researchers, activists, practitioners, and communities on the ground into dialogue to offer timely, critical reflections in near-real time and in an accessible language. The result is a heterogeneous, polycentric and pluriversal narration, which invites the reader to enact and experience the “Big data from the South(s)” approach as an interpretive lens to read the pandemic. Authors include: Claudio Agosti, Thomas Aureliani, Anat Ben-David, Anna Berti Suman, Luiza Bialasiewicz, Nic Bidwell, Tiziano Bonini, Jelke Bosma, Olga Bronnikova, Diego Cerna Aragón, Herkulaas MVE Combrink, Donna Cormack, Arianna Cortesi, Angela Daly, Soumyo Das, Françoise Daucé, Philip Di Salvo, Alexandra Elliott, Ksenia Ermoshina, Marta Espuny Contreras, Maria Faust, Nicolas Foster, Peter Füssy, Larissa Galdino de Magalhães Santos, Alex Gekker, Ana Maria R.
