Abstract

This text has as premise to understand the role that Information and Communication Technologies (ICT's) play in our society from the perspectives of conflicts between the construction of memories and the production of knowledge and the impacts resulting from the experiences of failure, technological breakdown, repair and digital exclusion, combined with mechanisms of control of data capitalism, such as algorithmic regulation, in the process of marginalization of different social groups. Also will be presented the digital guerrilla tactics undertaken by these groups and individuals in order to promote their counter-narratives.
