What this episode covers

La investigación histórica sobre Internet ha privilegiado a los países más conectados. Con esta afirmación, Ignacio Siles (@isiles), profesor de la Universidad de Costa Rica, nos invita a considerar una entre tantas historias de este sistema global de computadoras integradas. En Centroamérica, a mediados de la década de los ochenta, organizaciones no gubernamentales y universidades impulsaron la introducción de redes computacionales para integrar la región y con ello sentar las bases para la expansión de Internet en la región. Esta historia es narrada en A transnational history of the Internet in Central America. 1985-2000. Networks, Integration, and Development, publicada por Palgrave-McMillan en 2020 en su serie sobre historias transnacionales. En este podcast abordamos la relación entre integración centroamericana e infraestructuras, el lugar de las universidades y las organizaciones sin ánimo de lucro en la creación de redes computacionales, el papel de la guerra civil y la crisis en el acceso a redes globales, así como historias sobre el liderazgo femenino en Nicaragua en la implementación de Internet. Presenta Fabián Prieto-Ñañez, Profesor Asistente del Departamento de Ciencia, Tecnología y Sociedad en Virginia Tech. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
