Emily M. Bender e Alex Hanna spiegano perché le tecnologie vendute come "intelligenza artificiale" non sono una magia capace di risolvere ogni problema.

We were unhappy trudging toward some perceived security and decided to do something to change it. So, in 2021, we sold our house, cars, and almost everything we owned and became location independent. We are now full-time international slow travelers negotiating how to live the dream and a regular life at the same time. We explore the ins and outs of our nomadic lifestyle at the intersection of thoughtful ...

This interview series showcases the work and words of theorists and practitioners whose contributions have shaped standpoint theory. Standpoint theory, in all its forms – as the rationale for collaborative research practice, in the context of critical sciences studies, and as a theory of knowledge – is rooted in political analysis and activism.
