InDigital: Latin America Conference

Indigenous Engagement with Digital & Electronic Media

Since the 1990s researchers in the emergent field of Indigenous Media have documented and analyzed indigenous peoples’ engagement with various forms of digital and electronic media.  In Latin America the use of digital cameras, cell phones, Facebook, and YouTube opens up a new universe of expression and interaction that is evolving in unpredictable ways. Combined with the consumption of both indigenous and non-indigenous media, critical, but largely as yet unexamined changes in world view and behavior are rapidly unfolding.

The InDigital Latin American Conference explores these themes through a series of individual papers, round table discussions, and short films.
