To think about the present and future of technological sovereignties is to investigate under what kind of social processes these alternative technologies emerge, allowing us to re-signify the concept of technology. Emergencies such as Yasnaya Aguilar's Thequiologies or Yuk Hui's Cosmotechnologies are critical to problematizing our relationship with technology. Thus, expanding meaning beyond the created artifact is crucial today; in the same way that certain technologies foster autonomy and its interdependence with sovereignty. Therefore, in the academic literature and activist universes, praxis-oriented thematic spaces such as Energy Sovereignty, Food Sovereignty, Communicative Sovereignty, and Urban Sovereignty have emerged. It is vital to understand and analyze today how these sovereignties are interwoven, their challenges, and potentialities for the peoples and societies of the Global South. However, the links between these "worlds" are limited and their futures are still unclear in the context of current socio-technical systems mediated by hegemonic cultures and economic systems.

Reflections from the End of the World, for New Worlds

Vol. 8 No. 1 (2021)
We invite colleagues in engineering, design, architecture and all those who imagine and recreate other possible worlds, to reflect on this period of partial suspension of the world, on the reality under construction and on our design practices in this (other) reality. We conceive of this issue as a meeting point to reflect on what we have lost and continue to lose, to remember, to mourn and to let go as much as necessary, without forgetting the ties we have with the past, as well as our commitments to new futures.
