Analyzing Digital Practices in Indigenous Communities: A Foucauldian Sociotechnical Demarginalizing Method
Rennie Naidoo, Funmi Adebesin · 2023
Responsible Human-Computer Interaction for Development (HCI4D) and Information System (IS) researchers have called for demarginalizing methods for decolonizing digital practices in marginalized indigenous communities. This paper offers an adaptation of the Foucauldian Discourse Analysis (FDA) as a demarginalizing method to assess and theorize what discursive resources participants, within a marginalized indigenous community, appropriate to make sense of digital technologies. Our proposed method integrates Foucauldian discourse perspectives with critical sociotechnical discursive constructions.
