摘要 | Technologies for social inclusion in Latin America are a recent manifestation of grassroots innovation movements whose activities go back to appropriate technology in the 1970s and earlier. Common to these movements is a vision for innovation processes more inclusive towards local communities in terms of knowledge, processes and outcomes. A comparison in this article between movements for technologies for social inclusion now and appropriate technology in the past reveals three enduring challenges for grassroots innovation: attending to local specificities whilst simultaneously seeking wide-scale diffusion; being appropriate to existing situations that one ultimately seeks to transform; and, working with project-based solutions to goals (of social justice) whose root causes rest in structures of economic and political power. Each challenge effectively frames grassroots knowledge creation differently: local ingenuity; local empowerment; and structural critique. Overall, these movements’ contribute valuable plurality and reflexivity to innovation policy and politics. |
