Synopsis

In this edition of the ATLAS, Stake experts challenges the dominant assumptions on information, such as the central role of the internet as a “neutral” tool for information dissemination or the realist theoretical perception of states as sole players or power brokers in the information space. Instead, using specific perspectives and case studies from African scholars and practitioners, this volume points out a conflictual intersection of subjectivities in the information space, whereby information—and, therefore, perceived realities—is constructed through the intertwining of power dynamics, colonial legacies in framing African state actors, and struggles for legitimacy impose one’s subjective “truth” over others. Hence, although this volume acknowledges some structural representation surrounding key concepts such as access, reach, and dissemination of information, it does so from the standpoint of seeing them as necessary fuels and tools that conflictual intersections of subjectivities.
