(1/2) "Discussing Digital Methods in Brazil: Towards an emerging school of thought?," a thought-provoking roundtable at #AoIR2025 with Janna Joceli Omena, Richard Rogers, Giulia Tucci, Elias Bitencourt & Alan Angeluci. Learned a lot on the nature and state of #digitalmethods through the lens of its emerging epistemic community in #Brazil [sadly missed the intro by Janna]

• These spectrums are not intended to classify Brazilian research; they illustrate how different agendas, at different moments, move closer to or farther from digital methods.
• If we seek common ground for dialogue, a promising starting point is to look for Brazilian agendas and researchers who share foundational frameworks with digital methods. Particularly STS (Science and Technology Studies) and new materialist perspectives.
• As a situated, use-culture-oriented approach, digital methods finds especially fertile ground in Brazil, where distinctive and complex practices of use offer valuable contexts for developing and rethinking the field.](https://cdn.masto.host/aoirsocial/media_attachments/files/115/395/769/121/649/397/original/75514dbe4714d37f.jpeg)
