The rise and deployment of artificial intelligence (AI) is having an exponential impact on the process of transformation and realignment of global geopolitics. While the United States, China and to a lesser extent the European Union (EU) are leading the “race” to develop AI in a climate of confrontation, the technological development of AI is much more multifaceted and global than the geopolitical discourse of the major powers, with emerging actors and ecosystems that should not be underestimated. In line with the calls to create more inclusive frameworks of global AI governance, this paper explores what role the Global South plays in the geopolitics of AI. It analyses the spaces, actors and concerns currently overlooked in the dominant discourses on the geopolitics of AI, perspectives that are essential to understand how algorithmic systems are going to develop in the coming years.

A case study is presented with the results of a practice of reading for pleasure among a group of women living in the periphery, based on the theory of cultural consumption. The objective was to encourage intergenerational dialogue around the myths of romantic love, gender roles, and femininity, through literary texts written by women. The main results showed that literature is an ideal tool to encourage reflection on issues such as violence, discrimination, abuse, or femicide; at the same time, reading for pleasure increases. It is concluded that literary texts are tools that trigger reflections on gender issues and that the creation of workshops in peripheral areas of the cities can increase the taste for reading.

Introduction: The electoral volatility that has characterized the last electoral processes of the country has intensified with the ballots phenomenon. The instability in party support has been clearly concentrated in rural areas of the country. Objective: This article aims to present some findings regarding the reasons that explain the electoral volatility in the rural areas of the country based on the case study of the Cariari district, Pococí canton in the Limón province in the presidential elections of 2014 and 2018. Method: The paper presents territory as a geographical, political and explanatory concept that allows the understanding of the conditions that derived the electoral results of 2014 and 2018 elections in Cariari district. A mixed methodology has been used which complemented the quantitative and qualitative approaches. Results: The results show that the electoral volatility phenomenon in Costa Rica does not follow a random pattern instead, it has been located in rural areas. The study case allowed to observe how dissatisfaction and apathy with politics are both, the basis of support for parties with different ideological positions from 2014 to 2018. Conclusion: The perception of the abandonment of rural areas and the wish for political change is identified as the basis for the instability of party support. Also, a scenario is identified that facilitated the capitalization of support from the Partido Restauración Nacional due to a complex territorial dynamic in which religious groups play a main role.

Social housing production was one of the emblems of the Ecuadorian policy of the "Citizen Revolution" chaired by Rafael Correa for 10 years. From the case of Ecuador, it is analyzed how progressive governments applied policies in the field of social housing and urban development. This article tracks the scales of application these social policies had regarding neoliberalism, from the point of view of the violence and responses that the process provoked. In Quito, families organized to obtain the promised homes after years of waiting. In Guayaquil, police violence displaced entire neighborhoods to achieve urban renewal through an ecological plan. In Portoviejo, from the earthquake of 2016, the center was converted, and the houses were moved to the periphery. From an historic, spatial, and qualitative methodology, this analysis shows the limitations of the proposals of the progressive governments, and the popular organization to avoid displacement towards the peripheries.

While a great part of the contemporary literature on mobilities has focused on how privileged social positions held by businessmen, academics, and professionals define contemporary mobile society, this paper will focus on the everyday mobilities of subordinated and peripheral populations, using fieldwork data from El Salto, a county (municipio) in the periphery of the Guadalajara Metropolitan Area, Mexico. Presenting the range of displacements and movements performed by its inhabitants, this article contests the dominant view of subordinated populations within a mobile society, often described as confined or passive.
