Abstract [en]

The field of ICT4D has witnessed a crisis of its core assumptions in terms of usability of ICTs within development, as well as the meaning of “development” itself. Such a pars destruens (deconstructing the main assumptions of the field) should in our view be accompanied with a pars construens which embraces antifascism, an element of liberation movements opposing violently oppressive ideas and systems, as a core value. In this paper we set the epistemological basis for an antifascist view of ICT4D, positioning such a view in history and illuminating the contribution of antifascism to the core idea of “making a better world” that inspires ICT4D research. We contribute to the existing literature by spelling out antifascist values in relation to ICT4D, and articulating these with respect to research objects and philosophies that the field embraces.
