Call for papers: Thematic issue on “Digital Rights in Motion”
In view of the profound impacts of Information and Communication Technologies on society, as well as the need for empirical and interdisciplinary reflections on the subject, BJELS welcomes contributors from different areas to submit papers for the thematic issue “Digital Rights in Motion”, organized by the guest editors Rafael Zanatta[1], Michel Roberto de Souza[2] and Elora Fernandes[3].
It seeks to present new ways of studying these rights through empirical methods from a comprehensive approach. Themes could range from anthropological studies on the use of facial recognition by police authorities to empirical analysis of administrative decisions on data protection. It proposes an interdisciplinary perspective, breaking with hermetic views of one or another area of Law and with purely “topographic” and positivist analysis (such as description and interpretation of digital rights laws).
This call has the support of several civil society organizations, whose work is essential for the development of research on digital rights:

Centro de Ensino e Pesquisa em Inovação | FGV Direito SP
