Join us for a talk and discussion with Alexander Dent, Associate Professor at George Washington University, on his book Digital Pirates: Policing Intellectual Property in Brazil (Stanford 2020).
Digital Pirates examines the unauthorized creation, distribution, and consumption of movies and music in Brazil. Dr. Alexander Sebastian Dent offers a new definition of piracy as indispensable to current capitalism alongside increasing global enforcement of intellectual property (IP). Complex and capricious laws might prohibit it, but piracy remains a core activity of the twenty-first century.
This STS (Science and Technology Studies) Book Talk is organized by Dr. Liliana Gil as part of the Comparative Studies Seminar in Technology and Culture and is open to the entire Ohio State community.
This event is supported by the Center for Latin American Studies, the Feminist Science and Technology Studies & Social Justice Working Group at the Humanities Institute, and the Department of Comparative Studies.
