Working towards a dialectical understanding of the political ideology within technological projects

arXiv:2603.22436

Abstract

In this short position paper, I develop a dialectical framework for understanding the political ideology of technological projects. To do so, I draw on critical and emancipatory social science discussions, highlighting how both a project's values and constraints are necessary for understanding its ideology. A brief example is then presented to aid comprehension.
