The Sovereignty of Wearables: Indigenous Health and Digital Colonialism in Taiwan
Update: 2025-07-15
Description
This bonus content is a reading from Platypus, the CASTAC Blog. The full post by Aaron Su can be read at https://blog.castac.org/2025/07/the-sovereignty-of-wearables-indigenous-health-and-digital-colonialism-in-taiwan/. About the post: While the language of an easy technological “solution” certainly cannot undo the history of Indigenous injustice in Taiwan, it is important to remember that new technologies always also bring with them novel ways of imagining material relationships—of ownership, use, and control. To stay with such possibilities would entail not just denouncing health wearables altogether or aspiring toward a technology-free past, but would allow us to locate different ways that the trajectory of wearables might be changed to emphasize new relations of governance and self-determination.
