Abstract

This paper unveils and analyses potential effects of the practice of extension of coverage of information and communication technologies (ICTs) or digital services in post-conflict situations in Colombia. To date, there are several initiatives, policies and projects aiming to improve living conditions of post-conflict populations in the country via such an extension. Doing so could limit populations” creativity unless critical identification of effects and opportunities is made. This article draws on Michel Foucault’s ideas on governmentality to develop a critical analysis of ICT coverage for post-conflict situations. It identifies several effects and opportunities to foster individual and collective creativity in the future.
