The Trouble With Big Data: How Datafication Displaces Cultural Practices: Bloomsbury Studies in Digital Cultures

Autor Jennifer Edmond, Nicola Horsley, Jörg Lehmann, Mike Priddy
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 27 ian 2022
Choice Outstanding Academic Title 2023

This open access book explores the challenges society faces with big data, through the lens of culture rather than social, political or economic trends, as demonstrated in the words we use, the values that underpin our interactions, and the biases and assumptions that drive us. Focusing on areas such as data and language, data and sensemaking, data and power, data and invisibility, and big data aggregation, it demonstrates that humanities research, focusing on cultural rather than social, political or economic frames of reference for viewing technology, resists mass datafication for a reason, and that those very reasons can be instructive for the critical observation of big data research and innovation.

Recenzii

By examining the much-hyped phenomenon of 'big data' through a humanist lens, the authors provide a rich account of the possibilities and limits. They focus on the importance of culture and context for understanding how data are imagined, collected, analysed and understood.
