Abstract:
This volume explores activism, research and critique in the age of digital subjects and objects and Big Data capitalism after a digital turn said to have radically transformed our political futures. Optimists assert that the ‘digital’ promises: new forms of community and ways of knowing and sensing, innovation, participatory culture, networked activism, and distributed democracy. Pessimists argue that digital technologies have extended domination via new forms of control, networked authoritarianism and exploitation, dehumanization and the surveillance society. Leading international scholars present varied interdisciplinary assessments of such claims – in theory and via dialogue – and of the digital’s impact on society and the potentials, pitfalls, limits and ideologies, of digital activism. They reflect on whether computational social science, digital humanities and ubiquitous datafication lead to digital positivism that threatens critical research or lead to new horizons in theory and society. ... : Christian Fuchs and David Chandler: Introduction: Big Data Capitalism – Politics, Activism, and Theory Section I: Digital Capitalism and Big Data Capitalism David Chandler: Digital Governance in the Anthropocene: The Rise of the Correlational Machine Christian Fuchs: Beyond Big Data Capitalism, Towards Dialectical Digital Modernity: Reflections on David Chandler’s Chapter Christian Fuchs: Karl Marx in the Age of Big Data Capitalism David Chandler: What is at Stake in the Critique of Big Data?
