Big Data, gathered together and re-analysed, can be used to form
endless variations of our persons - so-called 'data doubles'.
Whilst never a precise portrayal of who we are, they unarguably
contain glimpses of details about us that, when deployed into
various routines (such as management, policing and advertising) can
affect us in many ways. How are we to deal with Big Data? When is
it beneficial to us? When is it harmful? How might we regulate it?
Offering careful and critical analyses, this timely volume aims to
broaden well-informed, unprejudiced discourse, focusing on: the
tenets of Big Data, the politics of governance and regulation; and
Big Data practices, performance and resistance. An
interdisciplinary volume, The Politics of Big Data will appeal to
undergraduate and postgraduate students, as well as postdoctoral
and senior researchers interested in fields such as Technology,
Politics and Surveillance.
