As people use self-tracking devices and other digital technologies,
they generate increasing quantities of personal information online.
These data have many benefits, but they can also be accessed and
exploited by third parties. Using rich examples from popular
culture and empirical research, Deborah Lupton develops a fresh and
intriguing perspective on how people make sense of and use their
personal data, and what they know about others who use this
information. Drawing on feminist new materialism theory and the
anthropology of material culture, she acknowledges the importance
of paying attention to embodied experiences, as well as discourses
and ideas, in identifying the ways in which people make and enact
data, and data make and enact people. Arguing that personal data
are more-than-human phenomena, invested with diverse forms of
vitalities, Lupton reveals significant implications for data
futures, politics and ethics. Lupton's novel approach to
understanding personal data will be of interest to students and
scholars in media and cultural studies, sociology, anthropology,
surveillance studies, information studies, cultural geography and
science and technology studies.
