Data has become a social and political issue because of its
capacity to reconfigure relationships between states, subjects, and
citizens. This book explores how data has acquired such an
important capacity and examines how critical interventions in its
uses in both theory and practice are possible. Data and politics
are now inseparable: data is not only shaping our social relations,
preferences and life chances but our very democracies. Expert
international contributors consider political questions about data
and the ways it provokes subjects to govern themselves by making
rights claims. Concerned with the things (infrastructures of
servers, devices, and cables) and language (code, programming, and
algorithms) that make up cyberspace, this book demonstrates that
without understanding these conditions of possibility it is
impossible to intervene in or to shape data politics. Aimed at
academics and postgraduate students interested in political aspects
of data, this volume will also be of interest to experts in the
fields of internet studies, international studies, Big Data,
digital social sciences and humanities. The Open Access version of
this book, available at
