As disputes concerning the environment, the economy, and pandemics
occupy public debate, we need to learn to navigate matters of
public concern when facts are in doubt and expertise is contested.
Controversy Mapping is the first book to introduce readers to the
observation and representation of contested issues on digital
media. Drawing on actor-network theory and digital methods,
Venturini and Munk outline the conceptual underpinnings and the
many tools and techniques of controversy mapping. They review its
history in science and technology studies, discuss its
methodological potential, and unfold its political implications.
Through a range of cases and examples, they demonstrate how to
chart actors and issues using digital fieldwork and computational
techniques. A preface by Richard Rogers and an interview with Bruno
Latour are also included. A crucial field guide and hands-on
companion for the digital age, Controversy Mapping is an
indispensable resource for students and scholars of media and
communication, as well as activists, journalists, citizens, and
decision makers.
