The Trouble With Big Data - How Datafication Displaces Cultural Practices (Hardcover): Jennifer Edmond, Nicola Horsley, Joerg... The Trouble With Big Data - How Datafication Displaces Cultural Practices (Hardcover)
Jennifer Edmond, Nicola Horsley, Joerg Lehmann, Mike Priddy
R3,204 Discovery Miles 32 040 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

This open access book explores the challenges society faces with big data, through the lens of culture rather than social, political or economic trends, as demonstrated in the words we use, the values that underpin our interactions, and the biases and assumptions that drive us. Focusing on areas such as data and language, data and sensemaking, data and power, data and invisibility, and big data aggregation, it demonstrates that humanities research, focussing on cultural rather than social, political or economic frames of reference for viewing technology, resists mass datafication for a reason, and that those very reasons can be instructive for the critical observation of big data research and innovation. The eBook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com.

Challenging the Politics of Early Intervention - Who's 'Saving' Children and Why (Hardcover): Val Gillies,... Challenging the Politics of Early Intervention - Who's 'Saving' Children and Why (Hardcover)
Val Gillies, Rosalind Edwards, Nicola Horsley
R2,297 Discovery Miles 22 970 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

A vital interrogation of the internationally accepted policy and practice consensus that intervention to shape parenting in the early years is the way to prevent disadvantage. Given the divisive assumptions and essentialist ideas behind early years intervention, in whose interests does it really serve? This book critically assesses assertions that the 'wrong type of parenting' has biological and cultural effects, stunting babies' brain development and leading to a life of poverty and under-achievement. It shows how early intervention policies underpinned by interpretations of brain science perpetuate gendered, classed and raced inequalities. The exploration of future directions will be welcomed by those looking for a positive, collectivist vision of the future that addresses the real underlying issues in the creation of disadvantage.
