The affective intensities of datafied space

Data anxieties: Finding trust in everyday digital mess

“…For social scientists (digital) data is a critical category rather than a self-evident or given fact (Baym, 2013;boyd and Crawford, 2012;Markham, 2013;Nafus, 2014). Indeed, what has been called the datafication of our everyday lives and worlds -defined as 'the ability to render into data many aspects of the world that have not been quantified before' (Cukier and Mayer-Schoenberger, 2013), has been discussed across many domains of everyday experience including health (Ruckenstein and Dow Schu¨ll, 2017), regulatory and preventative governance and policing (Dencik et al, 2017;Smith and O'Malley, 2017), space (Sumartojo et al, 2016) and sport (Millington and Millington, 2015). Whereas these discussions of data reveal important dimensions of the meaning of how different populations and domains are using data, we focus our attention on how people feel about the safety of their data.…”

Telemedicine and the senses: a review

“…Some work has sought to identify the affective atmospheres of new digital technologies, and how these may operate as collective spaces of feeling incorporating human and non‐human actors (Ash , Sumartojo et al . , Tucker and Goodings ). Sensory practices and responses are central to the generation of these digitised affective atmospheres.…”

“…Researching sensory engagements from this perspective involves acknowledging the affective intensities of datafied spaces and bodies moving within these spaces (Sumartojo et al . ).…”

“…, Sumartojo et al . ). Such a perspective goes beyond the theorising of virtual bodies that has taken place in medical sociology and other areas of research by acknowledging that the distinction between virtual/real is obviated in digital life‐worlds.…”

Future Anthropology Ethics and Datafication: Temporality and Responsibility in Research

“…What has been referred to as the datafication of society-"the ability to render into data many aspects of the world that have not been quantified before" (Cukier & Mayer-Schoenberger, 2013)-relating to, for example, governance (Smith & O'Malley, 2017), health (Ruckenstein & Dow Schüll, 2017), space (Sumartojo et al, 2016) sport (Millington & Millington, 2015) has received ample critical attention from the social sciences and humanities (see Baym, 2013;boyd d & Crawford, 2012;Gitelman & Jackson, 2013). As Baym (2013) has put it, "when data appear to be so self-evident and big data seem to hold such promise of truth, it has never been more essential to remind ourselves what data are not seen, and what cannot be measured."…”
