Registration open for 3rd Antech seminar on Big Data and the Power of Narrative, 21-22 March, 2019, Copenhagen
Dear all, <br> <br>The registration for the 3rd seminar of the Research Network for the <br>Anthropology of Technology is now open. <br> <br>Big Data and the Power of Narrative <br>The promise of big data is sweeping across the sciences, and the everyday <br>practices that are the object of anthropology are increasingly leaving data <br>traces. Scholars talk about a datafication of social life and see in the <br>digitalization new ways of predicting behaviour and understanding sociality. A <br>range of technologies are involved in the datafication of everyday life <br>operating to a large extent through the internet of things, AI, the <br>interconnected devices monitoring and regulating everything from our health to <br>finances and reputation, to our energy use, transport, and the food chain <br>infrastructures that sustain our lives. How might we understand the <br>implications of this datafication of everyday life? How might we explore the <br>emerging political and economic contours? How does datafication influence what <br>counts as true and worth knowing? Can anthropology and adjacent fields have a <br>special role in providing narratives about the things that escape <br>datafication? In this symposium we invite ethnographers to explore these <br>questions and reflect on what ethnography stood to gain from embracing the <br>data abundance and what big data analytics could learn from ethnography. <br> <br>The seminar will be held on 21-22 March, 2019 at the IT University of <br>Copenhagen. Participation is free, and coffee and lunch will be provided. <br>Registration is required. Please follow the link on the Antech website to <br>register: <br>https://www.antech.aau.dk/Events/3rd+Seminar/ <br> <br>Deadline for submission of paper abstracts is 10 January, 2019.
