Registration - Figurations: Persons In/Out of Data
*Places are still available for 'Figurations: Persons In/Out of Data.' * <br> <br>*Date and location*: 9.30am – 6pm, Monday 16 and Tuesday 17 December, <br>2019 Professor <br>Stuart Hall Building, Goldsmiths, University of London, 8 Lewisham Way SE14 <br>6NW <br> <br> <br>We’re drowning in an ocean of data, or so the saying goes. Data’s <br>“big”: <br>there’s not only lots of it, but its volume has allowed for the development <br>of new, large-scale processing techniques. Our relationship with <br>governments, medical organisations, technology companies, the education <br>sector, and so on are increasingly informed by the data we overtly or <br>inadvertently provide when we use particular services. The proverbial data <br>deluge is large-scale—but it’s also personal. Data promises to <br>personalise <br>services to better meet our individual needs. Data is often construed as a <br>threat to our person(s). Not every person predicated by data is predicted <br>the same. The intersection between data and person isn’t fixed: it has to <br>be <br> *figured*. <br> <br>What methodological, conceptual, and/or empirical potential do <br>'figurations' offer to researchers working at the intersection of the <br>person and data today? Over two days, more than 50 presenters and 4 keynote <br>speakers will address how the 'figure' and its variants—figuration, <br>figuring, to figure, and so on—is being developed and used in disciplines <br>including the medical humanities, the social sciences, media studies, art <br>history, literary studies, philosophy, science and technology studies, <br>urban studies, and geography. <br> <br> <br>*Keynotes:* <br> <br>Professor Wendy Hui Kyong Chun, Simon Fraser University <br> <br>Professor Jane Elliot, University of Exeter <br> <br>Professor John Frow, The University of Sydney <br> <br>Professor AbdouMaliq Simone, The University of Sheffield <br> <br> <br> <br> <br>Registration is *free*. *For more information, the full programme, and to <br>register, please follow this link <br>. *If you have any <br>questions, please email Scott Wark at S.Wark@warwick.ac.uk <br>_______________________________________________ <br>EASST's Eurograd mailing list <br>Eurograd (at) lists.easst.net <br>Unsubscribe or edit subscription options: http://lists.easst.net/listinfo.cgi/eurograd-easst.net <br> <br>Meet us via https://twitter.com/STSeasst <br> <br>Report abuses of this list to Eurograd-owner@lists.easst.netview formatted text
