Algorithmic Regimes : Methods, Interactions, and Politics, Hardback Book

Algorithmic Regimes : Methods, Interactions, and Politics Hardback

Edited by Juliane Jarke, Bianca Prietl, Simon Egbert, Yana Boeva, Hendrik Heuer, Maike Arnold

Part of the Digital Studies series

Hardback

Description

Algorithms have risen to become one, if not the central technology for producing, circulating, and evaluating knowledge in multiple societal arenas.

In this book, scholars from the social sciences, humanities, and computer science argue that this shift has, and will continue to have, profound implications for how knowledge is produced and what and whose knowledge is valued and deemed valid.

To attend to this fundamental change, the authors propose the concept of algorithmic regimes and demonstrate how they transform the epistemological, methodological, and political foundations of knowledge production, sensemaking, and decision-making in contemporary societies.

Across sixteen chapters, the volume offers a diverse collection of contributions along three perspectives on algorithmic regimes: the methods necessary to research and design algorithmic regimes, the ways in which algorithmic regimes reconfigure sociotechnical interactions, and the politics engrained in algorithmic regimes.
