Big Data, gathered together and re-analysed, can be used to form endless variations of our persons - so-called ‘data doubles’. Whilst never a precise portrayal of who we are, they unarguably contain glimpses of details about us that, when deployed into various routines (such as management, policing and advertising) can affect us in many ways.How are we to deal with Big Data? When is it beneficial to us? When is it harmful? How might we regulate it? Offering careful and critical analyses, this timely volume aims to broaden well-informed, unprejudiced discourse, focusing on: the tenets of Big Data, the politics of governance and regulation; and Big Data practices, performance and resistance.An interdisciplinary volume, The Politics of Big Data will appeal to undergraduate and postgraduate students, as well as postdoctoral and senior researchers interested in fields such as Technology, Politics and Surveillance.

The mobile phone has achieved a global presence faster than any other form of information and communication technology. A global multi-billion dollar industry, this small, mundane device is now an intrinsic part of our everyday life. This communications medium has had an immense social and cultural impact and continues to evolve. Talking, texting, photographing, videoing, connecting to a network of other media - the cellphone now seems essential. But, beyond the ways in which it has actively restructured our daily lives, the mobile has changed our sense of ourselves and the way we see the world. The relationship between public and private space, how we view time and space, how we rely on and negotiate social networks - all are increasingly centred on this small piece of technology. Mobile Communications presents a succinct, challenging, and accessible overview of the transformations and challenges presented by this most personal, yet most overlooked technology.

Mobile phones are the most successful computer-based consumer product of the age and yet very little is known about how mobile technology is changing the way people interact and cooperate with each other, and how this change can be analysed.For the first time, Wireless World brings together experts from different disciplines to explore the social factors that are shaping the wireless world and provides an overview of the issues for anyone designing, testing or studying mobile devices. It identifies the major trends, discusses the main claims made about the mobile age, and looks at the issues that affect design, usability and evaluation.A valuable reference for anyone concerned with the future of mobile communications, this book will be of particular interest to advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students on Mobile Technology courses, practitioners, and researchers working in mobile communications, CSCW and HCI."...an inspired and insightful collection of observations of the use of mobile technology...a valuable resource for both researchers and designers alike."Marge Eldridge, Xerox Research Centre Europe, UK"Working with the speed of the technologies they study, these researchers and product developers provide a rare opportunity to understand the cultural and social effects of a new technology as it emerges, rather than waiting decades for historical and sociological accounts."Jonathan Grudin, Microsoft Research, US "..looks in depth and detail about how people actually use mobiles: how they assemble their lives and re-assemble technologies to fit them. Essential reading for designers, sociologists and anyone just interested in how the "always-connected" world works."Professor Mike Robinson, University of Jyvaskyla, Finland

Between 2008 and 2009, British artist Nicola Green witnessed first-hand Barack Obama’s historic journey to the White House. Over the course of six trips across the United States, she gained unprecedented artistic access to his campaign, election, and inauguration. Motivated by her position as a white mother to children of mixed heritage, Green approached this moment not as a commissioned documentarian, but as an independent artist. This unique vantage point allowed her to recognise that it would take generations to fully understand the long term significance of President Obama’s election. She created a vast body of work over many years. The resulting series, In Seven Days…, was hailed by The Metropolitan Museum of Art as “an artistic and historic masterpiece.” It reflects on cycles of change, creating the seemingly impossible, and the often imperceptible implications of this watershed moment. It speaks to questions of history, heritage, democracy, and representation; themes that continue to resonate far beyond the 2008 election.This book offers the first in-depth examination of the complete In Seven Days… series, much of which has remained unpublished until now. Featuring texts by leading voices in art, culture, and politics, it traces the creation of the work while considering its manifold meanings and is a meditation on the enduring legacy of that extraordinary moment for future generations.
