Release of ‘Situating Data – Inquiries in Algorithmic Culture’

The Department of Media and Culture Studies (MCW) at the Faculty of Humanities at Utrecht University just released the edited volume Situating Data – Inquiries in Algorithmic Culture (Amsterdam University Press). This collection was initiated because the MCW researchers wanted to bring together the work around data in the department.

The collection brings together various perspectives on the datafication and algorithmization of culture from debates and disciplines within the field of cultural inquiry, specifically (new) media studies, game studies, urban studies, screen studies, and gender and postcolonial studies.

The book was edited by associate professor Karin van Es and professor Nanna Verhoeff and is an Open Access publication.
