Description: | Select Guide Rating This edited collection aims to reimagine and extend ethnography for a data-saturated world. -- . Data is not just the stuff of social scientific method; it is the stuff of everyday life. The presence of digital data in an ever-widening range of human relationships profoundly unsettles notions of expertise for both ethnographers and data scientists alike. This collection situates digital data in broader knowledge-production practices. It asks about the kinds of social worlds that data scientists are creating as the profession coalesces, and looks at the contemporary possibilities available to both ethnographers and their participants for knowing, formatting and intervening in the world. It shows what digital data is doing to the research methods that sustain claims to expertise, with a particular focus on implications for ethnography. |
