Sommario/riassunto

La connaissance savante s’élabore dans les milieux académiques et revendique des qualités particulières de cohérence et de vérité. La connaissance vulgaire ou ordinaire est produite tant par les médias, les professions, que par le public non spécialisé, en manifestant des propriétés conditionnées par son usage courant. Elles peuvent être comparées sur un certain nombre de critères, en mettant en évidence la frontière souvent floue et perméable qui les sépare. Surtout, la première influence la seconde par un processus de vulgarisation et, plus profondément, par la performativité qu’elle exerce à travers des dispositifs techniques. En sens inverse, la seconde inspire la première par un processus de savantisation qui décante et abstrait ses concepts et mécanismes les plus originaux. Ce processus bouclé, qui ne saurait



converger, est illustré par des exemples puisés dans dix sciences sociales.

Sommario/riassunto

The first book to draw a direct line between the datafication and prediction techniques of past eugenicists and today's often violent and extractive "big data" regimes.   Predatory Data illuminates the throughline between the nineteenth century's anti-immigration and eugenics movements and our sprawling systems of techno-surveillance and algorithmic discrimination. With this book, Anita Say Chan offers a historical, globally multisited analysis of the relations of dispossession, misrecognition, and segregation expanded by dominant knowledge institutions in the Age of Big Data.     While technological advancement has a tendency to feel inevitable, it always has a history, including efforts to chart a path for alternative futures and the important parallel story of defiant refusal and liberatory activism. Chan explores how more than a century ago, feminist, immigrant, and other minoritized actors refused dominant institutional research norms and worked to develop alternative data practices whose methods and traditions continue to reverberate through global justice-based data initiatives today. Looking to the past to shape our future, this book charts a path for an alternative historical consciousness grounded in the pursuit of global justice.  A free ebook version of this title is available through Luminos, University of California Press's Open Access publishing program.
