Data Practices approaches this contemporary political and theoretical question by treating it as a practical problem of counting. Only through the myriad data practices that make up methods such as censuses can EU member states know their national populations, and this in turn is utilized by the EU to understand the population of Europe. But this volume approaches data practices not simply as reflecting populations but as performative in two senses: they simultaneously enact that is, make up a European population and, by so doing intentionally or otherwise also contribute to making up a European people.the book develops a conception of data practices to analyze and interpret findings from collaborative ethnographic multisite fieldwork conducted by an interdisciplinary team of social science researchers as part of a five-year project, Peopling Europe: How Data Make a People. The book focuses on data practices that involve establishing and assigning people to categories and how this matters in enacting Europe as a population and people. Five core chapters explore key categories of people usual residents, refugees, homeless people, migrants, and ethnic minorities and how they come into being through specific data practices such as defining, estimating, recalibrating and inferring. Two additional chapters address two key subject positions that data practices produce and require: the data subject and the statistician subject.Populationfast(OCoLC)fst01071476European Union countriesPopulationPopulation.304.6094Scheel StephanRuppert Evelyn Sharon1959-MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910725066503321Data practices3374952UNINA
