How do multiple self-quantifying practices interact with questions of class, race and gender? This edited collection considers algorithms at work - for what purposes encoded data about behaviour, attitudes, dispositions, relationships and preferences are deployed - and black box control, platform society theory and the formation of subjectivities. It details technological structures and lived experience of algorithms and the operation of platforms in areas such as crypto-finance, production, surveillance, welfare, activism in pandemic times. Finally, it asks if platform cooperativism, collaborative design and neomutualism offer new visions. Even as problems with labour and in society mount, subjectivities and counter subjectivities here produced appear as conscious participants of change and not so much the servants of algorithmic control and dominant platforms. 606 $aSubjectivity 606 $aAlgorithms 606 $aDigital Technology 615 0$aSubjectivity. 615 0$aAlgorithms. 615 4$aDigital Technology. 676 $a518.1 702 $aRisi$b Elisabetta 702 $aBriziarelli$b Marco 702 $aArmano$b Emiliana 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910624372103321 996 $aDigital Platforms and Algorithmic Subjectivities$92973546 997 $aUNINA
