It is often digital, freely available, and related to matters of shared concern, from global warming graphs to collaborative spreadsheets documenting mass layoffs. It circulates via maps and apps which enable us to discover, report, and rate what is around us.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublic Data Cultures\u003c\/i\u003e explores the practices and cultures of how data is made public in the age of the Internet. Looking beyond familiar narratives of data as a resource to be liberated or protected, this book offers new perspectives on public data as networked cultural material, as a medium of participation, and as a site of transnational politics. To better account for how data makes a difference, the book argues for a more expansive conception of what is involved in making data public. In doing so, it focuses not just on removing restrictions but also on caring for arrangements involved in making data public in ways that grow shared understanding and solidarity in responding to the many intersecting troubles of our times.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNurturing critical and creative engagements with data, this book is essential reading for students and scholars of media, communications, Internet studies, science and technology studies, and digital humanities, as well as artists, designers, engineers, reporters, public sector workers, community organisers, and activists working with data.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46871446814956,"sku":"9781509571390","price":37.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/12736153482725.jpg?v=1759880995"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/collections\/jonathan-w-gray.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
