A guide to everything you need to understand to navigate a world increasingly governed by data. Data has become a defining issue of current times. Our everyday lives are shaped by the data that is produced about us (and by us) through digital technologies. In this book,
Critical Data Literacies, Luci Pangrazio and Neil Selwyn introduce readers to the central concepts, ideas, and arguments required to make sense of life in the data age. The authors challenge the idea that datafication is an inevitable and inescapable condition. Drawing on emerging areas of scholarship such as data justice, data feminism, and other critical data studies approaches, they explore how individuals and communities can empower themselves to engage with data critically and creatively.
Over the course of eight wide-ranging chapters, the book introduces readers to the main components of critical data literacies--from the fundamentals of identifying and understanding data to the complexities of engaging with more combative data tactics.
Critical Data Literacies explores how the tradition of critical literacies can offer a powerful foundation to address the big concerns of the data age, such as issues of data justice and privacy, algorithmic bias, dataveillance, and disinformation. Bringing together cutting-edge thinking and discussion from across education, sociology, psychology, and media and communication studies,
Critical Data Literacies develops a powerful argument for collectively rethinking the role that data plays in our everyday lives and re-establishing agency, free will, and the democratic public sphere.
一本指導您理解如何在一個日益受到數據主導的世界中導航的指南。
數據已成為當前時代的一個定義性議題。我們的日常生活受到通過數位技術產生的有關我們（以及由我們產生的）數據的塑造。在這本書《Critical Data Literacies》中，Luci Pangrazio 和 Neil Selwyn 向讀者介紹了在數據時代理解生活所需的核心概念、思想和論點。作者挑戰了數據化是一種不可避免和無法逃避的條件的觀點。通過借鑒數據正義、數據女性主義以及其他批判性數據研究方法等新興學術領域，他們探討了個人和社區如何能夠賦權自己，以批判性和創造性地參與數據。
在八個範圍廣泛的章節中，這本書向讀者介紹了批判性數據素養的主要組成部分——從識別和理解數據的基本原則到與更具對抗性的數據策略互動的複雜性。《Critical Data Literacies》探討了批判性素養的傳統如何為解決數據時代的重大關切提供強有力的基礎，例如數據正義和隱私、算法偏見、數據監控和虛假信息等問題。這本書匯集了來自教育、社會學、心理學以及媒體與傳播研究的前沿思考和討論，為集體重新思考數據在我們日常生活中所扮演的角色，以及重新建立主體性、自由意志和民主公共領域提出了有力的論點。
