Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

MoreLong description:
Taking up the challenges of the datafication of culture, as well as of the scholarship of cultural inquiry itself, this collection contributes to the critical debate about data and algorithms. How can we understand the quality and significance of current socio-technical transformations that result from datafication and algorithmization? How can we explore the changing conditions and contours for living within such new and changing frameworks? How can, or should we, think and act within, but also in response to these conditions?, This collection brings together various perspectives on the datafication and algorithmization of culture from debates and disciplines within the field of cultural inquiry, specifically (new) media studies, game studies, urban studies, screen studies, and gender and postcolonial studies. It proposes conceptual and methodological directions for exploring where, when, and how data and algorithms (re)shape cultural practices, create (in)justice, and (co)produce knowledge
This carefully curated book brings together a stellar group of scholars to tackle the relationship between data and culture, and their implications for theory, empirical research, and creative practice. The collection paints a rich and detailed picture of the myriad ways culture is being datafied, and demonstrates that cultural and media studies can help us better understand the politics of data. Through a diverse and imaginative set of contributions and a wide range of fascinating examples, the book shows how mundanity, meaning, mediation, and materiality shape datafication's social and environmental consequences, and how they might guide our responses to it in the future. The book is a much-needed contribution to the critical data studies scholarship and should be essential reading for researchers and students in this field. , Jean Burgess, Professor of Digital Media, Queensland University of Technology (AUS),
What can data do, not just for us but to us? This formidable collection of essays offers timely lessons on the importance of data in contemporary cultural practices, from the craft of coffee roasting to the performances of Janelle Monáe. I recommend this book to anyone who seeks to understand data, not just as facts, but as cultural artifacts. With precision and panache, it illustrates how data shape experience and power relations across radically different contexts. , Yanni Loukissas, Associate Professor of Digital Media, Georgia Tech (US)
