Ideal Subjects
How data and artificial intelligence create a new, abstract digital subject Ideal Subjects examines how samples of our lives and daily behaviors have come to reside in the world of data and artificial intelligence—and what this means for who we are and what we may become. Detailing how AI-facilitated algorithmic prediction and data modeling make “ideal subjects” of us, Olga Goriunova explores the complex ways we relate to these digital abstractions. As more and more of our experience is funneled through computational records and models, datafied aspects of our lives are segmented and reconfigured to operate as new entities. Rather than viewing these abstract assemblages as extensions o...
Life and the Law in the Era of Data-Driven Agency
This ground-breaking and timely book explores how big data, artificial intelligence and algorithms are creating new types of agency, and the impact that this is having on our lives and the rule of law. Addressing the issues in a thoughtful, cross-disciplinary manner, leading scholars in law, philosophy, computer science and politics examine the ways in which data-driven agency is transforming democratic practices and the meaning of individual choice.
Latour and the Passage of Law
These 13 essays explore Bruno Latour's legal theory from a variety of disciplinary perspectives. They combine analytical tools drawn from Latour's actor-network theory developed in Science in Action, Reassembling the Social and The Making of Law with the philosophical anthropology of the Moderns in An Inquiry into Modes of Existence to blaze a new trail in legal epistemology.
Smart Grid Security
The Smart Grid security ecosystem is complex and multi-disciplinary, and relatively under-researched compared to the traditional information and network security disciplines. While the Smart Grid has provided increased efficiencies in monitoring power usage, directing power supplies to serve peak power needs and improving efficiency of power delivery, the Smart Grid has also opened the way for information security breaches and other types of security breaches. Potential threats range from meter manipulation to directed, high-impact attacks on critical infrastructure that could bring down regional or national power grids. It is essential that security measures are put in place to ensure that ...
Egotism, Elitism, and the Ethics of Musical Humility
Blending philosophy, empirical research, and pop culture references, Egotism, Elitism, and the Ethics of Musical Humility takes a penetrating look at how our striving for individual achievement can lead us to grow disconnected from one another-and how humility can help us restore our common humanity. In exploring the dangers of egotism and inadequacy in our musical lives, Coppola unpacks how institutional and systemic structures like racial oppression, gender inequity, and the neoliberal drive for continual growth and achievement perpetuate ideologies of elitism and exclusion. By reframing our understanding of ethical responsibility as a collective rather than an individual concern, the book offers musical humility as an empowering virtue in which we are driven to uplift ourselves and others to celebrate our shared humanity and artistic dignity. By embracing musical humility, musicians, educators, and scholars can contribute to social change efforts by fostering honest self-reflection, facilitating meaningful dialogue, and embracing the ethical tensions inherent to our artistic lives.
Post-Truth Imaginations
This book engages with post-truth as a problem of societal order and for scholarly analysis. It claims that post-truth discourse is more deeply entangled with main Western imaginations of knowledge societies than commonly recognised. Scholarly responses to post-truth have not fully addressed these entanglements, treating them either as something to be morally condemned or as accusations against which scholars have to defend themselves (for having somehow contributed to it). Aiming for wider problematisations, the authors of this book use post-truth to open scholarly and societal assumptions to critical scrutiny. Contributions are both conceptual and empirical, dealing with topics such as: th...
