Résumé:
Today, data science is a form of power. It has been used to expose injustice, improve health outcomes, and topple governments. But it has also been used to discriminate, police, and surveil. This potential for good, on the one hand, and harm, on the other, makes it essential to ask: Data science by whom? Data science for whom? Data science with whose interests in mind? The narratives around big data and data science are overwhelmingly white, male, and techno-heroic. In ''Data feminism,'' Catherine D'Ignazio and Lauren Klein present a new way of thinking about data science and data ethics—one that is informed by intersectional feminist thought. Illustrating data feminism in action, D'Ignazio and Klein show how challenges to the male/female binary can help challenge other hierarchical (and empirically wrong) classification systems. They explain how, for example, an understanding of emotion can expand our ideas about effective data visualization, and how the concept of invisible labor can expose the significant human efforts required by our automated systems. And they show why the data never, ever ''speak for themselves.'' ''Data feminism'' offers strategies for data scientists seeking to learn how feminism can help them work toward justice, and for feminists who want to focus their efforts on the growing field of data science. But ''Data feminism'' is about much more than gender. It is about power, about who has it and who doesn't, and about how those differentials of power can be challenged and changed.

Résumé:
Ce sont les nouveaux grands seigneurs de notre temps. Les GAFAM (Google, Apple, Facebook, Amazon, Microsoft) et autres plateformes (Airbnb, Uber et Netflix) règnent sans partage sur un empire numérique qui transcende les frontières nationales, au mépris de la souveraineté des États et de leurs législations. Épidémie de fausses nouvelles, polarisation des débats, contrôle des données personnelles, surconsommation énergétique et pollution atmosphérique… Ces barbares numériques représentent une véritable menace pour la démocratie. Devant la passivité de nos gouvernements, à Québec comme à Ottawa, Alain Saulnier lance un appel à la résistance. Pour l’ancien directeur de l’information de Radio-Canada, il est urgent d’établir l’équité fiscale, de protéger les droits d’auteur et de moderniser tout l’écosystème numérique. Il en va de la survie de nos médias, de notre langue et de notre culture françaises en Amérique du Nord.

Résumé:
In Archive Fever, Jacques Derrida deftly guides us through an extended meditation on remembrance, religion, time, and technology—fruitfully occasioned by a deconstructive analysis of the notion of archiving. Intrigued by the evocative relationship between technologies of inscription and psychic processes, Derrida offers for the first time a major statement on the pervasive impact of electronic media, particularly e-mail, which threaten to transform the entire public and private space of humanity. Plying this rich material with characteristic virtuosity, Derrida constructs a synergistic reading of archives and archiving, both provocative and compelling.

Résumé:
“The revolution will be Twittered!” declared journalist Andrew Sullivan after protests erupted in Iran. But as journalist and social commentator Evgeny Morozov argues in The Net Delusion, the Internet is a tool that both revolutionaries and authoritarian governments can use. For all of the talk in the West about the power of the Internet to democratize societies, regimes in Iran and China are as stable and repressive as ever. Social media sites have been used there to entrench dictators and threaten dissidents, making it harder—not easier—to promote democracy. Marshalling a compelling set of case studies, The Net Delusion shows why the cyber-utopian stance that the Internet is inherently liberating is wrong, and how ambitious and seemingly noble initiatives like the promotion of “Internet freedom” are misguided and, on occasion, harmful.

Résumé:
Le potentiel de la bibliothèque de consolider le lien entre la ville et l'homme contemporain invalide les fondements des années 1990, basés sur une vision hiérarchique de l'espace, au profit d'une conception vicinale. La définition d'un espace non-hiérarchique apparaît alors comme l'emblème de tout projet architectural.

Résumé:
Constant activity in digital and analogue spaces leaves behind an increasingly diffuse feeling of unease, irrespective of how commonplace that activity may be. Meantime however, the marketing of social relations, the dissolution of the private sphere, and the dominance of commercial actors are being perceived as a problem that demands an active interdisciplinary discourse. Media scientists and artists reflect here on that unease and present perspectives on and ways out of the excessive demands on users by way of the most recent research and artistic experiments. This book brings together essays and provides insight into the international group exhibition featuring works by Olia Lialina, Christoph Wachter & Mathias Jud, and Benjamin Grosser, among others.

Résumé:
En étudiant des opérations et des systèmes techniques potentiellement ouverts à la recherche, cet essai interroge le rapport du design aux «humanités numériques» (digital humanities) qui se développent depuis le milieu des années 2000. En quoi les environnements numériques contemporains actualisent-ils les modes de production et de transmission des savoirs ? Quelle est la place des designers dans des projets relevant des sciences humaines et sociales ? De la modélisation des connaissances à l’injonction à l’innovation et à la créativité, du design d’expérience aux conditionnements techniques, de l’étude de la rationalité numérique aux reconfigurations de la subjectivité, ce parcours réflexif montre que l’industrie des programmes, chaque jour un peu plus puissante, n’a pas épuisé tout le champ des possibles. En interrogeant et en révélant l’environnement technique dans lequel les humanités numériques opèrent, le travail des techniques numériques par le design montre ainsi qu’il reste de la place pour d’autres modulations, d’autres sensibilités, d’autres cultures.

Résumé:
Our daily lives, our culture, and our politics are now shaped by the digital condition, in which greater numbers of people are engaged in negotiating meaning in ever more dimensions of life, from the trivial to the profound. They are making use of a complex communication infrastructure, currently dominated by social mass media such as Twitter and Facebook, on which they have come to depend.Amidst a confusing plurality, Felix Stalder argues that there are three key constituents of this condition: the use of existing cultural materials for one’s own production, the way in which new meaning is established as a collective endeavor, and the underlying role of algorithms and automated decision-making processes that give shape to massive volumes of data. These three characteristics define what Stalder calls “the digital condition.”
