Algorithmic Cultures

Essays on Meaning, Performance and New Technologies

Herausgeber: Seyfert, Robert; Roberge, Jonathan

Beschreibung

The contributions in this book analyze the emergence and subsequent ubiquity of algorithms in various realms of social life. The authors address the complex interrelations between groups and algorithms in the construction of meaning and social interaction, highlighting in particular their performative dimensions by exposing the dialectic processes by which algorithms frame reality.
