  • Situated ethics

    Open Access•Anne Mager, Magdalena Eitenberger et al.•ARTICLE•Media Culture & Society•2025•Citada por: 6•Referencias: 10

    This article investigates growing tensions between global AI ethics and local practices contributing to long-standing debates in media and communication studies on the complex relation between the human and the machine, as well as ‘the global’ and its ties to real-world contexts. We argue that seemingly universal principles such as privacy, accountability and transparency need to be scrutinised by considering the role cultural and social diversit…

  • European Search? How to counter-imagine and counteract hegemonic search with European search engine projects

    Open Access•Anne Mager•ARTICLE•Big Data & Society•2023•Citada por: 2•Referencias: 47

    This article investigates how developers of alternative search engines challenge increasingly corporate imaginaries of digital futures by building out counter-imaginaries of search engines devoted to social values instead of mere profit maximization. Drawing on three in-depth case studies of European search engines, it analyzes how search engine developers counter-imagine hegemonic search, what social values support their imaginaries, and how the…

    In this piece, which frames the special issue, "The State of Google Critique and Intervention," we provide an overview of research focusing on Google as an object of critical study, fleshing out the European interventions that actively attempt to address its dominance. The article begins by mapping out key areas of articulating a Google critique, from the initial focus on ranking and profiling to the subsequent scrutiny of user exploitation and c…

  • Future imaginaries in the making and governing of digital technology

    Open Access•Anne Mager, Christian Katzenbach•ARTICLE•New Media & Society•2021•Citada por: 63•Referencias: 8

    Visions of the future are omnipresent in current debates about the digital transformation. This introductory article and the full special issue are concerned with the function, power, and performativity of future visions and how they relate to the making and governing of digital technology. Revisiting existing concepts, we particularly discuss and advance the concept of sociotechnical imaginaries. In difference to ephemeral visions and partisan i…

  • Algorithmic Profiling of Job Seekers in Austria

    Open Access•Doris Allhutter, Florian Cech et al.•ARTICLE•Frontiers in Big Data•2020

    As of 2020, the Public Employment Service Austria (AMS) makes use of algorithmic profiling of job seekers to increase the efficiency of its counseling process and the effectiveness of active labor market programs. Based on a statistical model of job seekers' prospects on the labor market, the system-that has become known as the AMS algorithm-is designed to classify clients of the AMS into three categories: those with high chances to find a job wi…

  • The House of Tshatshu

    Open Access•Anne Mager, Anne Kelk Mager et al.•BOOK•House of Tshatshu•2018

    ‘In 1852 Sir George Cathcart pronounced that the amaTshatshu chieftaincy no longer existed: “I have broken and banished the tribe”, he boasted. This deeply researched book, at once clear-sighted and moving, traces the consequences of this proscription to the present day. In the course of a detailed examination of 200 years of this Thembu chieftaincy, Mager and Velelo illuminate a number of large and pressing themes in South African history. These…

  • Internet governance as joint effort

    Open Access•Anne Mager•ARTICLE•New Media & Society•2018•Citada por: 9•Referencias: 14

    In this article, I investigate Internet governance in practice by focusing on search engines, Google in particular. Building on science and technology studies–grounded Internet governance research, I ask how different stakeholders interpret governing by algorithms, the governing of algorithms, and the limits of various governing modes when considering local specificities. To answer these questions, I conducted 18 qualitative interviews with key e…

  • Search engine imaginary

    Open Access•Anne Mager•ARTICLE•Social Studies of Science•2016•Citada por: 15•Referencias: 5

    This article discusses the co-production of search technology and a European identity in the context of the EU data protection reform. The negotiations of the EU data protection legislation ran from 2012 until 2015 and resulted in a unified data protection legislation directly binding for all European member states. I employ a discourse analysis to examine EU policy documents and Austrian media materials related to the reform process. Using the c…

  • Defining Algorithmic Ideology

    Open Access•Anne Mager, Astrid Mager•ARTICLE•tripleC Communication Capitalism…•2014

    This article conceptualizes “algorithmic ideology” as a valuable tool to understand and critique corporate search engines in the context of wider socio-political developments. Drawing on critical theory it shows how capitalist value-systems manifest in search technology, how they spread through algorithmic logics and how they are stabilized in society. Following philosophers like Althusser, Marx and Gramsci it elaborates how content providers and…

  • Gungubele and the Tambookie Location 1853-1877

    Anne Kelk Mager, Anne Mager•ARTICLE•Journal of Southern African Studies•2014

    This article brings a fresh perspective to colonial encounter in the north-eastern Cape frontier through the story of Gungubele, chief of a senior Thembu clan living in the southern part of the Tambookie location. Queenstown and the Tambookie location were established as twin colonial projects at the end of the seventh frontier war. While the location evolved as a prototype experiment in peasant agriculture and freehold tenure, the white town pro…

    What are the conditions for the public understanding of biofuels and how do the media shape these conditions under the influence of a new production of knowledge? This article investigates how the biofuel controversy plays out in the Swedish press and Google search engine results and analyses winners and losers in the tight attention economy of contemporary media. It describes different visibility strategies biofuel stakeholders employ in both me…

  • Colonial Conquest and the Tambookie Frontier

    Anne Mager•ARTICLE•Journal of Southern African Studies•2013•Citada por: 1

    Tambookie, the San name for abaThembu, was adopted by the British for the area north of the eastern Cape colonial boundary in the 1820s. By the 1830s, all those who lived in this liminal zone had become snared in the trap of conquest – none perhaps as inexorably as Maphasa, chief of the amaTshatshu, a Thembu clan. Unstable colonial policy and successive failed attempts to control the Tambookie frontier between 1830 and 1850 buffeted Maphasa. Afte…

  • Algorithmic Ideology

    Anne Mager, Astrid Mager•ARTICLE•Information Communication & Society•2012

    This article investigates how the new spirit of capitalism gets inscribed in the fabric of search algorithms by way of social practices. Drawing on the tradition of the social construction of technology (SCOT) and 17 qualitative expert interviews it discusses how search engines and their revenue models are negotiated and stabilized in a network of actors and interests, website providers and users first and foremost. It further shows how corporate…

  • Health information politics

    Open Access•Anne Mager, Astrid Mager•ARTICLE•First Monday•2012

    This paper challenges the democratic ideal of the Web as a new public sphere in the medical context. Drawing on a mix of methods it investigates how different Web site providers configure and position their diabetes sites in the multitude of online health information, search engine results in particular. Building on insights gained from critical new media studies and medical sociology, it shows that a range of power relations and information poli…

  • Shaping the future e-patient

    Open Access•U Felt, Lisa Gugglberger et al.•ARTICLE•Science & Technology Studies•2009

    This paper investigates how public discourses, as articulated in EU policy and Austrian media documents, take part in the creation and stabilisation of a new patient figure – the e-patient. The documents we analysed act as one material form for enacting, performing and giving meaning to the changes occurring when a new technology enters established networks in the medical realm. Our analysis will show that the public discourses we studied deploy …

  • Mediated health

    Open Access•Anne Mager•ARTICLE•New Media & Society•2009•Citada por: 7•Referencias: 13

    While most of the existing research about online health information focuses exclusively on either the provider or the user side of communication circuits, this article aims to integrate and discuss both sides and their mediated relation to one another. Drawing on actor-network theory, it conceptualizes the provision and use of online health information as sociotechnical. It questions concretely how website providers position their websites and in…

  • Visions and Versions of Governing Biomedicine

    Open Access•U Felt, Maximilian Fochler et al.•ARTICLE•Social Studies of Science•2008•Citada por: 8•Referencias: 7

    In recent years, governance and public participation have developed into key notions within both policy discourse and academic analysis. While there is much discussion on developing new modes of governance and public participation, little empirical attention is paid to the public's perception of models, possibilities and limits of participation and governance. Building on focus group data collected in Austria within the framework of a European pr…

  • Apartheid and business

    Anne Kelk Mager, Anne Mager•ARTICLE•Business History•2008•Citada por: 3•Referencias: 29

    The South African brewing industry experienced enormous growth in the apartheid era, following the lifting of prohibition on the sale of 'European liquor' to Africans in 1961. Successive international brewers and local entrepreneurs sought to benefit from increased demand in the 1970s but were unable to withstand competition from South African Breweries (SAB), the dominant player in the industry. A decade of intense competition in the brewing ind…

  • Trafficking in Liquor, Trafficking in Heritage

    Anne Mager•ARTICLE•International Journal of Heritage…•2006•Citada por: 2•Referencias: 11

    A burgeoning literature on post‐apartheid heritage configuration has largely overlooked the use of branding in the creation of heritage discourses in South Africa and the significance of liquor for national identity. This article brings these two concerns together through an examination of two heritage‐scapes—the SAB World of Beer and the SAB Newlands Brewery Heritage Centre—constructed by South African Breweries (SAB) in 1995. It suggests that t…

    Anne Mager•ARTICLE•Journal of Southern African Studies•1998•Citada por: 23•Referencias: 15

    Organisations of Xhosa‐speaking youth — predominantly boys and young men — in the 1950s and 1960s were critical spaces for the construction of masculine identities in rural Ciskei and Transkei. In the context of post‐Second World War industrialisation, collapsing reserve agriculture and apartheid rule, these organisations were critical sites for filtering influences and fashioning values and lifestyles. While boys and young men constantly reconst…

  • The First Decade of ‘European Beer’ in Apartheid South Africa

    Open Access•Anne Mager•ARTICLE•The Journal of African History•1999•Citada por: 16

    The study of liquor provides an opportunity for re-examining relations between states and economies. Recent works in European social history have shown that liquor occupies an ambiguous space between economic, social and cultural production while studies of liquor in colonial Africa repeatedly raise the problem of how economic freedoms pertaining to liquor were constructed in relation to the perceived character of persons in society. More specifi…

    The South African brewing industry experienced enormous growth in the apartheid era, following the lifting of prohibition on the sale of 'European liquor' to Africans in 1961. Successive international brewers and local entrepreneurs sought to benefit from increased demand in the 1970s but were unable to withstand competition from South African Breweries (SAB), the dominant player in the industry. A decade of intense competition in the brewing ind…

  • Shaping the future e-patient

    Open Access•U Felt, Lisa Gugglberger et al.•ARTICLE•Science & Technology Studies•2009

    This paper investigates how public discourses, as articulated in EU policy and Austrian media documents, take part in the creation and stabilisation of a new patient figure – the e-patient. The documents we analysed act as one material form for enacting, performing and giving meaning to the changes occurring when a new technology enters established networks in the medical realm. Our analysis will show that the public discourses we studied deploy …

  • Mediated health

    Open Access•Anne Mager•ARTICLE•New Media & Society•2009•Citada por: 7•Referencias: 13

    While most of the existing research about online health information focuses exclusively on either the provider or the user side of communication circuits, this article aims to integrate and discuss both sides and their mediated relation to one another. Drawing on actor-network theory, it conceptualizes the provision and use of online health information as sociotechnical. It questions concretely how website providers position their websites and in…

  • Colonial Conquest and the Tambookie Frontier

    Anne Mager•ARTICLE•Journal of Southern African Studies•2013•Citada por: 1

    Tambookie, the San name for abaThembu, was adopted by the British for the area north of the eastern Cape colonial boundary in the 1820s. By the 1830s, all those who lived in this liminal zone had become snared in the trap of conquest – none perhaps as inexorably as Maphasa, chief of the amaTshatshu, a Thembu clan. Unstable colonial policy and successive failed attempts to control the Tambookie frontier between 1830 and 1850 buffeted Maphasa. Afte…

  • Defining Algorithmic Ideology

    Open Access•Anne Mager, Astrid Mager•ARTICLE•tripleC Communication Capitalism…•2014

    This article conceptualizes “algorithmic ideology” as a valuable tool to understand and critique corporate search engines in the context of wider socio-political developments. Drawing on critical theory it shows how capitalist value-systems manifest in search technology, how they spread through algorithmic logics and how they are stabilized in society. Following philosophers like Althusser, Marx and Gramsci it elaborates how content providers and…

  • Gungubele and the Tambookie Location 1853-1877

    Anne Kelk Mager, Anne Mager•ARTICLE•Journal of Southern African Studies•2014

    This article brings a fresh perspective to colonial encounter in the north-eastern Cape frontier through the story of Gungubele, chief of a senior Thembu clan living in the southern part of the Tambookie location. Queenstown and the Tambookie location were established as twin colonial projects at the end of the seventh frontier war. While the location evolved as a prototype experiment in peasant agriculture and freehold tenure, the white town pro…

  • Search engine imaginary

    Open Access•Anne Mager•ARTICLE•Social Studies of Science•2016•Citada por: 15•Referencias: 5

    This article discusses the co-production of search technology and a European identity in the context of the EU data protection reform. The negotiations of the EU data protection legislation ran from 2012 until 2015 and resulted in a unified data protection legislation directly binding for all European member states. I employ a discourse analysis to examine EU policy documents and Austrian media materials related to the reform process. Using the c…

  • The House of Tshatshu

    Open Access•Anne Mager, Anne Kelk Mager et al.•BOOK•House of Tshatshu•2018

    ‘In 1852 Sir George Cathcart pronounced that the amaTshatshu chieftaincy no longer existed: “I have broken and banished the tribe”, he boasted. This deeply researched book, at once clear-sighted and moving, traces the consequences of this proscription to the present day. In the course of a detailed examination of 200 years of this Thembu chieftaincy, Mager and Velelo illuminate a number of large and pressing themes in South African history. These…
