The technopolitics of database interoperability
We need to talk about the technopolitics of database interoperability. To date, databases remain crucial to datafied forms of public security, migration and border control. How databases are to speak to each other has cascading effects on the relation between power and knowledge, and upon how digital data, rights and subjectivities meet. This is especially the case in domains at the core of statecraft, where database interoperability affects both…
Devices of suspicion. An analysis of Frontex screening materials at the registration and identification center in Moria
The identification of migrants and the creation of data identities lies at the core of datafied forms of migration and border control. In recent years, Frontex has made identification to one of its key tasks and conducted so-called screenings in many EU member states. Yet only little is known about the screening materials in use. Based on an ethnographic inquiry of Frontex' data practices, this paper analyses Frontex booklets, dossiers, questionn…
Provisional by design. Frontex data infrastructures and the Europeanization of migration and border control
Data infrastructures for the Frontex joint operations are often only temporary and thus in need of being built up and removed easily, adjustable to changing constellations of security actors, and adaptable to new situations. They need to work through flaws, gaps, and inconsistencies. Still, they fabricate data used for the re-identification of migrants, police investigations, situational pictures, or risk analysis and lead to the intensification …
Soziologie des Digitalen - Digitale Soziologie?
About ten years ago, we were still able to justify the reservations of sociology with regard to digitisation as a healthy caution against the hype of the ‘virtual world’ and ‘cyberspace’; today, the situation looks different: beyond the usual rhetoric of media revolutions, new forms of practice, organisation and order have emerged around digital technologies in more or less all fields, posing tangible challenges to sociological theory-building, m…

Self-Tracking als Optimierungsprojekt?

Leben nach Zahlen
Was ändert sich, wenn Selbsterkenntnis zum digitalen Produkt wird? Ob Kalorien, Schritte, Blut- oder Stimmungswerte: Am Körper getragene mobile Geräte messen, überwachen und coachen alltägliches Verhalten und körperliche Leistungen. Die technisch vermittelte Erforschung, Steuerung und Optimierung des Selbst - das sogenannte »Self-Tracking« - etabliert nicht nur neue Verhältnisse von Körper, Technik und Wissen, sondern verwischt gleichermaßen die …
Human Beings in International Relations
Since the 1980s, the discipline of International Relations has seen a series of disputes over its foundations. However, there has been one core concept that, although addressed in various guises, had never been explicitly and systematically engaged with in these debates: the human. This volume is the first to address comprehensively the topic of the human in world politics. It comprises cutting-edge accounts by leading scholars of how the human i…
The Quantified Listener
The Quantified Listener
Various relationships between providers, audiences and other participants of cultural production are changing today. In the case of platforms that offer their users recommendations for pieces of music, formerly unknown artists are providing a fan base detached from the traditional mainstream of the music industry. While these artists were previously only able to establish a niche as an alternative to mainstream distribution, today they are being …

Gesellschaft im Spiegel der Zahlen – Die Rolle der Medien
Der vorliegende Beitrag versteht sich als Plädoyer für eine thematische und perspektivische Erweiterung der Debatte zur Mediatisierung der Gesellschaft (vgl. Krotz 2007). Es geht um die nicht zu übersehende Einmischung der elektronischen Medien in die immer tiefer reichenden wie auch stetig expandierenden Prozesse und Strukturen einer „Quantifizierung der Gesellschaft“. Mit diesem Begriff sind zunächst einmal vergleichsweise unspektakuläre Beobac…
Medien als soziotechnische Arrangements
Es ist mittlerweile zu einem Allgemeinplatz nicht nur medien- und kommunikationswissenschaftlicher Argumentation geworden, dass die letzten 20 Jahre von einem Medienwandel begleitet wurden. Internet und Mobiltelepho- nie, Digitalfernsehen und GPS-Navigation, Pizza bestellende Kühlschränke und MP3-Player, User-Generated Content und Wikipedia: Neue Medien gibt es in Mengen und vielfältigen Formen. Dennoch tut sich die Medien- und Kommunikationsfors…

Latour’s greatest hits, reassembled
It seems peculiar that a non-theory, anti-method has managed to become canonical, but that is what Bruno Latour will introduce you to in his book; the post-pluralist, post-humanist attitude called Actor-Network-Theory (ANT). Drawing together heaps of controversial research, Latour resuscitates ANT after its 1999 death (see Law and Hassard 1999). Like Graham Harman’s book about Latour, The Prince of Networks (2009), Reassembling the Social is the …
Actor-Network State
This conceptual article draws on literature in the sociology of science on modelling. The authors suggest that if state theory can be conceptualized as an 'engine' rather than merely a 'camera', in that policy is mobilized to make the world fit the theory, then this has implications for conceptualizing states. To examine this possibility the authors look through the lens of actor-network theory (ANT) and in doing so articulate a relationship betw…
Technik und Gesellschaft
Jan-Hendrik Passoth rekonstruiert die Entwicklung sozialwissenschaftlicher Techniktheorien von der frühen Moderne bis zur Gegenwart. Ziel ist es, eine Verfestigung von zwei Erklärungsmustern zu untersuchen, die sich während der Entwicklung gebildet hat. Diese Erklärungsmuster unterscheiden sich im Kern darin, dass sie entweder der Technik oder der Gesellschaft ein besonderes Gewicht einräumen. Die Varianten der Erklärungsmuster ändern sich mit de…
