Mediating Market Moralities: Making Personalized Apps in the ‘Attention Economy’
This article considers how actors within digital markets creatively navigate moral ambiguities in their work, and how this shapes the building of (software) material relations. Catching the attention of an app user is considered morally ambiguous behavior in the ‘attention economy’ discourse shaping the Danish app market. Employees of the Danish app agency Monocle navigate this moral ambiguity by ‘personalizing’ apps so that they become relevant …
How app companies use GitHub: On Modes of Valuation in the Digital Attention Economy
This paper contributes to political economic debates on the digital economy and software production by attending to the ‘hybridity’ of economic forms in digital markets. It adds to a nascent literature on hybridity by going close to the processes of code-production. Methodologically, we ambitiously combine in-situ ethnography with netnographic observation and qualitative interviews in a thickly multi-situated analysis of Danish proprietary app de…
The sociology of rationing: Towards increased interdisciplinary dialogue ‐ A critical interpretive literature review
Since the 1990s, the sociology of rationing has developed in explicit opposition to health economic and bioethical approaches to healthcare rationing.

Based on a critical interpretive litera…

In this commentary, we discuss three ways in which anthropologists can use computational tools to enhance, support, and complement ethnographic methods. By presenting our reflections, we hope to contribute to the stirring conversations about the potential future role(s) of (social) data science vis-a-vis anthropology and ethnog…
