As Elodie and 35,000 other Congolese children negotiate dangerous working conditions that impair their health, some Western consumers enjoy the fruits of their debilitating labor to fight for their own rights in the ableist infrastructure of the West. Americans and people around the world benefit from the cooling power of an aquifer in South Carolina, water that is in the ground traditionally stewarded by the Catawba, Pee Dee, Chicora, Edisto, Santee, Yamassee, and Chicora-Waccamaw who are all still present in South Carolina, as are many descendants of the Cherokee, despite also being devastated by European-born diseases like smallpox. What role should our studies of the digital play in addressing these problems in the global digital supply chain?
当Elodie和其他35000名刚果儿童在危害他们健康的危险工作条件下谈判时,一些西方消费者享受着他们虚弱的劳动成果,在西方弱能主义的基础设施中为自己的权利而战。美国人和世界各地的人们都受益于南卡罗来纳地下蓄水层的冷却能力,地下的水传统上由卡托巴人、皮迪人、奇科拉人、埃迪斯托人、桑蒂人、亚马西人、奇科拉-瓦卡莫人管理,这些人现在仍然生活在南卡罗来纳,还有许多切罗基人的后裔,尽管他们也受到欧洲传播的疾病的破坏,比如天花。我们的数字研究在解决全球数字供应链中的这些问题方面应该发挥什么作用?

Stepping back to move forward: Centering capital in discussions of technology and the future of work 退一步前进:将资本集中在技术和未来工作的讨论中
IF 3.6 Q1 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2020-09-01 DOI: 10.1177/2057047320959854

Some researchers have warned that advances in artificial intelligence will increasingly allow employers to substitute human workers with software and robotic systems, heralding an impending wave of technological unemployment. By attending to the particular contexts in which new technologies are developed and implemented, others have revealed that there is nothing inevitable about the future of work, and that there is instead the potential for a diversity of models for organizing the relationship between work and artificial intelligence. Although these social constructivist approaches allow researchers to identify sources of contingency in technological outcomes, they are less useful in explaining how aims and outcomes can converge across diverse settings. In this essay, I make the case that researchers of work and technology should endeavor to link the outcomes of artificial intelligence systems not only to their immediate environments but also to less visible—but nevertheless deeply influential—structural features of societies. I demonstrate the utility of this approach by elaborating on how finance capital structures technology choices in the workplace. I argue that investigating how the structure of ownership influences a firm’s technology choices can open our eyes to alternative models and politics of technological development, improving our understanding of how to make innovation work for everyone instead of allowing the benefits generated by technological change to be hoarded by a select few.
一些研究人员警告称,人工智能的进步将越来越多地允许雇主用软件和机器人系统取代人类工人,预示着一波即将到来的技术失业浪潮。通过关注新技术开发和实施的特定背景,其他人已经揭示,未来的工作没有什么是不可避免的,相反,有可能出现多种模式来组织工作与人工智能之间的关系。尽管这些社会建构主义方法使研究人员能够识别技术结果中的偶然性来源,但它们在解释目标和结果如何在不同环境中收敛方面用处不大。在这篇文章中,我提出,研究工作和技术的研究人员应该努力将人工智能系统的结果不仅与它们的直接环境联系起来,而且与不太明显但影响深远的社会结构特征联系起来。我通过详细阐述金融资本如何构建工作场所的技术选择来证明这种方法的实用性。我认为,研究所有权结构如何影响企业的技术选择,可以让我们看到技术发展的其他模式和政治,提高我们对如何让创新为每个人服务,而不是让技术变革产生的利益被少数人所垄断的理解。

Social scientists are increasingly turning to digital interactions as a primary source of qualitative data. Online activities in turn typically take place on algorithmically mediated platforms, which shape what people do and say in crucial ways. Here, I offer a toolkit for what I call algorithmic ethnography, that is, the ethnographic study of how computational systems structure online activities. First, scholars need to follow the data and take into consideration the tracking strategies, monetization systems, and business models of the platforms where online interactions unfold. Second, ethnographers should focus on the details of algorithmic sorting, since platforms typically have more content than they can display and thus rely on algorithmic procedures to personalize their pages. Third, ethnographers should include metrics in their fieldwork and study their effects on interactions, hierarchies, and representations. Together, these angles afford a fine-grained understanding of the computational texture of online exchanges.
社会科学家越来越多地将数字互动作为定性数据的主要来源。反过来,网络活动通常发生在以算法为中介的平台上,这些平台以至关重要的方式塑造了人们的言行。在这里,我提供了一个工具包,我称之为算法人种志,也就是说,人种志研究如何计算系统结构在线活动。首先,学者需要跟踪数据,并考虑在线互动展开的平台的跟踪策略、货币化系统和商业模式。其次,人种学家应该关注算法排序的细节,因为平台通常有比它们能显示的更多的内容,因此依赖算法程序来个性化他们的页面。第三,民族志学者应该在他们的实地工作中包括度量标准,并研究它们对相互作用、等级制度和表征的影响。总之,这些角度提供了对在线交换的计算结构的细粒度理解。

Relational interaction and embodiment: Conceptualizing meanings of LGBTQ+ activism in digital China 关系互动与体现:数字中国LGBTQ+激进主义的概念化意义
IF 3.6 Q1 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2020-09-01 DOI: 10.1177/2057047320969438

This article theoretically and empirically explores meanings of recent activism practised by lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and other non-heterosexual groups (LGBTQ+) in China. Chinese LGBTQ+ individuals, like the majority of Chinese citizens, are generally self-restrained in popular contention because of the political risks involved. They also face widespread discrimination from the public when revealing their LGBTQ+ identities. This article is concerned with the perceived meanings of Chinese LGBTQ+ individuals suppressing engrained self-constraint to promote LGBTQ+ contention and certain level of collective action. Theoretically, I conceptualize Chinese LGBTQ+ protests as relational interactions undertaken by LGBTQ+ individuals with other people of queer identities (ingroup members), authorities and the public based on the logic of connective action. I also explore the concepts of embodiment and online embodiment to understand individuals’ sensual experiences during LGBTQ+ contention. Empirically, I examine university student Qiu Bai’s lawsuits with the Education Ministry and her social media campaign against homophobic textbooks. Drawing on in-depth interviews and textual analysis, the case study provides a dialectical account of individuals’ experience of embodiment and self-constraint.
本文从理论和实证两方面探讨了近年来中国女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋、跨性别、酷儿和其他非异性恋群体(LGBTQ+)行动主义的意义。由于涉及政治风险,中国LGBTQ+个人与大多数中国公民一样,在公众争论中普遍保持克制。他们在公开自己的LGBTQ+身份时也面临着公众的普遍歧视。本文关注的是中国LGBTQ+个体压抑内在的自我约束以促进LGBTQ+的争夺和一定程度的集体行动的感知意义。从理论上讲,我将中国的LGBTQ+抗议活动定义为LGBTQ+个体与其他具有酷儿身份的人(群体内成员)、当局和公众基于关联行为的逻辑进行的关系互动。我还探索了化身(embodiment)和在线化身(online embodiment)的概念,以理解LGBTQ+争论中个体的感官体验。根据经验,我研究了大学生秋白与教育部的诉讼,以及她在社交媒体上反对恐同教科书的运动。在深入访谈和文本分析的基础上,案例研究对个体的具体化和自我约束的体验提供了辩证的解释。

Social media and the spread of fake news during a social movement: The 2019 Anti-ELAB protests in Hong Kong 社交媒体与社会运动中假新闻的传播:2019年香港反ELAB抗议活动
IF 3.6 Q1 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2020-09-01 DOI: 10.1177/2057047320969437

This article summarizes the author’s observations and preliminary research findings about the politics of fake news and rumors during the 2019 Anti-Extradition Bill movement in Hong Kong. The fake news phenomenon is understood as grounded in the social-psychological needs of people in times of uncertainty, a political culture marked by polarization and normative disinhibition, and a mediascape that facilitates the fragmentation and privatization of public communication. The 2019 Hong Kong movement shows that, in the context of contentious politics, fake news and rumors can be used by political power to delegitimize a protest movement, but they can also be used by a protest movement to pressurize the political power and to sustain itself. It is argued that the roles, consequences, and normative desirability of fake news and rumors need to be examined in terms of how they are embedded in the power relationships and interactional dynamics of the movement concerned.
本文总结了作者对香港2019年反萃取法案运动期间假新闻和谣言政治的观察和初步研究结果。假新闻现象被理解为基于人们在不确定时期的社会心理需求,以两极分化和规范性去抑制为标志的政治文化,以及促进公共传播碎片化和私有化的媒体景观。2019年香港运动表明,在有争议的政治背景下,假新闻和谣言可以被政治权力用来剥夺抗议运动的合法性,但也可以被抗议运动用来压制政治权力并维持自身。有人认为,假新闻和谣言的作用、后果和规范可取性需要从它们如何嵌入相关运动的权力关系和互动动态的角度进行研究。

The entrepreneurial labor of reinvention in Beijing’s Zhongguancun high-tech district 北京中关村高新区的创业劳动力

Deploying the concept of the entrepreneurial labor of reinvention, this article contrasts the experiences of elite and grassroots IT entrepreneurs as they navigated China’s post-2008 economic restructuring centered around IT innovation and entrepreneurship in Beijing’s Zhongguancun high-tech district, also known as China’s Silicon Valley. By situating the changing labor practices and subjectivities of a new generation of Zhongguancun IT entrepreneurs in the history of the post-Mao evolution of IT labor and entrepreneurship, this article emphasizes the specificities of digital work that both continue from and reinvent historically situated local labor practices. It also deconstructs the universalism of the state-led entrepreneurialization campaign to highlight its regime of inequalities and persisting politics of exclusion.
本文运用创新创业劳动的概念,对比了精英和草根IT企业家在北京中关村高科技区(也称为中国硅谷)经历2008年后以IT创新和创业为中心的中国经济结构调整时的经历。通过将中关村新一代IT企业家不断变化的劳动实践和主观能动性置于后毛时代IT劳动和创业发展的历史中,本文强调了数字工作的特殊性,它既延续又重塑了历史上的地方劳动实践。它还解构了国家领导的创业运动的普遍主义,以突出其不平等制度和持续的排斥政治。

Data capitalism and the counter futures of ethics in artificial intelligence 数据资本主义和人工智能伦理的反未来
IF 3.6 Q1 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2020-09-01 DOI: 10.1177/2057047320972029
Ezekiel Dixon-Román, L. Parisi
Ethics in data science and artificial intelligence have gained broader prominence in both scholarly and public discourse. Much of the scholarly engagements have often been based on perspectives of transparency, politics of representation, moral ethical norms, and refusal. In this article, while the authors agree that there is a problem with the universal model of technology, they argue that what these perspectives do not address is the postcolonial epistemology of the machine. Drawing from Mark Fisher’s science fiction capital, it is posited that data capitalism doesn’t rely on data as a given, but on what data can become; it operates in the future as much as the calculation of probabilities coincides with the predictive extraction of surplus value. The authors argue that in order to address ethical and sociopolitical concerns in artificial intelligence, technosocial systems must be understood in data capitalism. After discussing what they characterize as the three paradigms of prediction, the authors point toward the transformative potential of temporal structures and indeterminacies in automated self-regulating systems. They argue therefore that assumptions of technological determinism that are found in debates about the reproduction of biases in systems of predictive intelligence has nothing to do with the technical machine, but is rather the result of a continuous re-territorialization of the technosocial possibilities of re-inventing epistemological paradigms outside the framework of colonial capital.
数据科学和人工智能的伦理在学术和公共话语中都得到了更广泛的重视。许多学术活动通常基于透明度、代表政治、道德伦理规范和拒绝的观点。在这篇文章中,虽然作者同意普遍的技术模型存在问题,但他们认为这些观点没有解决的是机器的后殖民认识论。从马克·费舍尔的科幻小说《资本》中可以看出,数据资本主义并不依赖于数据,而是依赖于数据可以变成什么;它在未来发挥作用,因为概率的计算与剩余价值的预测提取是一致的。作者认为,为了解决人工智能中的伦理和社会政治问题,必须在数据资本主义中理解技术社会系统。在讨论了他们所描述的三种预测范式之后,作者指出了自动自我调节系统中时间结构和不确定性的变革潜力。因此,他们认为,在关于预测智能系统中偏见的再现的辩论中发现的技术决定论的假设与技术机器无关,而是在殖民资本框架之外重新发明认识论范式的技术社会可能性的持续重新领土化的结果。

This article situates China’s social credit system in a historical perspective by exploring its antecedents. The historical roots of the social credit system can be found in personnel archives for officials during imperial times, the Dang’an (personnel dossier) system under Communist rule, and the failed legislative proposal to establish “morality files” on Chinese citizens in the early 2010s. By recognizing their historical continuity and disjuncture, the article places the social credit system in its unique sociocultural contexts and provides alternative narratives to the current dominant state framing of the social credit system.
本文通过对中国社会信用制度产生的原因的探讨,将其置于一个历史的视野中。社会信用制度的历史根源可以从帝国时期的官员人事档案、共产党统治下的党安(人事档案)制度以及2010年代初建立中国公民“道德档案”的失败立法提案中找到。通过认识到它们的历史连续性和脱节性,文章将社会信用体系置于其独特的社会文化背景中,并为当前社会信用体系的主导状态框架提供了替代叙事。

Making enemies with media 与媒体为敌
IF 3.6 Q1 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2020-03-01 DOI: 10.1177/2057047320950635
J. Packer, Joshua Reeves
This article examines the role of media technology in determining preconstitutive enemies of the political order. To do so, it analyzes how discipline-specific methods of enemy detection, analysis, and neutralization correspond to different media environments. Media have a diagnostic and prescriptive significance: not only do they locate enemies that conform to their own unique standards of measurement, they also offer reprogramming resources that accentuate their own peculiar biases and capacities. Episodes in the history of biology and psychology are examined for evidence of this media logic.
本文考察了媒体技术在确定政治秩序的宪法敌人方面的作用。为此,它分析了特定学科的敌人探测、分析和中和方法如何对应不同的媒体环境。媒体具有诊断和规范的意义:它们不仅能找到符合自己独特衡量标准的敌人,还能提供重新编程的资源,突出自己独特的偏见和能力。生物学和心理学史上的事件被检验为这种媒体逻辑的证据。

To do so, it analyzes how discipline-specific methods of enemy detection, analysis, and neutralization correspond to different media environments. Media have a diagnostic and prescriptive significance: not only do they locate enemies that conform to their own unique standards of measurement, they also offer reprogramming resources that accentuate their own peculiar biases and capacities. Episodes in the history of biology and psychology are examined for evidence of this media logic.","PeriodicalId":44233,"journal":{"name":"Communication and the Public","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2020-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/2057047320950635","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42063321","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Today, conversations automated by algorithms and delivered via screens seek to heal wounds such as substance use disorders, wartime traumas, and a global pandemic. This article explores the relationship between painful conversations, automated discourse, and public action. By articulating what is lost when therapeutic conversations are had with artificial intelligence, I illustrate that painful, human conversations expand capacities—contextualizing, norm-building, and caring—that are necessary for the public reparation of wounds.
如今,通过算法自动化并通过屏幕进行的对话旨在治愈药物使用障碍、战争创伤和全球大流行等创伤。本文探讨了痛苦对话、自动化话语和公共行动之间的关系。通过阐明与人工智能进行治疗性对话所失去的东西,我说明了痛苦的人类对话扩大了能力——情境化、规范构建和关怀——这是公共修复创伤所必需的。
