Focusing on areas such as data and language, data and sensemaking, data and power, data and invisibility, and big data aggregation, it demonstrates that humanities research, focusing on cultural rather than social, political or economic frames of reference for viewing technology, resists mass datafication for a reason, and that those very reasons can be instructive for the critical observation of big data research and innovation. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe eBook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com.
