Datafication and data fiction: Narrating data and narrating with data
DOI:10.1177/2053951718784083.png)
Abstract
En 中文
Data do not speak for themselves. Data must be narrated-put to work in particular contexts, sunk into narratives that give them shape and meaning, and mobilized as part of broader processes of interpretation and meaning-making. We examine these processes through the lens of ethnographic practice and, in particular, ethnography's attention to narrative processes. We draw on a particular case in which digital data must be animated and narrated by different groups in order to examine broader questions of how we might come to understand data ethnographically.
