[Air-L] publication of Special Issue "Contentious Data" (Social Movement Studies)

[Stefania Milan]

Dear colleagues

--apologies for cross-posting--
We are thrilled to announce the publication of the Special Issue 
Contentious Data. The Shifting Space of Social Movement Research in 
Datafied Societies in the journal Social Movement Studies! It is Volume 
23, Issue 3, 2024, and can be accessed following this link [1].

The ambition with this collection is to kick-start a much-needed 
interrogation of social movement theory vis-à-vis the pressures of our 
increasingly data-driven society, dialoguing with media studies, 
surveillance studies, science and technology studies, critical data 
studies and much more. The issue includes eight original research 
articles from diverse geographies, and two topical interventions by Nick 
Couldry (LSE) and David S Meyer (UCI). The introductory article, titled 
"Data in movement: the social movement society in the age of 
datafication". seeks to re-read key concepts from social movement 
research in light of developments in algorithmic media, targeted 
advertising, and mass surveillance, and ties all the articles together [2].

Enjoy! Let us know if you have access problems, since not all articles 
are open access: we will be happy to help.

Best, Stefania Milan and Davide Beraldo (guest editors), University of 
Amsterdam
