This book presents emerging themes and future directions in the interdisciplinary field of critical data studies, loosely themed around the notion of shifting response-abilities in a datafied world.

In each chapter an interdisciplinary group of scholars discuss a specific theme, ranging from questions around data power and the configuring of data subjects to the intersection of technology and the environment.

The book is an invaluable dialogue between disciplines that introduces readers to cutting edge arguments within the field. It will be a key resource for scholars and students who require a guide to this rapidly evolving area of research.

"Datafication whirrs around us, and even with us, with dizzying velocity. This expansive interdisciplinary collection deftly describes contemporary configurations of data’s power through a set of provocative multi-author dialogues. Engaging, exhilarating, essential." Colin Koopman, University of Oregon

Juliane Jarke is Professor of Digital Societies at the University of Graz.
