Dear All,



the *Centre for Global Media and Democracy* (Goldsmiths, University of
London) and the *Centre on Social Movements Studies* (Scuola Normale
Superiore) are proud to invite you to the 5th SoME Seminar that focuses on
the concept of big data as a contested terrain of imagination and practice
which is understood in different ways by economic and political powers on
the one hand and political activists on the other. This seminar focuses on
these discursive tensions by exploring activists practices and beliefs
about big data. In particular, we aim at deconstructing the concept of big
data from an activist perspective and at discussing how social movement
actors related to big data. More specifically, we explore big data in three
different panels: a) *activists’ data cultures and big data* b) *activists’
discourses on big data*; and c) *activists’ practices involving big data*.



*The seminar is free and all are welcome to participate*. Please register
your interest by writing to alice.mattoni@??? by the *15th of
November 2016*.
