The ZeM would like to take its annual focus on “Platformatizations” as an opportunity to discuss relevant texts on the topic. Following the discussions in the summer semester on theoretical and conceptual foundations and approaches, the focus will be on historical perspectives and comparisons in the winter semester. Everyone interested is cordially invited to participate.

We will conlude the colloquium on Friday, January 16, 14:00-16:00 with the following reading:

• Taina Bucher: If…Then. Algorithmic Power and Politics, New York 2018, 5. Kapitel, “Affective Landscapes: Everyday Encounters with Algorithms”, pp. 93-117.
