Abstract
This book explores the profound transformations brought about by the datafication of society, and reflects on the implications this has for activism, social movements, and contentious politics. The result is a collection of chapters that advance the field of social movement studies theoretically and empirically, enabling us to better understand these transformations and offering a vocabulary and conceptual apparatus that facilitates a truly interdisciplinary dialogue. Through rich case studies, empirical examples, novel insights, and provocative reflections, the book serves as an invitation for scholars and activists to reflect on the theoretical, empirical, methodological and ethical implications of the datafied society, and its consequences for social movement activism.
