Participative Epistemology

This chapter addresses the precise procedures and operations which are embedded in the situated encounter of ethnographic, computational and statistical methods, and asks how text mining and sequence analysis can be used ethnographically, with an attentio

Acknowledgements

The key arguments in this book are that social data science is a collective effort and that diversity pays dividends. I indeed owe a lot to people I worked with from within the discipline and beyond. I am grateful to Giolo Fele, who took interest into why, as an “Information Systems” person, I was interested in ethnography and tried to explain me what ethnomethodology is. My research is always deeply indebted to Claudio Ciborra, a leading advocate of the separation of computer science from the mathematical and formal sciences. I also want to thank Robin Williams, for always challenging me to question my existing modes of research. A big thank goes to statistician and applied mathematician colleagues at the Alan Turing Institute for giving me the opportunity to ask questions on what happens inside the machine. The book is thought as a conversation with key scholars in the social data science debate: Rob Procter, Noortje Marres, Celia Lury, Tommaso Venturini, Michael Castelle, Giuseppe Veltri, David De Roure, Hjalmar Bang Carlsen, Anders Blok. This book is the continuation of our conversations. I also wa
