The Special Section of IJOC sets out from the idea that the public understanding of datafication is driven by discourses in the media and among policymakers and the imaginaries they evoke.
The Special Section is open to theoretical and empirical approaches. Due to the variety of paradigms, we believe that it is necessary to work across disciplines and embrace an international perspective. It invites senior as well as emerging scholars to contemplate the entanglement of discourse and technology.
