http://icts-and-society.net/events/digital-objects-digital-subjects-a-symposium-on-activism-research-critique-in-the-age-of-big-data-capitalism-the-6th-icts-society-conference/

Presenters at the symposium will engage with questions of the digital in
respect to activism, research and critique. The conference will engage
with the possibilities, potentials, pitfalls, limits, and ideologies of
digital activism. It will reflect on whether computational social
science, the digital humanities and ubiquitous datafication enable new
research approaches or result in a digital positivism that threatens the
independence of critical research and brings about the death of the
social sciences and humanities. The conference will explore the futures,
places and possibilities of critique in the age of digital subjects and
digital objects.

The event is free, but advance registration is required (some places are
left, but get occupied quickly). To register, please complete the
