Dear friends,

members of this list may be interested in this reflection:

http://infolet.it/2016/09/22/big-data-terrorism-and-the-role-of-the-digital-humanities/

We believe mass surveillance conducted through the use and misuse of our data is not only (sic) an issue of democracy and freedom, but affects directly the Humanities as a scholarly discipline and intellectual activity. Both levels, geopolitics of the network and identity, involve building, accessing and manipulating cultures, memory and *knowledge*. Which ultimately is the "core business" of humanists and social scientists.

This article is part of a series of posts we'll be publishing on Infolet.it in the next months as a part of an ogoing book project: "The End of the Internet". Occasionally we'll try to translate fragments or  chapters in other languages, especially if people from the DH community will help us!

Thanks

Domenico
