Description
Public Data Cultures provides a comprehensive examination of how data has become central to public life, governance, and social organization. Jonathan W. Y. Gray investigates the cultural practices, policies, and power dynamics that surround public data in the digital age.
The book explores how data is collected, managed, and used by governments, institutions, and citizens. Gray analyzes the tensions between transparency and privacy, accessibility and control, and technical infrastructure and social justice. Through case studies and theoretical frameworks, he demonstrates how data cultures shape public discourse and decision-making.
This work is essential for understanding the relationship between data, democracy, and society. It provides insights into data literacy, open data movements, and the political economy of information in the 21st century.
