- More about Datafication of Public Opinion and the Public Sphere: How Extraction Replaced Expression of Opinion
The book explores how the concept of publicness has evolved, from the public use of reason to contemporary opinion mining, and discusses the challenges and opportunities this transformation presents for critical social thought.
Format: Hardback
Length: 182 pages
Publication date: 12 July 2022
Publisher: Anthem Press
The book delves into captivating discussions surrounding the Enlightenment notions of publicness, undertaking a comprehensive analysis of historical shifts in the fundamental aspects of publicness: the potential, constraints, and barriers to establishing a public sphere where individuals can reflexively generate, articulate, and express public opinion. Its central focus lies in the transformative journey from the "public use of reason" to the identification of "public opinion" through opinion polls, culminating in contemporary opinion mining, where the technology of extracting opinions has supplanted the Enlightenment ideal of public expression of opinion. This groundbreaking work heralds a fresh and critical impetus in the theory and research of publicness, particularly at a time when critical social thought is vigorously critiquing and even abandoning the notion of the public sphere, mirroring the earlier rejection of public opinion due to its predominant administrative usage.
