Book Overview

This book fosters new links between non-representational theories and more-than-human perspectives. Offering multidisciplinary perspectives, from geography and anthropology, to social theory and qualitative research methodologies, it reimagines the boundaries of research by arguing for a new concept of “data.”

Reimagining Data

Original, bold, and creative contributions provocatively push us to reimagine what is meant by data. No longer something we can unproblematically understand as an empirical given, the notion of data is reimagined as the relational outcome of encounters, engagements, attachments, and more-than-human relations. As such the book expands the field of non-representational scholarship, challenging the ideas of data collection, analysis, and representation.

Target Audience and Significance

This innovative book provides a courageous contemporary theoretical and methodological intervention. It will be valuable for students, researchers and arts practitioners across the social sciences, and will serve as the beginning of new methodological dialogues for years to come.
