Inhuman Hermeneutics of the Self: Biopolitics in the Age of Big Data.
In this paper, I present a Foucauldian reflection on our datafied present. Following others, I characterize this present as a condition of "digital capitalism" and proceed to explore whether and how digital conditions present an important change of episteme and, accordingly, an importantly different...
