Jan D’s Reviews > Problem Spaces: How and Why Methodology Matters > Status Update

130 Platforms as recentralizing knowledge production while still being open to reuse and collaboration
137 Platforms as figurative (see Haraway 97, the book with the most 90s title ever)
145 Model organisms as stable and thus rendering context irrelevant
147 Will the model/speciment system be replaced by platforms?
149 recursion as principle

122: Platforms create many sided markets and transform these sides
123: Knorr Cetina: Information in financial system are about news, not (permanent) truth; news inform moves, moves change conditions. Knowledge gets used up.
124 Platforms (even metaphorically) are not neutral; people are supported by them, stand on them.

117 Platforms as digital media intermediatries' depend on the concepts of platforms being architectural, political, computational and figurative

100 Opacity of process as protection from others trying to influence the outcome of the study
112 The state-made "common space of measurements" is bieng underminded today
113 John Law: method assemblages as reality detector/reality amplifiers
113 Markets as platforms?
115 Platforms as mediators in the creation of problem spaces

Something on inflation indicators by creating a representative sample or by trying to scrape proces from the web. I don't know where this is going.

Material particiation is creating spaces (or rather places!) so that publics can form and act (transform, that is!)

What is participation? Being tracked? Liking stuff? Active voicing in deliberation?

In many participatory projects happen both civic involvement and the study of civic involvement.

Big data sa individual customization and evaluation of the environment.

Participatory Condition: People always particiapte in the creation of theor environment, but today it is explicitly structures around the concept of participation.

Statistics can both be used to fight against inequalities or for creating and maintaining them.
