Situated data analysis: a new method for analysing encoded power relationships in social media platforms and apps

Abstract: This paper proposes situated data analysis as a new method for analysing social media platforms and digital apps. An analysis of the fitness tracking app Strava is used as a case study to develop and illustrate the method. Building upon Haraway's concept of situated knowledge and recent research on algorithmic bias, situated data analysis allows researchers to analyse how data is constructed, framed and processed for different audiences and purposes. Situated data analysis recognises that data is always partia… Show more

“…In the smart city construction, the city through the Internet of things and the Internet to the massive data collection and transmission, through the cloud computing to the massive data storage and calculation, cloud computing is like the human brain cells, responsible for the storage and processing of information, and the network connecting the cloud computing resources is equivalent to the neural network between the brain cells, responsible for the transfer and exchange of data and information [ 15 ]. Because they all have a demand for storage and processing of massive data, cloud computing is widely used in smart cities, such as transportation, communication, water and electricity, medical care, education, culture, and many other fields.…”

“…Analogously, Mitchell et al (2019) propose 'model cards' to describe ML models and their behaviour across different populations that might be subject to a given model along with its intended use. Similarly drawing on Haraway (1988), Rettberg (2020) identifies how data is situated and viewed through disembodied positions in the aggregation and display of personal data in mobile applications.…”

“…(Cunha, 2020) Rettberg defined new possibilities of data analysis in the field of social media. (Rettberg, 2020) Leading authors Yuand and Fang emphasize that the right visualization requires the right technology, as does groundswell data analysis. Technology interconnection is a necessary pillar.…”
