  Technologies of the self - normativity and subjectivity in self-evaluation

  Study day by the "Body, Technology and Society" group of the Association française de sociologie (AFS)

  Cette journée d’étude se propose de questionner le processus technico-social par lequel les capteurs d’activité produisent des normes. C’est justement afin d’ouvrir la boîte noire, tant technique que sociale, de la « normativité » des instruments d’auto-mesure, que la journée d’étude convie à dialoguer des intervenants qui s’intéressent à des aspects complémentaire de la « norme ».

  The Fate of Post-Mortem Personal Data

  Profiles compiled from scattered digital footprints left by the user on the Internet shape the outline of digital identities. While the Internet user is alive, he remains in charge of managing these identities, with the help of digital privacy law. Yet as civil rights befall the living, these data protection rights, as such, fall as his death occurs. This international workshop, organised in the frame of the ENEID research project on post-mortem digital identities, will bring together scholars from the field of Information and Communication sciences and from Legal studies, as well as experts working as Data Protection Officers or working for Data Protection Authorities, in order to take a closer look at the fate of personal data after death.

  Complexity, Networks and Internet Regulation

  Seminar of the ANR project on distributed architectures

  Why is the Internet so difficult to regulate? In large part, its complexity and size have proved challenging, but there seems to be a lot of ignorance about how it really works. Large interconnected systems such as the Internet display a number of inherent architectural characteristics deeming them well-suited to the study of complex dynamic networks. The starting point of this talk is that it is perfectly possible to use various network science-based tools to explore the contentious issue of Internet regulation. Specifically, the Internet as a dynamic distributed system requires new challenges that rely on that same distributed nature in order to tackle them.
