Stefania Milan: Resistance in the datafied society
The event will be held in English and simultaneously interpreted into German. In addition, the lecture will be broadcast live from 7 pm. The recorded video will be uploaded to this website a few days after the event.
We live in an increasingly datafied society. Smartphones, social media platforms, applications used for contact tracing or digital vaccination certificates are becoming ever more dominant in our public and private spaces. These data practices and infrastructures mediate relationships and exchanges, generate data that the tech industry exploits for profit and enable real-time population monitoring and effective power structures.
Resistance is possible, even desirable, and already practised by many. How can we organise it individually and collectively in the datafied society? Stefania Milan will explore possibilities to achieve this, also by drawing from concrete examples from Western countries and the Global South. She also addresses the margins of the datafied society, where human rights are further jeopardised and inequality is augmented by biometric surveillance.

Making Sense of the Digital Society
The current rapid pace of technological change creates enormous uncertainties – and thus the need for explanations that help us better understand our situation and shape the future. The Alexander von Humboldt Institute for Internet and Society (HIIG) and the Federal Agency for Civic Education (bpb) are therefore continuing the Lecture Series Making Sense of the Digital Society that was launched in 2017. The aim of the format is to develop a European perspective on the current processes of transformation and its societal impact.
