27. Juni 2022. Marion Fourcade: Rationalized Stratification - Landshut Lecture I

from HIS Mediathek · host Hamburger Institut für Sozialforschung

Preisverleihung und Vortrag The use of processes written in computer code – or »algorithms« – to mine and sort through massive datasets has made inroads in almost every major social institution. Today, techniques of mathematical optimization are routinely implemented across domains as varied as education, medicine, credit, insurance, criminal justice and the public sphere, in an effort to streamline and automate processes of risk prediction, resource allocation, communication and decision-making. These techniques are reorganizing markets, the state, and society at large. In the sphere of the market they create new classifications and forms of capital that structure people’s life-chances. In the sphere of the state they transform the conditions of citizenship and political identification. And for society as a whole they advance new forms of social organization and inequality, oriented toward and justified by measurement. Begrüßung: Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Knöbl (Direktor des Hamburger Instituts für Sozialforschung) Grußwort: Senator Dr. Carsten Brosda (Behörde für Kultur und Medien der Freien und Hansestadt Hamburg) Laudatio: Prof. Dr. Jens Beckert, Direktor am Max-Planck-Institut für Gesellschaftsforschung (MPIfG) und Professor für Soziologie an der Universität zu Köln Marion Fourcade ist Professorin für Soziologie an der University of California, Berkeley, und war 2019/20 Distinguished Visiting Professor of Sociology am Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton.
