Digital transformations and processes of “datafication” fundamentally reshape how information is produced, circulated and given meaning. In this article, we provide a concept of “datastructuring” which seeks to capture this reshaping as both a product of and productive of social activity. To do this we focus on (1) how new forms of social action map onto and are enabled by technological changes re
The process of financialisation has been cast as a major contributor to increasing inequality of wealth and income in a number of advanced industrialised economies, but the nature of the link requires precise clarification. In this article, we argue that financialisation in Australia has advanced inequality, but in a particular way. Charting several features of ‘financialisation of the macroeconom

This chapter highlights two contradictory trends. Successive federal governments have attempted to create a favourable regulatory environment for financial institutions, including NIFs, through a series of general (reform of the financial market regulation) and specific (tax breaks for venture capital and investment fund capital gains) regulatory initiatives. At the same time, the mix of corporate
Presentationen ger en inblick i bokutgivningens historia, och beskriver den förändring som begreppet förlag har genomgått. Relationen mellan teknik och ekonomi tas upp, och kopplas till frågor om den föreställningsvärld som omgärdar författare, böcker och litteratur.
In this article, we put into question the discourses that emerged during the global financial crisis (GFC) and that coalesced around a particular socio-economic imaginary of ‘recovery’ over the period 2009–2012. Our reading of these discourses is very much guided by the notion of the dialectic as developed by Fredric Jameson, and as such this paper can be read as an attempt to put his theoretical
Current literature describes digital nomadism as an interesting for tourism research but a relatively exclusive social phenomenon (Chevtaeva & Denizci-Guillet, 2021; Thompson, 2019). Digital nomads are self-employed people with a mobile lifestyle made possible by digital work. Based on that description, it would seem like a research field with limited societal significance. However, the call f
This thesis embarks on a journey in the advancement of urban traffic management, centering around the innovative integration of Autonomous Intersection Management (AIM) systems. The research encompasses a comprehensive exploration of various facets of AIM implementation, significantly contributing to the evolution of a more efficient and safer urban transport system.The research investigates the d
With the growing demand for efficient, safe and sustainable transportation systems, the imperative to design intelligent routing and traffic management solutions within urban settings, requiring minimal data exchange and ensuring scalability, becomes evident. This paper introduces an innovative paradigm for traffic management. By seamlessly integrating machine learning and Autonomous Intersection
The identification and remediation of contaminated sites in Europe is a continuous undertaking that includes different aspects. There are many variables to take into consideration such as the nature of the contaminants, the risks they pose, the location of the site and possible future usages. Also, possible negative effects on the local residents or the environment have to be considered. Within th
