And how can we understand algorithms not only as technical, but also as social and political phenomena? Democratic Algorithms offers theoretically and empirically informed perspectives on how we can imagine and design algorithms for a democratic society, and what we even mean by that. Based on ethnographic fieldwork, the book illustrates how a recommender system was built in a public broadcaster, raising questions not only about organizational and technical implementation, but also about the possible compatibility of such an algorithmic system with democratic constitutions.</p> 20 00 Open Access meson press 01 meson press Lüneburg 04 01 20240524 2024 06 15 9783957962249 06 15 9783957962256 09 meson press 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://meson.press/books/democratic-algorithms 99 01 09 meson press 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://meson.press/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/978-3-95796-225-6-Democratic-Algorithms.pdf 99 01
