Big Data, Community Surveillance, and Aggregated Emotions: Public Texts on the Coloniality of the Algorithm, 2016–2019

This archival corpus gathers public essays, talks, and published texts by Flavia Dzodan produced between 2016 and 2019 on Big Data, communal privacy, platformed violence, racialized classification, algorithmic neutrality, aggregated emotions, consent, extraction, prediction, and the coloniality of the algorithm. The deposit preserves these works as citable, traceable, and findable archival objects. The texts document two braided strands: first, the continuity between colonial taxonomy, census regimes, communal data, scientific racism, archival bookkeeping, and algorithmic prediction; second, the ways dominant emotions become politically admissible as data while the fears, vulnerabilities, and refusals of marginalized subjects are recoded as perception, weakness, anomaly, or pathology. The files are preserved as archival copies of public works originally published, delivered, or printed between 2016 and 2019. Original titles, dates, venues, URLs, and Internet Archive / Wayback Machine captures are recorded in the foreword and README.
