Abstract

This article deals with the problem of the change in the theoretical conception and practical realisation of political representation in the era of big data, i.e. in the 20th and 21st century, when IT data processes have become an almost integral part of the political life of citizens. Based on the concepts of the philosophers F. Ankersmit and J. Baudrillard, the article analyses why, despite the arguments of critical data studies, the forms of political representation affected by big data are still considered objective. After presenting research on the characteristics of political representation in the information technology-dominated public sphere and smart cities, the article identifies signs of the decline of contemporary political representation: the compression of public space and the legitimation processes of datafication facilitated by big data in the smart city. The continuation of the article’s theme and the analysis of the problems are recommended to be pursued in the field of post-political discussions.
挑战大数据时代的政治代表性
本文探讨了在大数据时代,即 20 世纪和 21 世纪,当信息技术数据流程几乎成为公民政治生活不可分割的一部分时,政治代表性的理论概念和实际实现方式的变化问题。文章以哲学家 F. Ankersmit 和 J. Baudrillard 的概念为基础,分析了为什么尽管批判性数据研究提出了论点,但受大数据影响的政治代表形式仍被认为是客观的。在介绍了对信息技术主导的公共领域和智慧城市中政治代表性特征的研究后,文章指出了当代政治代表性衰落的迹象:智慧城市中公共空间的压缩和大数据促进的数据化合法化进程。建议在后政治讨论领域继续探讨文章主题和分析问题。
