Abstract

Abstract:This essay examines the reading that individuals do online in conjunction with digital technologies, and how these reading practices are in turn read, monetized, and exploited by both corporations and state entities. Gary Shteyngart’s Super Sad True Love Story (2010) provides a fictional lens on these data surveillance regimes. Although the novel reproduces troubling assumptions about race and gender that inform these regimes, it also imagines modes of reading and being read that afford pathways of individual resistance to the full legibility that data collecting entities desire.

《超级悲情真爱》中的大数据与阅读实践

摘要：本文研究了个人与数字技术结合在网上进行的阅读，以及这些阅读实践是如何被公司和国家实体阅读、货币化和利用的。Gary Shteyngart的《超级悲伤的真爱故事》（2010）为这些数据监控制度提供了一个虚构的视角。尽管这部小说再现了为这些制度提供信息的关于种族和性别的令人不安的假设，但它也想象了阅读和被阅读的模式，为个人抵抗数据收集实体所希望的完全易读性提供了途径。
