摘要

我在这篇文章中的理论目的是，根据目前绝大多数人类所掌握的技术可供性，重点研究尺度的过程性行为。我提供了算法尺度和算法标量可供性这两个术语来描述一位活动家对尺度的实践理论的参与——她的“算法想象力”（Bucher 2017）——这使她以算法放大或放大她在Facebook上的活动的方式来设计她的受众——以增强其数字、快速和跨本地的传播，利用她在网站上可用的算法构建的交流可能性或可供性。（社交媒体、规模、算法、受众设计、Facebook、激进主义、国家、政治）

Grassroots scaling up: Navigating algorithmic scales in a technopolitical landscape

My theoretical aim in this article is to focus on an examination of processual enactments of scale in light of the technological affordances that are currently at the disposal of a significant majority of humans. I offer the terms algorithmic scales and algorithmic scalar affordances to describe one activist's engagement of practical theories of scale—her ‘algorithmic imagination’ (Bucher 2017)—which led her to design her audience in ways intended to algorithmically scale up, or amplify, her activities on Facebook—to enhance their spread numerically, rapidly, and translocally, making use of the algorithmically constructed communicative possibilities or affordances available to her on the site.

期刊介绍： Language in Society is an international journal of sociolinguistics concerned with language and discourse as aspects of social life. The journal publishes empirical articles of general theoretical, comparative or methodological interest to students and scholars in sociolinguistics, linguistic anthropology, and related fields. Language in Society aims to strengthen international scholarship and interdisciplinary conversation and cooperation among researchers interested in language and society by publishing work of high quality which speaks to a wide audience. In addition to original articles, the journal publishes reviews and notices of the latest important books in the field as well as occasional theme and discussion sections.
