Research infrastructures and their appropriation for qualitative-interpretive research practices

A - Infrastructures
Computerised infrastructures and sensor technologies are increasingly permeating all areas of life and work. The subprojects of A seek to address the problems this raises by focusing on the technical dimensions and social consequences of media infrastructures in digital healthcare, advertising and personal data, mobility and navigation.
B - Publics
Digital data and infrastructures constitute their own public spheres. With its claim to pluralize the concept of the public sphere, project area B of the CRC investigates intimate, fragmented, staggered as well as global public spheres. The focus is on the cooperative production of media and data-driven public spheres
P - Sensory Praxeology
Media, sensors, and technologies are embedded in various sensing contexts, leading to an increasing interweaving of human and technical sensors. Project area P explores this socio-technical cooperation based on specific media and sensory practices in its subprojects.
Program Modules
The programme modules expand the research programme with digital infrastructures for collaborative research, structure the training programme for doctoral students and integrate heterogeneous publics cooperatively into the research.
