We are wi tnessing the start of a new phase in human history that rivals in importan ce the emergence of historic colonialism: in short\, the emergence of a ne w data colonialism\, based on the appropriation of human life through data \, that will pave the way for a new capitalism that it is as yet too early to name. The lecture will discuss how a new social order is being created as the key means to stabilise and enforce these developments. This new or der creates new dependencies on platforms through which data is extracted\ , and also produces new forms of social discrimination\, based on a reinve ntion of social knowledge. The result is a hollowing out of the social wor ld\, which for corporate capitalism takes on the paradoxical form of an em erging new social domain available for endless exploitation and manipulati on.\n\nNick Couldry is Professor of Media\, Communications and Social Theo ry at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE). As a soc iologist of media and culture\, he approaches media and communications fro m the perspective of the symbolic power that has been historically concent rated in media institutions. He is interested in how media and communicati ons institutions and infrastructures contribute to various types of order (social\, political\, cultural\, economic\, ethical). Couldry is author or editor of twelve books including most recently The Mediated Construction of Reality (with Andreas Hepp\, Polity\, 2016)\, Ethics of Media (2013 Pal grave)\, Media\, Society\, World: Social Theory and Digital Media Practice (Polity 2012) and Why Voice Matters: Culture and Politics After Neolibera lism (Sage 2010). His lecture will draw on the author’s forthcoming book with Ulises Mejias\, The Costs of Connection: How Data Colonizes Human Li fe and Appropriates it for capitalism (Stanford University Press 2019).\n\ nPlease register for the event using the registration form below.\n\n[phot ospace ids="55441\,55437\,55435\,55431\,55433\,55439\,55443"]\nAgenda\n\n\ n\n18:30\n  Doors open\n\n\n19:00 – 19:15\n  Welcome and introduction\ n\n\n19:15 – 20:00\n  Colonised by data – the hollowing out of digita l society\n  Nick Couldry (London School of Economics and Political Scien ce)\n\n\n20:00 – 21:00\n  Moderated discussion and questions from the a udience\n\n\n21:00 – 22:00\n  Get-together\n\n\n\n \;\n\nThe event will be held in English and simultaneously translated into German.\n\nFor press accreditation\, please contact Florian Lüdtke.\n\nThis event will b e recorded and broadcasted live.
