Racial formations as data formations

نویسندگان

چکیده

This commentary uses Paul Gilroy’s controversial claim that new technoscientific processes are instituting an ‘end to race’ as a provocation discuss the epistemological transformation of race in algorithmic culture. We situate within context abolitionist agenda against racial-thinking, underscoring relationship between his post-race polemic and post-visual discourse. then challenges studying regimes computation, which rely on structures are, for most part, opaque; particular, modes classification operate through proxies abstractions figure racialized bodies not single, coherent subjects, but shifting clusters data. argue this regime, emerges epiphenomenon classifying sorting – what we call ‘racial formations data formations’. discussion is significant because it raises theoretical, methodological political questions scholars media critical studies. It asks: how supposed think, identify confront racialisation when they vanish into systems beyond our perception? What becomes racial regimes?

Negotiated Formations

We present a decentralized, behavior-based approach to assembling and maintaining robot formations. Our approach dynamically grows formations from single robots into line segments and ultimately larger and more complex formations. Formation growth occurs by negotiation when robots are in close proximity. The approach has been validated using simulation as well as experiments with physical robot...

Feather formations

The individual feathers in the skin of a developing chicken embryo are arranged in a precise array within a series of so-called 'tracts'. The images above show nascent feather buds in the legs of embryos at 8–9 days of incubation. Buds are added sequentially across the forming feather tract, as shown by the range of developmental stages in the image at top left. (In all three upper images, buds...

Flocks and Formations

Given a large number (the “flock”) of moving physical objects, we investigate physically reasonable mechanisms of influencing their orbits in such a way that they move along a prescribed course and in a prescribed and fixed configuration (or “in formation”). Each agent is programmed to see the position and velocity of a certain number of others. This flow of information from one agent to anothe...

Figures , Formations , and Flows

Whatever else it is, communication research is gendered work. This has been true since its inception as an academic field, and in its commercial, civic, and educational wings as well. The specific gendering of its work has varied across time, region, and institution. But across all contexts, gender and affiliated relations of difference have been constitutive forces in the (re)production of the...

Robotic Chain Formations

One important task in cooperative robotics is the self–organization of robotic chain formations in unknown environments. Surveillance and reconnaissance in sewers, ducts, tunnels, caves or narrow passageways, in general, are some of the applications for this type of formation. In Hettiarachchi et al. (2008) we provided simulation results for a novel chain formation algorithm that addresses this...
