The culture we consume is increasingly delivered to us via various digital on-demand platforms. The last decade has seen platforms like Facebook, Amazon, Netflix, Spotify, Google and the like become massive players in shaping cultural consumption. But how can we understand culture once it moves on to big tech platforms? How can we make sense of the changes this brings to our lives? These platforms have the power to shape our cultural landscape and to use data, algorithms and other technological means to shape our experiences, from what we remember through to what we know and even the speed and accessibility of culture. This book asks how can we understand the chaos and messiness of on-demand culture? Beer suggests that we focus on the quirks and use these as openings to see inside patterns and dynamics of these new cultural formations. By exploring the strange quirks that typify our new on-demand culture, this book seeks to answer these questions. The Quirks of Digital Culture is a guide to understanding the complex and unsettling cultural present, whilst also casting an eye on how our consumption and cultural experiences may unfold in what seems like an unpredictable future.

A significant new way of understanding contemporary capitalism is to understand the intensification and spread of data analytics. This text is about the powerful promises and visions that have led to the expansion of data analytics and data-led forms of social ordering. It is centrally concerned with examining the types of knowledge associated with data analytics and shows that how these analytics are envisioned is central to the emergence and prominence of data at various scales of social life. This text aims to understand the powerful role of the data analytics industry and how this industry facilitates the spread and intensification of data-led processes. As such, The Data Gaze is concerned with understanding how data-led, data-driven and data-reliant forms of capitalism pervade organisational and everyday life. Using a clear theoretical approach derived from Foucault and critical data studies the text develops the concept of the data gaze and shows how powerful and persuasive it is. It's an essential and subversive guide to data analytics and data capitalism.

Wie kann ökonomische Bildung dazu befähigen, angesichts der von Menschen verursachten sozialen und ökologischen Krisen eine nachhaltige Transformation unseres Wirtschaftssystems zu gestalten? Der Autor bereitet Modelle aus der Ökologischen Ökonomie und Umweltökonomie für Bildungsprozesse auf, analysiert Präkonzepte von Studierenden der Ökonomischen Bildung und führt fachwissenschaftliche Modelle und Lernendenvorstellungen zu Seminarkonzepten zusammen. Löw Beer argumentiert jedoch hinsichtlich seiner normativen Setzungen durchgehend transparent und selbstreflexiv, sodass die Arbeit zur weiteren Auseinandersetzung und vertieften Beschäftigung mit ökonomischen Bildung für eine nachhaltige Entwicklung anregt und für alle in der ökonomischen Bildung Lehrenden eine Bereicherung darstellt.
