How is society being reshaped by the continued diffusion and increasing centrality of the Internet in everyday life and work? Society and the Internet provides key readings for students, scholars, and those interested in understanding the interactions of the Internet and society. This multidisciplinary collection of theoretically and empirically anchored chapters addresses the big questions about one of the most significant technological transformations of this century, through a diversity of data, methods, theories, and approaches.Drawing from a range of disciplinary perspectives, Internet research can address core questions about equality, voice, knowledge, participation, and power. By learning from the past and continuing to look toward the future, it can provide a better understanding of what the ever-changing configurations of technology and society mean, both for the everyday life of individuals and for the continued development of society at large.This second edition presents new and original contributions examining the escalating concerns around social media, disinformation, big data, and privacy. Following a foreword by Manual Castells, the editors introduce some of the key issues in Internet Studies. The chapters then offer the latest research in five focused sections: The Internet in Everyday Life; Digital Rights and Human Rights; Networked Ideas, Politics, and Governance; Networked Businesses, Industries, and Economics; and Technological and Regulatory Histories and Futures. This book will be a valuable resource not only for students and researchers, but for anyone seeking a critical examination of the economic, social, and political factors shaping the Internet and its impact on society.

The Oxford Handbook of the Sociology of Body and Embodiment challenges the view that bodies belong to the category of "nature" and are biological, essential, and pre-social. It argues instead that bodies both shape and get shaped by human societies. As such, the body is an appropriate and necessary area of study for sociologists. The Handbook works to clarify the scope of this topic and display the innovations of research within the field. The volume is divided into three main parts: Bodies and Methodology; Marginalized Bodies; and Embodied Sociology. Sociologists contributing to the first two parts focus on the body and the ways it is given meaning, regulated, and subjected to legal and medical oversight in a variety of social contexts (particularly when the body in question violates norms for how a culture believes bodies "ought" to behave or appear). Sociologists contributing to the last part use the bodily as a lens through which to study social institutions and experiences.

L'essor des intelligences artificielles réactualise une prophétie lancinante : avec le remplacement des êtres humains par les machines, le travail serait appelé à disparaître. Si certains s'en alarment, d'autres voient dans la « disruption numérique » une promesse d'émancipation fondée sur la participation, l'ouverture et le partage. Les coulisses de ce théâtre de marionnettes (sans fils) donnent cependant à voir un tout autre spectacle. Celui des usagers qui alimentent gratuitement les réseaux sociaux de données personnelles et de contenus créatifs monnayés par les géants du Web. Celui des prestataires des start-ups de l'économie collaborative, dont le quotidien connecté consiste moins à conduire des véhicules ou à assister des personnes qu'à produire des flux d'informations sur leur smartphone. Celui des microtravailleurs rivés à leurs écrans qui, à domicile ou depuis des « fermes à clic », propulsent la viralité des marques, filtrent les images pornographiques et violentes ou saisissent à la chaîne des fragments de textes pour faire fonctionner des logiciels de traduction automatique. En dissipant l'illusion de l'automation intelligente, Antonio Casilli fait apparaître la réalité du digital labor : l'exploitation des petites mains de l'intelligence « artificielle », ces myriades de tâcherons du clic soumis au management algorithmique de plateformes en passe de reconfigurer et de précariser le travail humain. Antonio A. Casilli est sociologue, enseignant-chercheur à Télécom ParisTech et chercheur associé au LACI-IIAC de l'EHESS. Il a notamment publié Les Liaisons numériques (Seuil, 2010) et, avec Dominique Cardon, Qu'est-ce que le digital labor ? (INA, 2015).
