From the Introduction:
…Since we commit to a focus on the practical conditions under which knowledge emerges, we must now specify what were ours while writing this book: a dual activity as a PhD student at the University of Technology of Compiègne ‒ a privileged place to observe the articulation between technology and knowledge ‒ and as an employee of a software publisher
specializing in big data called Proxem. In this company, action-research was undertaken that combined academic research with practical activity analyzing massive textual data governed by the need for effective intelligibility. Several
tasks were entrusted to us, including carrying out studies based on the processing of big data in the fields of marketing and human resources, and analyzing and understanding the needs and uses of the software developed by
the company. Through these different missions, and while immersed in the environment of this company, we were able not only to observe closely, but also to experience concretely, the emerging contemporary practices developed by the multiplication of the traces we leave of ourselves.
