DESCRIPTION:The Department of Media Studies presents PROFESSOR NICK COULDRY
 \, London School of Economics and Political Science. This lecture will draw
  on the author’s work on data colonialism - most recently Data Grab (Pengui
 n 2024) – his solo book on social media The Space of the World: Can Human S
 olidarity Survive Social Media and What if it Can’t? (Polity 2024)\, and hi
 s current work on AI’s impact on the social construction of knowledge. It w
 ill explore media and communications’ evolution over the past 20 years via 
 a decolonial framework that\, beyond identifying enduring neocolonial force
 s\, shows how ever more of the world’s resources are captured in a new stag
 e of colonial appropriation. Digital media platforms (and the large-scale A
 I characterizing platforms and many other digital interfaces) play a crucia
 l role in this capture. Critical research must give ever more attention to 
 the conditions of social life and the changing nature of social reality. A 
 battle is emerging between business and community perspectives for the cont
 rol of everyday infrastructures: is it time for critical researchers to cho
 ose sides?
