The Quantified Self movement has emerged to promote 'self-knowledge through numbers'.In this groundbreaking book Deborah Lupton critically analyses the social, cultural and political dimensions of contemporary self-tracking and identifies the concepts of selfhood and human embodiment and the value of the data that underpin them.The book incorporates discussion of the consolations and frustrations of self-tracking, as well as about the proliferating ways in which people's personal data are now used beyond their private rationales. Lupton outlines how the information that is generated through self-tracking is taken up and repurposed for commercial, governmental, managerial and research purposes. In the relationship between personal data practices and big data politics, the implications of self-tracking are becoming ever more crucial.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52196616896800,"sku":"NEW150950060X","price":24.17,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71QyQbLXuzL.jpg?v=1786950862","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-quantified-self-150950060x","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
