Recenzii
What happens when the objectives, beneficiaries, and participants of humanitarian activism are framed by digital technologies? When the door to humanitarian relief is opened or closed by algorithms? #Help lays out the distributive effects of recourse to digital interfaces by humanitarian actors: the re-ordering of powers and vulnerabilities between human groups, the routinization of emergencies, and the redirection of political action. This is a hugely interesting, politically relevant, and altogether new analysis of the transformations of the humanitarian imaginary resulting from its integration in the global digital revolution.
How does the diffusion of digital interfaces transform the practice, philosophy, and politics of humanitarian work? This essential and richly documented book discusses the normalization of binary thinking and datafication, the rise of new actionable objects and relations, and shifting temporalities and governance models. #Help offers an invaluable perspective that challenges what we thought we knew about how people today ask for help, and how others respond.
Philosophically grounded, historically rich, and analytically sharp, this book brings much needed clarity to the complex field of digital humanitarianism. Johns shows how humanitarianism is changing in relation to computational practices, and why this matters for law and politics on a global scale.
As humanitarianism has become a global language meant to represent and alleviate the suffering of the world, Fleur Johns critically explores its latest avatar: digital humanitarianism. Through fascinating case studies of recent tools claiming to characterize populations, map needs, and organize responses, #Help offers an original, rigorous and much-needed analysis of the ambiguous promise of this technological turn in the politics of compassion.
Books are rarely as prescient as Fleur Johns's #Help... It is a master class in theoretical synthesis and granular case work. #Help does not hesitate to take on big topics in big ways.
#Help: Digital Humanitarianism and the Remaking of International Order is a characteristically rich, intricate, thoughtful and insightful intervention from one of international law's most consistently enlightening contemporary scholars, Fleur Johns. It is a thoroughly enjoyable read and, on its face, a succinct descriptive account, infused throughout with sharp analytical observation.
The book is interspersed with 'prospects for doing otherwise',...It is a crucial contribution of the book that it hones its analytical apparatus to pay attention to dissensus and divergence and to keep questions of digital humanitarian futures open.
The theoretical offerings of the book can be mobilised and adapted in research attuned to the modes of freedom and safety people create collectively among themselves and against social sorting, detention, violence, policing and its technologies.
