The Quantified Self movement has emerged to promote 'self-knowledge through numbers'. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Deborah Lupton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1509500596\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781509500598\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Polity Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/02\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.60h x 5.70w x 0.80d","brand":"Deborah Lupton","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46927857418495,"sku":"9781509500598","price":64.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1f485e24-085f-4ba1-8849-ff58adfec6ab.jpg?v=1749373183","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-quantified-self-deborah-lupton-9781509500598","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
