“Deleuze and Guattari’s approach to identifying and harnessing opportunities for change can be used to amplify the CDS agenda of challenging data power asymmetries and creating more widely valued data assemblages.” - (Fussell, 2022)

• “assemblage thinking” (Anderson et al., 2012; Hansen and Koch, 2022: 10; Müller and Schurr, 2016; Tseng, 2023)

Methods

• Component analysis: Break down the assemblage into its constituent parts and examine each component’s properties and behaviors.
• Network analysis: Study the relationships between components, including the patterns of connection and interaction.
• grouping?
• content analysis - a methodologically explicit way of analyzing texts or images involving quantitative and qualitative procedures (Bell, 2011; Krippendorff, 2004; Mitchell, 2011; Schreier, 2014; Trilling and Jonkman, 2018)
