This open access book focuses on a particular but significant topic in the social sciences: the concepts of footprint and trace. It associates these concepts with hotly debated topics such as surveillance capitalism and knowledge society. The editors and authors discuss the concept footprints and traces as unintended by-products of other (differently focused and oriented) actions that remain empirically imprinted in virtual and real spaces. The volume therefore opens new scenarios for social theory and applied social research in asking what the stakes risks and potential of this approach are. It systematically raises and addresses these questions within a consistent framework bringing together a heterogeneous group of international social scientists. Given the multifaceted objectives involved in exploring footprints and traces the volume discusses heuristic aspects and ethical dimensions scientific analyses and political considerations empirical perspectives and theoretical foundations. At the same time it brings together perspectives from cultural analysis and social theory communication and Internet studies big-data informed research and computational social science. This innovative volume is of interest to a broad interdisciplinary readership: sociologists communication researchers Internet scholars anthropologists cognitive and behavioral scientists historians and epistemologists among others.
