In her talk Weizenbaum Fellow Katika K\u00fchnreich<\/a> will speak about past and present attempts of (digital) social control or \u201esocial management\u201d in China.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

For more than a year China\u2019s efforts to build so-called social credit systems have become a widely discussed topic. In her talk Katika K\u00fchnreich will speak about past and present attempts of (digital) social control or \u201esocial management\u201d in China and about political programs of and influences of China\u2019s Communist Party. The Chinese government\u2019s current plans to construct social credit systems and the inclusion of data collected by governmental agencies as well as private sectors are often criticized by Western media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

However, the foundations of the \nprograms are rarely mentioned. By reflecting on the consequences of \nthese programs and their central players the talk will highlight the \nrole of a communist party as a leader in social regulation via \ndatafication and its relationship with Confucianism. Taking a look at \nthe past of China\u2019s government programs, their implications as well as \nat the situation of social regulation in the West, this talk discusses \nimportant implications of datafication and quantification for social \nregulation and social control from a comparative perspective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
