Fri Jun 3 00:50:54 PDT 2016

Hi Katie,

The article is now published here http://www.tandfonline.com/eprint/fAeR8SN2V63QPy5rUc34/full
It’s in Health Sociology Review, special issue edited by Deborah Lupton. The title is "Training to self-care: fitness tracking, biopedagogy and the healthy consumer”. I am forwarding to the list for other people who might be interested.

I hope it is of use.

Best wishes
Aristea

We all experience such loneliness. I feel tremendously lonely myself. We cannot really come up with the ideal occupation that will entertain us completely. There is always some kind of gap where we have to experience a sense of loneliness. I feel that a lot, but I feel joyful, too, just being myself. You cannot expect one-hundred-percent hospitality anywhere at all. That is precisely the meaning of liberation or freedom: freedom from both the loneliness and the hospitality of the world. With that freedom, you begin to find a new strength, a new dimension. You do not have to lean to the right or the left anymore, but you could stand on your own two feet, or one foot, whatever you possess. The ability to do that comes completely out of practice. — Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche, The Profound Treasury of the Ocean of Dharma, Vol. 3

Hi Katie,

That’s great. Your work sounds really interesting, I’d love to hear more. As I wrote to Elizabeth, the paper has been accepted
in the special issue on self-tracking in Health Sociology Review, edited
by Deborah Lupton and will be out soon. I am currently addressing a few
reviewer comments and will have the proofs in a couple of weeks. I can
send you the updated version then, if that’s OK. You can reference the
article as follows, in the meantime:

Fotopoulou, A. and O’Riordan, K. (forthcoming) Training to self-care:
Fitness tracking, biopedagogy and the healthy consumer, Health Sociology
Review.

I am also writing a different article about data subjects and the moral economy of data sharing, which you may find useful. I will share this with you at a later stage, when it is ready for circulation. You might also find in helpful the following:

Gardner P., and Wray B., (2013) From Lab to Living Room: Transhumanist Imaginaries of

Consumer Brain Wave Monitors. Ada: A Journal of Gender, New Media and Technology. 3

And

van Dijck, J. (2014) Datafication, dataism and dataveillance: Big Data between scientific paradigm

and ideology. Surveillance & Society. 12(2): 197-208.

Have you also looked at Evelyn Ruppert’s work? She is the editor of Big Data and Society, and she is writing on data subjectivity too.

Of course you probably have everything by Deborah Lupton.

I hope this is of help for now.

Best wishes
Aristea

Hi Aristea,
Thank you! This is just what I was looking for. Do you have any publications or a bibliography you could share with me? In a portion of my dissertation I'm discussing how technology reifies philosophical views/ontological assumptions/etc and using a few different types of tech as little case studies. I'd like to use tracking apps/persuasive tech a la Fitbit as one of the examples I discuss. What are assumptions about what it means to be a person and what it means to be happy that underly the design of technologies like Fitbit?

A couple others have responded to me also interested in the presentation, so if you'd like to respond to the list with your slides and/or other pubs or references, they might like that. (Or, I can share what you share with me, if you prefer.)

Thank you!
Katie

Hi Katie,

Our paper with Kate O¹Riordan examines new forms of self-training and data
subjectivities relating to pedagogies of self-care with Fitbit and other
wearables. It was presented with the title 'Biosensory experiences and
media materiality¹ and the slides of the presentation are here:
