[Air-L] literature on theory and big data in social sciences

[Giuseppe Alessandro Veltri]

This might be relevant (cheeky self-promotion) to you and it contains several references to get a picture of the current debate.

Subject: [Air-L] literature on theory and big data in social sciences

Dear researchers of the Internet,

I'm looking for literature that deals with the relations between theory and
method in the social sciences in an age of big data and the supposed 'end
of theory'. Data is increasingly likely to be a starting point for social
scientists investigating the digital world, but what does this mean for
theory, method and the relations between them?

Any information and literature would be very welcome. Many thanks in
advance!

Best regards,

Tom van Nuenen
