In recent years, the human and social sciences have witnessed, within various disciplinary perspectives, a renewed interest in reflection on calculation. Because of the problematic definition of calculation as the object of analysis, such reflection does not take the form of an organic debate. Instead, it develops as a set of analytical paths, often linked by significant connections, which focus on the various dimensions of contemporary calculative scenarios, from the morphology of calculation processes to the ‘performativity’ of calculation in organizational and socio-economic life, from the link between calculability and managerial rationality to the ties between calculation, power and institutional structures, and up to and including the relationship between calculation, agency and democracy |
