Data Analysis Analytic

In order to analyze and organize my data, I plan on using a cross-scale questioning analytic that is tailored to far-Right movements in an era of late liberalism. To create this analytic, I considered Kim Fortun’s understanding of late industrialism (Fortun 2012) and Elizabeth Povinelli’s understandings of late liberalism, a “topological twist” in the governance of difference and the governance of markets (Povinelli 2015). For Povinelli, late liberalism is like a symphony—there is no one time or place where late liberalism has happened. Late liberalism has happened and is happening (ibid).Deutero (reflective/learning capacity)What actors are denoting or worrying about “late liberalism?” What capacity (and incapacity) is there to attend to and recognize late liberalism?Meta (dominant discourses)What discourses advance—or undercut and disavow—understanding with late liberalism? What are the discursive risks and gaps inherent in discourses on late liberalismMacro (law, political economy)What laws and economies under grid and shape the power of late liberalism? How are laws grasping for late liberalism’s survivalMeso (organizations)What are the actors and social groups at play at this time that late liberalism is happening? What are the dynamics between them? What organizations are in play in the making, assessment and stewarding of late liberalism? What organizations (following some of Povinelli’s frameworks) see and act on producing an otherwise in this moment?Bio (bodies)What are the bodily effects of late liberalism? How are these affects varied by class, race, gender, sexuality, etc.? What bodies have been included in the liberal project? What bodies have been abstracted?Micro (practices)What practices expose people or protect them from the risks and harms associated with late liberalism? What are the sociohistorical trajectories of these exposures?Nano (language, subjectivity)What cultural frames enable or deflect recognition of late liberalism, and associated risks, vulnerabilities, and governance challenges? What are the discourses that produce and maintain the liberal subject?Edxo (education and expertise)What expertise and education shape how late liberalism is understood and addressed? What expertise is needed to counter or undermine these claims?Data and Techno(data infrastructures)What data, infrastructure, analytic and visualization capabilities account for and animate our understandings of late liberalism? What data infrastructures and capacities are needed to counter or undermine these dominant understandings?Eco-Atmo (ecology, climate)What landscape and ecological features shape late liberalism and associated exposures, vulnerabilities, and risks? How is climate change exacerbating the risks and harms of late liberalism?Geo (earth systems)What geological formations, contaminations, resources, and scarcities inform and ground our understanding of late liberalism?
