Abstract

The spread of Big Data involves a transformation in the use and meaning of data for sciences and for society as a whole, and in particular for social sciences and humanities. Referring to a theory of society and to performativity studies, the paper shows how the problem of assessing the impact of infrastructures in different areas of society is changing, and specifically how the forms and methods of prediction are changing. Assessment tends to be understood as a learning tool.
