Digital (mis)trust: ethnographic encounters with computational forms.

This special issue is driven by a curiosity about the role of computational forms - practices, logics, technologies, and infrastructures - in social life and how they mediate issues of trust and mistrust: designated . Through a series of ethnographic encounters, its contributors describe how (mis)trust is rendered as an issue of concern by various actors as it is problematized, conceptualized, narrated, and designed for. In doing so, the papers analyse the work (mis)trust does in these settings, with a focus on the role of computational thinking within public discourses on democratic elections, the use of computational technologies in establishing bureaucratic order, the computational practices at play in the production of coding subjectivities, and the computational artefacts that assure data circulations within digital infrastructures.
