Bowker and Susan Leigh Star explore the role of categories and standards in shaping the modern world. They investigate a variety of classification systems, including the International Classification of Diseases, the Nursing Interventions Classification, race classification under apartheid in South Africa, and the classification of viruses and of tuberculosis. The authors emphasize the role of invisibility in the process by which classification orders human interaction. They examine how categories are made and kept invisible, and how people can change this invisibility when necessary. They also explore systems of classification as part of the built information environment. Sorting Things Out has a moral agenda, for each standard and category valorizes some point of view and silences another. Standards and classifications produce advantage or suffering. Jobs are made and lost; some regions benefit at the expense of others. How these choices are made and how we think about that process are at the moral and political core of this work."--Jacket. 001385742 588__ $$aOCLC-licensed vendor bibliographic record. 001385742 650_0 $$aKnowledge, Sociology of. 001385742 650_0 $$aClassification. 001385742 655_0 $$aElectronic books 001385742 7001_ $$aStar, Susan Leigh,$$d1954-2010. 001385742 852__ $$bebk 001385742 85640 $$3MIT Press$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://doi.org/10.7551/mitpress/6352.001.0001?locatt=mode:legacy$$zOnline Access through The MIT Press Direct 001385742 85642 $$3OCLC metadata license agreement$$uhttp://www.oclc.org/content/dam/oclc/forms/terms/vbrl-201703.pdf 001385742 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1385742$$pGLOBAL_SET 001385742 980__ $$aBIB 001385742 980__ $$aEBOOK 001385742 982__ $$aEbook 001385742 983__ $$aOnline
