Abstract
The increasing use of digital technologies is often described as a revolution. In this session, we will challenge this assumption by exploring how digital technologies, and in particular algorithmic governance techniques, under the guise of scientificity, objectivity and neutrality, stabilize or even exacerbate the oppression of historically vulnerable communities. We'll be highlighting the different roles played by law in this equation, sometimes as a tool of legitimization and standardization, sometimes as a means of contesting these technological modes of governing bodies and behaviors. We shall see that these assemblages of " techno-juridical " governance, on the one hand, and resistance, on the other, far from acting in new ways, reaffirm the modern reign of the visible.
