Book review: Data practices: making up a European people by Evelyn Ruppert and Stephan Scheel
No full textIn Data Practices: Making Up a European People – available open access – Evelyn Ruppert and Stephan Scheel explore how statisticians and policymakers use statistical methods and data practices to ‘enact’ or ‘make up’ their data subjects: in this case, the people of Europe. The book’s detailed case studies and thoughtful consideration of quantitative data production from the perspective of the data subject have earned it pride of place on the bookshelf of reviewer Mariel McKone Leonard.

Peopling Europe through Data Practices: Introduction to the Special Issue
No full textPolitically, Europe has been unable to address itself to a constituted polity and people as more than an agglomeration of nation-states. From the resurgence of nationalisms to the crisis of the single currency and the unprecedented decision of a member state to leave the European Union (EU), core questions about the future of Europe have been rearticulated: Who are the people of Europe? Is there a European identity? What does it mean to say, “I am European?” Where does Europe begin and end? and Who can legitimately claim to be a part of a “European” people? The special issue (SI) seeks to contest dominant framings of the question “Who are the people of Europe?” as only a matter of government policies, electoral campaigns, or parliamentary debates. Instead, the contributions start from the assumption that answers to this question exist in data practices where people are addressed, framed, known, and governed as European. The central argument of this SI is that it is through data practices that the EU seeks to simultaneously constitute its population as a knowable, governable entity, and as a distinct form of peoplehood where common personhood is more important than differences

Skin-friction field in turbulent convection
No full textThe dynamics of the boundary layers of temperature and velocity are the key to deeper understanding of turbulent transport of heat and momentum in thermal convection. Here, the structure of the skin friction field at the bottom and top plates of a Rayleigh-B\'{e}nard convection setup is investigated. We therefore analyze data obtained in direct numerical simulations of Rayleigh-B\'{e}nard convection in a cylindrical cell of aspect ratio . Our analysis is focused to critical points of the two-dimensional skin friction field at the walls. We analyze the statistics of the critical points and relate them to the thermal plumes which detach from the wall and move up into bulk
