Karoline Krenn (2019)Economic Sociology – European  Electronic Newsletter, 21(1), pp. 43-53.  Excerpt. "Calculative  practices must drop information to make cases comparable and to fit  them into categories. Here de-contextualizing means ignoring unique or  relational characteristics. At the same  time, the categories become essentialized. It is overlooked that  classifications are dependent on the blurring of heterogeneity and on  the enforcing of differences (Boltanski and Thévenot 1983, Zeruvabel  1991, 1996, Bowker and Star 2000), and that they make  invisible the interventional character of measurement they depend on  (Thévenot 1984, 2009, Porter 1995, Diaz-Bone and Didier 2016)."  p. 48Download link
