N2 - Critique becomes risky when it is implicit. In a historical perspective andfollowing the etymological roots, the paper conceptualizes different modes of critiqueand makes their epistemological foundations explicit. The idea of a critique of datawas for the first time presented by Agentur Bilwet and Frank Hartmann in the1990s. Following these traces, the article explores how Michel Foucaults genealogicalmodel of critique can be applied to the objects of data-critique. Consequently, it askshow critique itself can be accomplished by data, how we can judge on the given, andfinally, what all this means for media studies.
