Theoretical approaches concerning the "**death of data**" were a tutorial topic in the BA DS course "Making Your Own Online Presence". On the one hand, "death of data" relates to data loss or deletion motivated by infrastructural change, political decisions, or individual users' "**right to be forgotten**" (Fichtelman, 2018). On the other hand, "death of data" is a concept in positivist versus poststructuralist debates on what data are in the first place and who has the power or the right to create them. In these debates, researchers discuss whether the existence of data depends on specific infrastructures or a theory that “acknowledges them as data” ([St. Pierre & Adams](https://journals-sagepub-com.mu.idm.oclc.org/doi/10.1177/1532708613487882#bibr25-1532708613487882), 2011, p. 621).

Different authors have shaped **feminist theory** as a research approach, often in conjunction with the **five waves** of cultural and political feminism. A recent strand of feminist theory which pays particular attention to power relations and biases in the digital age is [data feminism](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_Feminism). Feminist theory not only concerns women's societal roles but also considers [intersectionality](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intersectionality) and challenges hierarchies and inequalities more generally.

The BA DS course "Making Knowledge and Manufacturing Doubt" discussed **theories of knowledge**. This course addressed knowledge practices, knowledge dissemination and utilisation, and **post-truth**. **Agnotology** is a field of research that examines the cultural creation and maintenance of knowledge, ignorance and doubt. Crucial authors of the sociology of knowledge are Peter Buke and Robert King Merton.

**Smart cities** were addressed in several BA DS courses, including "Digitalisation and Politics". The digital transformation of **cities** is a challenge in terms of infrastructure, policy, and ethics. Academic studies, therefore, analyse city ecosystems and suggest solutions for this transformation.

**Utopias** related to digital transformations were discussed in the BA DS courses "Artificial Society", "The Good Life", and "Digital Cultures". Utopias, in general, imagine positive, perfected places or conditions. **Digital utopianism** is also referred to as **cyber-utopianism**, **web-utopianism**, **digital utopianism** or the concept of a **utopian internet**. This form of **technological utopianism** rose in the 1990s and imagines a collaborative, inclusive, libertarian and democratic world based on the Internet. This positive interpretation of the digital negates cold-war fears of "**mechanical conformity**" and the "**military-industrial complex**" (Turner, 2006).
