DESCRIPTION:Moira Weigel (Northwestern University\, Data &amp\; Society) In
  this talk I will share new empirical findings and conceptual frameworks f
 rom an ongoing qualitative study of Amazon’s third-party marketplace. My s
 tudy is grounded in semi-structured interviews conducted in English and Ma
 ndarin with third-party merchants who use Amazon’s services to sell goods 
 to customers in the United States\; the merchants themselves are located i
 n the US and Canada\, China\, Hong Kong\, and Singapore (n = 46). Drawing 
 on their accounts\, I will first offer a broad overview of Amazon’s retail
  platform. Then\, I will develop the concepts of “refractive governance” a
 nd “regulatory risk shift.” The first concerns how Amazon “tracks things t
 o train people.” The second describes how the automated systems that Amazo
 n uses to self-regulate produce new kinds of computer-mediated risk and pu
 sh them outward.
