Drawing upon archival theory and critical approaches to the political economy of the Internet, I account for new dynamics and implications afforded by digital archives. Operating at both a user-controlled explicit and a state- and corporate-owned implicit level, the digital archive at once facilitates empowerment and enables unprecedented forms of management and control. Connecting the politics and economy of digital media with issues of identity formation and curation on social networking sites, I coin the terms iArchive and predictive retention to highlight how recent technological advances both provide new means for self-expression, mobilization and resistance and afford an almost ubiquitous tracking, profiling and, indeed, moulding of emergent subjectivities. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/1461444817748483","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,12,26]],"date-time":"2017-12-26T23:33:09Z","timestamp":1514331189000},"page":"3304-3322","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":17,"title":["Archives and identity in the context of social media and algorithmic analytics: Towards an understanding of iArchive and predictive retention"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"20","author":[{"given":"Holger","family":"P\u00f6tzsch","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Troms\u00f8, Norway"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,12,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-1461444817748483","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1353\/book.119494"},{"key":"bibr2-1461444817748483","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4324\/9780203075319"},{"key":"bibr3-1461444817748483","first-page":"1","volume-title":"The Wikileaks Files: The World According to US Empire","author":"Assange J","year":"2015"},{"key":"bibr4-1461444817748483","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1461444815606616"},{"key":"bibr5-1461444817748483","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/2057047316683200"},{"key":"bibr6-1461444817748483","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1461444815621527"},{"key":"bibr7-1461444817748483","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/1369118X.2012.678878"},{"key":"bibr8-1461444817748483","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1461444812440159"},{"key":"bibr9-1461444817748483","first-page":"215","volume":"61","author":"Carter RGS","year":"2006","journal-title":"Archivaria"},{"key":"bibr10-1461444817748483","volume-title":"Communication Power","author":"Castells M","year":"2009"},{"key":"bibr11-1461444817748483","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0263276411424420"},{"key":"bibr12-1461444817748483","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.18574\/nyu\/9781479888702.001.0001"},{"key":"bibr13-1461444817748483","volume-title":"Control and Freedom: Power and Paranoia in the Age of Fibre Optics","author":"Chun WHK","year":"2006"},{"key":"bibr14-1461444817748483","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1532708616655760"},{"key":"bibr15-1461444817748483","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s10502-012-9180-7"},{"key":"bibr16-1461444817748483","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1215\/9780822392996-001"},{"key":"bibr17-1461444817748483","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0162243915579283"},{"key":"bibr18-1461444817748483","first-page":"3","volume":"59","author":"Deleuze G","year":"1992","journal-title":"October"},{"key":"bibr19-1461444817748483","volume-title":"Archive Fever: A Freudian Impression","author":"Derrida J","year":"1995"},{"key":"bibr20-1461444817748483","volume-title":"Data as Capta","author":"Drucker J","year":"2010"},{"key":"bibr21-1461444817748483","volume-title":"Im Namen Von Geschichte: Sammeln-speichern-erz\u00e4hlen","author":"Ernst W","year":"2003"},{"key":"bibr22-1461444817748483","volume-title":"Das Gesetz Des Ged\u00e4chtnisses: Speichermedien Als \u00dcbertrag Des 20.
