1. Foucault Issue a success!

Our Foucault and Panoticism Revisisted Issue
http://www.surveillance-and-society.org/journalv1i3.htm has been the
best received so far with positive comments all round and hits on the
site now exceeding 20,000 for our first three issues.


2. Mobilities Issue Out Soon.

The next Issue (and last of this volume), Surveillance and Mobilities,
has been delayed for various reasons which the Issue Editors , Colin
Bennett and Pris Regan, have been working hard to sort out. It should be
out by the end of the year. Looks like another good one!


3. Final Call for Papers - Issue 2(1)

The delays to the Mobilities Issue have meant that we have been able to
extend our deadline for the first issue of Volume 2. This will be a
general issue with no specific theme - as long as it's about
surveillance of course! The deadline will be Friday, December 19th,
2003. Can authors who have submitted papers already please note that we
will not be sending papers out for review for this issue until the
beginning of December.


4. Surveillance & Society Conference & Issue 2(2)

Surveillance & Society is having its first ever conference - 'CCTV and
Social Control. The politics and practice of videosurveillance: European
and Global perspectives'. This will be held in conjucntion with the
Centre For Criminological Research at the University of Sheffield from
8th-9th January, 2004. The website is at:
http://www.sheffield.ac.uk/ccr/publicity/conference/index.html
It will feature papers from over 50 top surveillance studies researchers
and promises to be very exciting. Selected papers from this conference
will form Issue 2(2) of Surveillance & Society, and probably an edited
book as well.


5. Preliminary Announcement: Call for Papers - Issue 2(3)

Issue 2(3) will be have the theme of 'People Watching People' - this
could include consideration of non-technologically mediated forms of
surveillance, surveillance before modern technologies, the behaviour of
both human watchers and the watched, and also personal forms of
surveillance including 'human intelligence', tailing, voyeurism and
stalking etc. A full call will be posted soon. The deadline for
submissions is 30th June  2004.


6. History of Surveillance Book Proposal

The Editors of Surveillance & Society will shortly be putting out a call
for authors for a book proposal entitled 'A History of Surveillance in
the Industrialised World'  - this will map the development of
surveillance from multiple thematic angles. Look out for this on the
website from December 1st, 2003, or go direct to
www.surveillance-and-society.org/book.htm after that date.


All the best,

David.
