SSN 2014: Surveillance Ambiguities & Assymetries

CALL FOR REGISTRATION OF INTEREST AND ABSTRACTS

Contemporary surveillance is characterised by 
ambiguities and asymmetries. Surveillance results 
from different desires and rationales: control, 
governance, security, profit, efficiency but also 
care, empowerment, resistance, and play. 
Furthermore it can have both positive and 
negative outcomes for individuals and these may 
lead to  intended or unintended consequences. 
Surveillance is never neutral.  Surveillance is 
always about power and that power is increasingly 
asymmetric. Surveillance practices are also 
changing and as 'smart' surveillance systems 
proliferate utilising and generating 'Big Data' 
new forms of ambiguity and asymmetry arise. In 
this context the conference wishes to explore the 
following key themes:
