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:
