Overviews of Surveillance Studies (due 3. September)
Overviews of Surveillance Studies (due 3. September)
For Thursday's meeting, please read the following:
+David Lyon, Surveillance Studies: an Overview, ONLY
-"Defining Surveillance," 13-16, "Roots of surveillance" 46-50," OPTIONAL: "Modern and Postmodern surveillance theories," 50-56
+Monahan and Wood, "Surveillance Studies as Transdisciplinary Endeavor" ONLY
-History of Surveillance and Surveillance Studies, xxi - xxiv; Conclusion, xxxi - xxxii
These texts will introduce a number of names of thinkers we will explore later in the semester, but for now, please focus on what surveillance means and what shapes it and surveillance studies as a field.
1) Based on the overviews and history of surveillance theories, which domains of life have been the greatest contributors to "surveillance studies" and surveillance as a contemporary practice? Are there any areas that you feel are overlooked or other domains of life or studies where surveillance is particularly applicable?
2) Your reaction to the texts and the overviews they provided!
