From London and New York to New Delhi, Shanghai and Rio de Janeiro, video cameras are a familiar and accepted sight in public places. Air travel now commonly involves devices such as body-scanners and biometric checks that have proliferated in the wake of 9\/11. And every day Google and credit-card issuers note the details of our habits, concerns and preferences, quietly prompting customized marketing strategies with our active, all too often zealous cooperation.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn today’s liquid modern world, the paths of daily life are mobile and flexible. Crossing national borders is a commonplace activity and immersion in social media increasingly ubiquitous. Today’s citizens, workers, consumers and travellers are always on the move but often lacking certainty and lasting bonds. But in this world where spaces may not be fixed and time is boundless, our perpetual motion does not go unnoticed. Surveillance spreads in hitherto unimaginable ways, responding to and reproducing the slippery nature of modern life, seeping into areas where it once had only marginal sway.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn this book the surveillance analysis of David Lyon meets the liquid modern world so insightfully dissected by Zygmunt Bauman.  Is a dismal future of moment-by-moment monitoring closing in, or are there still spaces of freedom and hope? How do we realize our responsibility for the human beings before us, often lost in discussions of data and categorization? Dealing with questions of power, technology and morality, this book is a brilliant analysis of what it means to be watched – and watching – today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface and acknowledgements vi\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDavid Lyon\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 Drones and social media 18\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2 Liquid surveillance as post- panoptic 52\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3 Remoteness, distancing and automation 76\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4 In\/security and surveillance 100\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5 Consumerism, new media and social sorting 121\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6 Probing surveillance ethically 132\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7 Agency and hope 142\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNotes 159\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex 172\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Sociology \u0026amp; anthropology [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Sociology \u0026amp; anthropology\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Sociology%20\u0026amp;%20anthropology%20%5BJH%5D%22\"\u003eJH\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Polity","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52458368401688,"sku":"9780745662831","price":15.55,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780745662831.jpg?v=1785371759","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/liquid-surveillance-a-conversation-paperback-softback-9780745662831","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
