But surveillance is not only 'done to us' – it is something we do in everyday life. We submit to surveillance, believing we have nothing to hide. Or we try to protect our privacy or negotiate the terms under which others have access to our data. At the same time, we participate in surveillance in order to supervise children, monitor other road users, and safeguard our property. Social media allow us to keep tabs on others, as well as on ourselves. This is the culture of surveillance. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis important book explores the imaginaries and practices of everyday surveillance. Its main focus is not high-tech, organized surveillance operations but our varied, mundane experiences of surveillance that range from the casual and careless to the focused and intentional. It insists that it is time to stop using Orwellian metaphors and find ones suited to twenty-first-century surveillance — from 'The Circle' or 'Black Mirror.' \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSurveillance culture, David Lyon argues, is not detached from the surveillance state, society and economy. It is informed by them. He reveals how the culture of surveillance may help to domesticate and naturalize surveillance of unwelcome kinds, and considers which kinds of surveillance might be fostered for the common good and human flourishing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eIntroduction : Surveillance Culture Takes Shape 1 \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart I: Culture in Context 27\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 Crucibles of Culture 29\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart II: Cultural Currents 55\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2 From Convenience to Compliance 57\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3 From Novelty to Normalization 84\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4 From Online to Onlife 113\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart III: Co-creation: Culture, Ethics, Politics 147\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5 Total Transparency 149\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6 Hidden Hope 173\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNotes 198\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSelect Bibliography 225\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex 231\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Society \u0026amp; culture: general [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Society \u0026amp; culture: general\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Society%20\u0026amp;%20culture:%20general%20%5BJF%5D%22\"\u003eJF\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":52453434392856,"sku":"9780745671734","price":16.29,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780745671734.jpg?v=1785284403","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-culture-of-surveillance-watching-as-a-way-of-life-paperback-softback-9780745671734","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
