Descrição:

The rise and growth of global surveillance (Feb 19-22)

a. Surveillance as a phenomenon has ancient roots but the modern forms may be traced back to modern European socio-political responses to medieval notions of the “eye of God” that permeated law and society.

b. Change accelerated with mechanization in the C19th and bureaucratization from the early C20th. Extreme forms of state surveillance occurred in communist and national socialism settings in Europe, followed by contexts where authoritarian dictatorships emerged, especially in Central and Latin America.

c. Technological change, especially computerization, was significant in the post-WWII period, starting in military intelligence but quickly extending to government departments and consumer settings, first in the US and Europe, then globally.

d. Surveillance has expanded exponentially in the past 40 years, due to changes in political economy (neoliberalism), technology (digital developments) and society (consumerism and risk). 40 years ago, the visible symbol of surveillance was CCTV cameras; today it is the smartphone.

The key challenges of surveillance for today (Feb26-Mar1)

a. Surveillance capitalism as a key challenge (starting in the USA but spreading globally); the growth of the internet and the emergence of platform corporations. New cultures of surveillance emerge, including digital citizenship.

b. Surveillance in the world’s largest economies (China and India), in colonial and post-colonial situations (Latin America, Middle-East, Africa, SE Asia). Common characteristics and differential development produce varied modes of co-optation and contest.

c. Contemporary challenges including AI, algorithms and dataism and especially their impact on most vulnerable groups in terms of class, race and gender. Early critiques still apply; current queries also have popular resonance among younger generations and affected minorities.

d. The challenge of developing radically divergent human-centred systems, inspired by demands of justice, freedom, peace, and earth-care. The downsides of much surveillance are clear to many; mobilizing alternatives is vital but largely uncoordinated (cf environmental concerns).
