NEWS Over the recent decades, the possibilities to surveil people have increased. But various forms of online surveillance saturate most people’s lives – meanwhile we are increasingly living in digital environments.
To understand this new situation and nuance the discussion about surveillance, authors from different disciplines have contributed to an anthology that discusses cultural and ethical perspectives in people's attitudes, motives and behaviors. The anthology highlights the complexity of contemporary surveillance and problematises power relations between the many actors involved in developing and executing a surveillance culture.
The book is an outcome of the research project iAccept: Soft surveillance – between acceptance and resistance, financed by the Marcus and Amalia Wallenberg Foundation. The anthology’s editors are project members.
