Routledge Handbook of Surveillance Studies

Routledge International Handbooks

by Kirstie Ball (Editor), David Lyon (Editor), Kevin D. Haggerty (Editor)

Surveillance is a central organizing practice. Gathering personal data and processing them in searchable databases drives administrative efficiency but also raises questions about security, governance, civil liberties and privacy. Surveillance is both globalized in cooperative schemes, such as sharing biometric data, and localized in the daily minutiae of social life. This innovative Handbook explores the empirical, theoretical and ethical issues around surveillance and its use in daily life. With a collection of over forty essays from the leading names in surveillance studies, the Handbook takes a truly multi-disciplinary approach to critically question issues The Routledge Handbook of Surveillance Studies is an international, accessible, definitive and comprehensive overview of the rapidly growing multi-disciplinary field of surveillance studies. The Handbook ’s direct, authoritative style will appeal to a wide range of scholars and students in the social sciences, arts and humanities.

Regulating Surveillance !!

We are actually addicted to surveillance we are servants to the Surveillance technologies Starting from street Cameras to our activity on the internet and the Data tracked through our everyday activities on social media or our shared activities through third part who pays to get your information

No Solution the only solutions is to keep it going

[Silvia Zuleta Romano]

Este es un libro de consulta de referencia en temas de privacidad y vigilancia. Puede resultar un poco tendencioso en el tratamiento de ciertos temas pero, sin dudas, todos los que escriben son expertos en el tema y merecen ser leídos.
Lectura comprensible y amena.
