Opening the Black Box (eBook, ePUB)

The Work of Watching

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Opening the Black Box is specifically concerned with both advancing sociological understandings of contemporary urban governance and the practice of mediated watching. The book critically considers the everyday experiences of surveillance workers (i.e. CCTV operators) and their role in defining and ordering reality, before exploring how reflections of reality impact upon such labourers' perceptions of the world.

Autorenporträt

Gavin J.D. Smith is a Senior Lecturer in Sociology at the Australian National University. He is the author of many reviews, book chapters, journal articles and media reports on the social impacts and implications of surveillance diffusion. His current research explicates the dynamic interplay between systems and subjects of surveillance, particularly the interpretive meanings people attribute to their visibility and the labour they invest in managing their ascribed `data-body'.
