>What are the temporalities of contemporary surveillance? How do social
>practices of surveillance bring together questions of past, present and
>future and how do such temporalities compare with the social histories
>of surveillance? These questions will be the focus of this second
>seminar in the Everyday Life of Surveillance series. This theme will
>explore the political and social implications of a shift towards
>predictive, anticipatory and pre-emptive surveillance, including
>simulation, memory and our conceptions of the future.
