Call for Papers:Surveillance and Empowerment Special Issue of Surveillance & Society: Issue 8(3)Guest editors: Torin Monahan, David Murakami Wood, and David J. PhillipsPublication date: end of October 2010Deadline for submissions: March 31st 2010 This issue of Surveillance & Society is seeking papers and other submissions that examine the social implications of contemporary surveillance with a particular interest in the complexities of empowerment. In the surveillance studies literature, there have been significant contributions unsocial sorting, digital discrimination, privacy invasion, racial profiling, sexual harassment, and other mechanisms of unequal treatment. In contradistinction, this issue seeks to explore the potential of surveillance for individual autonomy and dignity, fairness and due process, community cooperation and empowerment, and social equality. Key to this inquiry will be questioning the extent to which surveillance can be designed, employed, and regulated to contribute to democratic practices and/or the social good. The very framing of the issue in terms of “surveillance and empowerment” begs the question of empowerment for whom and for what purposes. Thus, we invite critical attention to the ways in which surveillance practices may unfairly embody advantages for some groups over others and to explore alternatives. Possible research areas might include (but are not limited to): Surveillance and human securitySurveillance and well-being / flourishingSurveillance for safetyEthical surveillance infrastructures and systems, e.g. ubiquitous computing environments that provide care for the vulnerable, dependent and elderlySurveillance for sustainability, environmental management and environmental justice Surveillance of energy and resource consumptionSocial networking tools employed by social movementsSurveillance of corporations, government agencies, or political parties by watchdog groups Policies for ensuring privacy, accountability, and transparency with video or other surveillance systemsSurveillance in post-authoritarian societies – toward restrictions and counters to the unleashed surveillance of former regimesWe welcome full academic papers, opinion pieces, review pieces, poetry, artistic, and audio-visual submissions.
