InVisibilities: The politics, practice and experience of surveillance in 
everyday life

*A two-day international conference hosted by*

*The Centre For Criminological Research, **University of Sheffield**, 
**UK***

*in association with*

*The Surveillance Studies Network*

*/www.surveillance-studies.net/*

* *

*Wednesday 2^nd April - **Thursday 3^rd April 2008***

* *

*/ /*

While many of the world’s nations are becoming surveillance societies, 
the nature of life with surveillance in those societies is far from 
homogeneous, and is not widely researched or theorised. This conference 
focuses on the lived realities of surveillance and is keen to encourage 
empirical studies which document its everyday experience.

By its very nature surveillance makes populations visible, and 
differentiates between their members; surveillance itself features 
varied techniques, intensities and foci. Whether as workers, consumers, 
children, patients, criminals, web surfers or travellers we are made 
visible in different ways, through different technologies and 
administrative regimes. Visibility is not always total, unproductive or 
oppressive – visibility is necessarily partial. For some it is actively 
embraced: lives are lived in visibility.

Nevertheless, widespread ambivalence towards surveillance has been noted 
in academic, policy and media circles. As surveillance confers benefits 
and incurs costs on individuals, personal information economies of 
surveillance emerge. In building personal strategies which involve 
surveillance practices, invisibilities are negotiated to mediate, limit 
and exploit exposure to surveillance. How individuals, groups, 
organizations and societies negotiate, experience, resist, comply with, 
and enjoy surveillance are critical empirical questions, which appeal to 
surveillance scholars from a wide range of social science disciplines.
