Seeing surveillance: twenty years of surveillance & society

Abstract

This paper reflects on the development of surveillance studies over the twenty years since the first publication of Surveillance & Society. It starts by pointing to key contextual changes that have provided fertile ground for surveillance-focused analysis and, in turn, shaped the emphasis of the field. The main body of the paper is organised over three (temporal) frames: origins of the field, present considerations, and future concerns. In doing so, attention is given to the reproduction, development, and innovation of intellectual knowledge in the context of surveillance studies.
