Surveillance, Social Sorting and the Reproduction of Inequality

Wednesday, July 16, 2014: 8:30 AM-10:20 AM
Room: Booth 43
RC14 Sociology of Communication, Knowledge and Culture (host committee)

Language: English

Surveillance, seen as systematic attention to personal details for management purposes, reinforces social divisions through both government and commercial practices. While government uses risk management knowledge to seek security, corporations use opportunity management knowledge to create consumers. In each case, social and other inequalities tend to be reproduced. Papers are welcomed on surveillance in relation to the congress theme in RC14: "Culture and Communication in Today’s Unequal World."
