Abstract:
This talk will explore the role of human agency in data-intensive surveillance and contribute to the understanding of present and future digitally saturated societies. Emphasis on human agency in surveillance operations has the potential to uncover the way technologies are contingent on the participation and socio-cultural contexts of users, and how degrees of agency can be restricted or achieved in the use, design, development and regulation of these technologies.
