Abstract:

In the twenty-first century that we are living, most of the contemporary metropolises are under constant visual electronic surveillance under the name of security and public safety. Istanbul as being one of the big cities has joined this surveilled metropolises
its streets and public spaces are under constant watch by the invisible watchers behind the MOBESE cameras. The way that the system works on how to impose power on the citizens with the constant observation has it roots in the design principle of Panopticon that Jeremy Bentham created long time ago. Today, Bentham&rsquo
s eighteenth century design Panopticon has dispersed and merged into the urban scale and replaced by these surveillance cameras. The observation tower and the guardian in panopticon have transformed into the main control room and the cameras. Citizens in Istanbul are under a panoptic power of surveillance. Ordinary citizen is being watched by the invisible guardians behind the cameras. The ones behind the cameras constantly see everything, but never seen by the citizens. This thesis attempts to discuss this assumption of Istanbul becoming an urban panopticon and its affects on the physical layout together with the social aspect of it in Istanbul. One of the main objectives is to investigate the consequences of this visual surveillance on the way that the public life and public spaces of Istanbul is affected.

Opondo Tradição e Modernidade vê-se a emergência, nesta última, da experiência da subjetividade. Mas o termo sujeito comporta dúplice acepção: uma conduz à ideia de sujeição; outra, à constituição da subjetividade. Sucederam-se no tempo diversas expressões do poder, diversas tecnologias governamentais e práticas jurídicas que visavam à sujeição dos indivíduos. As mais recentes dessas tecnologias, o poder disciplinar e o biopoder, cujas funções podem ser vistas em funcionamento pela vigilância que se exerce na internet e pelo tratamento do big data, para a extração de um saber dos indivíduos que reforça seu controle. Resta saber se uma multidão cada dia mais interligada em redes pode se constituir como sujeito capaz de mudar o mundo e a História, e fazê-lo por meio do Direito.
By opposing Tradition and Modernity we can see that, in the last one, emerges the experience of subjectivity. But the term subject has two possible meanings: one of them leads to the idea of subjection; the other, to the constitution of subjectivity. Through time, many expressions of power, government technologies and legal practices that intended to subject people, have come after one another. The most recent of those technologies are the disciplinary power and the biopower, whose functions one can see working on the surveillance that is exercised through internet and on big data processing, both ordered to extract knowledge from the people that reinforces their control. We still have to know if a multitude increasingly more connected in networks can constitute itself as a subject that can change the world and the history, and do it through Law.

Abstract:

The military's armed surveillance drones are the most elite modernized weaponry in the twenty-first century. They have introduced a new way to see without being seen. In this paper, I investigate the US military's use of drones in warfare, specifically in terms of distance and what that entails for the operator physically, mentally, and emotionally. My analysis will address the question: how are remotely piloted aircrafts connecting distance and humanity in asymmetric warfare? I argue that drones are unlike any other weapon produced thus far because they introduce a completely new way to fight wars at a distance; therefore, a new understanding of humanity and warfare needs to be established. Warfare by remote control in a post-panoptic society has ended the era of mutual engagement and created one of extensive asymmetry. This thesis also examines the militaries historical motives for pursuing weapons that make the enemy into an objective target below. The data that I use to explore these implications is second-hand anecdotes and interviews of former RPA operators, and various media accounts. Based on this data, I find that drones have made it more difficult to kill a target due to the added surveillance technology that allows the operator to see the effects of his or her weapon in real time. This visualization then has the effect of creating intimacy/reducing emotional distance between the operator and the target.

Full text

Abstract:

Jacques Toumeur's 1942 film Cat People reflects patriarchal America's anxieties regarding the workplace inversion of gender roles during World War II. However, since the film was released in the middle of the war, it could not quite discourage women from assuming jobs; after all, working women were vital to maintaining the economy. In this paper, I uncover the complicated and previously overlooked relationships between gendered wartime discourse and Cat People, revealing how the film puts forth an ideological imperative in an attempt to "discipline" the women of its historical moment. Using the works of René Girard, Lucia Folena, Teresa de Lauretis, and Michel Foucault, I argue that Cat People - besides working to ensure the cultural resonance of male dominance during a time when it was seemingly under attack - rehearses an important process by which patriarchal society often explains cultural collapse: the scapegoating of female sexuality.

Abstract:

The main aim with this essay is to look how Dorothy Parker portrays women who drink. My main focus is at Dorothy Parker’s story “Big Blonde” but also her stories, “Dialogue at Three in the Morning”, “A Terrible Day Tomorrow”, “Just a Little One” and “A Woman in Green Lace”. Inspired by Ellen Lansky, who points out that Panopticon and Panopticism can be applied on all-male institutions and men, my analysis proves that Foucault’s Panopticism can be used to describe masculine control of female drunkenness. Women behave in a certain way to please inspectors in the Panopticon. I this essay I argue that there are two types of drinking women in Parker’s stories. The “modern” and the “controlled” woman, who both are forced to submission by Panopticism.

Abstract:

Between 1786 and 1791 Jeremy Bentham conceived and complete the drafting of the Panopticon. It is a proposal of prison's reform to which he will work for twenty years, both introducing changes and clarifications to the original text, and trying to give it concrete implementation. Despite the intellectual and economic efforts made by the philosopher for the construction of the prison, and although it is one of the few texts he published, the Panopticon was mostly overlooked by critics and, among those who have dealt with it, there were who have considered it as a theoretical exercise, and many were those who have reduced it to a utopian model and, most often, as an inhuman tool, and tracked in it an example of dystopia. A crucial role in this regard has played the reading proposed by Foucault in Surveiller et punir (1975) in which the Panopticon is presented as the paradigm of society conceived by Bentham, a society dominated by a disciplinary power. These interpretations are the result of a misunderstanding of the Bentham's work produced by its contextualization both as compared to the historical period and the particular socio-economic conditions in which it was conceived, and as to a greater and more decisive consequences with respect to the philosophical system of which it flows. The Panopticon is proof positive of the reformatory spirit of its author and it is conceived by him as a powerful tool for the realization of the "artificial harmony" between individual interest and collective interest that is the basic problem of the English philosopher's whole political-legal project. Starting from the centrality that the criminal dimension occupies within the Bentham's philosophical and reformatory system and from the priority that security takes on among the purposes of government, my research aims to offer a new reading of the text, that without consider it like a paradigm of each proposal promoted by Jeremy Bentham, both ethical and more specifically political, recognize it as a key moment in the development of utilitarian philosopher's thought: the practical outcome of a comprehensive theoretical work, much stranger both utopian horizon, and despite the dominant control, the dystopian prospect.

Torabian, Juliette. "The quality panopticon in higher education : a comparative analysis of France & England." Thesis, University College London (University of London), 2018. http://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/10041871/.

Full text

Abstract:

This qualitative research study compares the local construction of ‘quality’ through national and institutional discourses and practices in France and England. It examines their impact on the daily practice of academics in the cases of Sciences Po Paris and London School of Economics. The study adopts a social constructivist epistemology, a multiple case study design, and uses a Foucauldian discourse analysis to interpret the data. The data is gathered through an analysis of policies, quality codes, and audit reports, as well as twenty qualitative semi-structured interviews with officials in quality agencies, institutional managers, and academics. Many analyses of quality assurance systems in higher education have likened them to Foucault’s metaphorical ‘panopticon’; the conceptual framework of this study initially uses the concept of panopticon and modifies it by integrating Clark’s (1983) triangle of coordination and Ball’s (1994) policy cycle. The findings reveal that the State plays an important steering role: in France through project-based funding and in England by setting and updating quality norms. In England, a focus on students’ satisfaction (which in reality is a manufactured concern) has led to discourses focussing on ‘value for money’ and ‘excellence’ and has created a shared quality culture across Higher education institutions. This facilitates academics’ practice, particularly for the newly recruited contractual lecturers. In France, quality is taken as a static condition associated with the prestige and selective admission processes of the grandes écoles. This, in addition to the binary divide between universities and the grandes écoles and longstanding bureaucratic rigidities, has inhibited the creation and implementation of a shared quality culture. This has an especially negative impact on contractual teachers’ practice while permanent academics are hired and perform based on national frameworks. This research is of significance as it, a) examines quality policies and practices in France which is an understudied topic; b) provides a comparative analysis of socio-historical events and State policies as well as elite institutions’ practices that have shaped the local definition of quality in higher education in England and France; c)critiques Foucault’s panopticon in light of the current developments in higher education quality governance, its multiple interest groups, and their power relations; and, d) argues that quality systems may have an empowering impacts on academics.

Abstract:

Since the introduction of online HTTP-cookies, the technology has been widely discussed, both in terms of its actual function, as well as what it can do to users’ behaviors on the Internet. Cookies are small unique text files found within websites on the Internet that can collect and store personal information in order to enhance the users’ experience, as well as to provide the website with essential information about the user. By a literature review that was conducted on the subject, an unawareness among Internet users of how websites use cookies was found. Most users do not know what kind of information a cookie can store and how their privacy today can be violated. With this in mind, we conducted a internet based survey and a focus group interview to study journalism students and media and communication students knowledge about websites usage of cookies and furthermore, how the students opine the technology. This, since they are expected to have a higher knowledge than the general student about the subject since they are studying to assumably work within branches where they may have important parts regarding ICT in the future. By applying Michel Foucault theory Panopticon, Jürgen Habermas The Public Sphere and Sandra Petronio’s Communication Privacy Management Theory to the result of the study, we could see that there is a general unawareness among the students about what kind of information a cookie can collect. Also, the students express negative opinions regarding this harvesting of information, yet little effort is made to obstruct or deny web sites’ use of cookies.

Abstract:

Underpinned by a Foucauldian analysis, this research explores how key personnel at competitive youth swimming clubs at different levels of the elite-development ladder interpret and realise good practice. Adopting an ethnographic approach to three casestudy clubs in the North of England - an elite, a sub-elite and a 'low-level' club - it involves observations of thirteen coaches and one poolside helper, plus semistructured interviews with eleven coaches, one poolside helper and two Club Welfare Officers, who are charged with overseeing child welfare issues in their swimming clubs.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT A FOUCAULDIAN ANALYSIS OF NCLB: STUDENT DATA AS PANOPTIC SURVEILLANCE by Chris King The No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB; Public Law 107-110) reauthorizes and expands the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 to require large amounts of student data for the purpose of academic surveillance. This study investigates the historical and philosophical components of Jeremy Bentham’s Panopticon as a model of surveillance to identify similarities between panopticism and the rubric of collecting student data required by NCLB. All public school districts are evaluated annually for adequate yearly progress (AYP). Under the auspices of this evaluation, all students must be tested, and all results must be included in each district’s AYP calculation. All African American, Hispanic, White, economically disadvantaged, special education, and limited English proficient (LEP) students must meet the same performance and participation standards. States individually develop minimum size criteria for evaluation of student groups. High schools must meet a graduation rate standard set by the state. NCLB’s comprehensive data compilation and student tracking initiatives are consistent with previous federal education policies to conduct data surveillance on students and teachers. Similar to Jeremy Bentham’s 18th century Panopticon model of penal supervision and rehabilitation, NCLB is transforming the schoolhouse into a correction house by unveiling technologies of surveillance and power. By using Benthamian and Foucauldian philosophical analyses, this dissertation examines NCLB’s worldview of student data and tracking, specifically from student subgroups, and their effects of panoptic surveillance. This dissertation proceeds with a review of the historical context of Jeremy Bentham’s Panopticon and Michel Foucault’s panopticism. This study recognizes various American educational reform movements from 1776 to 2002 in identifying the following panoptic disciplines: constant surveillance, hierarchical observation and categorization, and panoptic power. It considers the NCLB doctrine of data collection for student and teacher tracking purposes and presents an anticolonial analysis of NCLB’s methods of compiling and tracking student subgroup data using the works of anticolonial scholars Frantz Fanon, Sylvia Wynter, and Carter Woodson. The dissertation concludes with a synthesis of the questions and the problems presented by NCLB and the implications of this analysis for students and teachers.

Abstract:

The Facebook - Cambridge Analytica scandal came to light in 2018 revealing the problematic surveillance practices, and violations of privacy the companies allowed. The EU has introduced a privacy legislation, GDPR, that came into effect in 2018 shortly after the scandal erupted. Privacy is a key problem with modern technologies, as companies are trying to gain all possible data on individuals. The purpose of this thesis is to explore the surveillance-privacy nexus in the EU. This thesis asked the research question of: How has surveillance, through emerging technologies, affected the EU's ability to protect the right to privacy? To analyse this research question, this thesis used case study and post-structuralist discourse analysis on the recordings of Alexander Nix, CEO of Cambridge Analytica, at a marking festival, and of Mark Zuckerberg at the European Parliament. To analyse the recordings, biopower and panopticon were used as core theoretical tools. Through utilization of the methods and the theoretical tools, the findings of this thesis point to the conclusion that the EU’s ability to protect privacy from surveillance practices was not affected by the modern surveillance technology, and therefore the protection against exploitation of privacy remains low.

Abstract:

The Tango Panopticon project merges art with technology to create a live and synchronous art experience which is just as much about the participants as it is about the observers. The goal of this project is to create a dialogue between observers of the event in the hopes of creating new social connections where there were none before. This goal is achieved by allowing observers to view the event from anywhere around the world on a computer via the internet and participate in a dialogue with other users on the website. The other objective of this project is to create a multimedia internet platform for other art projects to use. Other artists that are interested in hosting their own live synchronous event will be able to use the platform we have created and customize it to the specific needs of their project.

This dissertation is the result of a research on the relationship between power and knowledge, and among discipline, surveillance by the disciplinarian and vigilant society present in the idea of panoptism peculiar to contemporary society, pointed out by Michel Foucault, and the electronic form called Lattes CV (of CNPq National Council of Technological and Scientific Development) used for registering data concerning the academic output of researchers linked to higher education in Brazil. Based on studies related to Michel Foucault s concepts expounded in his works that deal with this subject, it is an attempt at understanding the main theoretical foundation with a view to establishing the similarities between such concepts and the electronic form, taken as a mechanism for the disciplining and control of academic research in the country. To this end, we make a historical survey of the beginnings of higher education in Brazil in order to explain the characteristics of this process which contributed to the development of control mechanisms such as the Lattes CV, which has become a national reference for the recording of research activities. We try to identify the characteristics of this technological device starting with a historical survey of its beginnings and of its reception on a national level. We also describe which characteristics approximate it to the Foucaultian theories by adopting the term Virtual Panopticon of contemporary society, and how this device affects the behavior of human subjects particularly in the arts area linked to higher education institutions. In order to ascertain such perceptions we resorted to field research, carrying out interviews with CNPq members and, on the other hand, with artists who are researchers from relevant universities, holding academic titles and teaching in undergraduate and graduate courses in the arts area. This investigation allowed us to understand the power relations represented by the device in the academic milieu as well as clarify the configuration of a productivity culture by means of pre-established questions which may, through a control device and serving specific interests, impose a conduct on professors and researchers to answer the demands of the Brazilian university institution scenery
Essa dissertação consistiu numa pesquisa acerca das relações de poder-saber, de disciplina e vigilância da sociedade disciplinar e sociedade vigilante presentes na idéia de panoptismo próprio da sociedade contemporânea apontados por Michel Foucault, e o formulário eletrônico Currículo Lattes, do CNPq, para o cadastro de dados relativos à produção acadêmica de pesquisadores vinculados ao Ensino Superior do Brasil. Procuramos apreender, a partir dos estudos correspondentes à conceituação de Michel Foucault, os principais pressupostos teóricos com a finalidade de estabelecer uma relação de semelhança entre tais conceitos e o formulário eletrônico entendido como um mecanismo de disciplina e controle das pesquisas acadêmicas do país. Assim, procedemos com um levantamento histórico acerca do surgimento do Ensino Superior no Brasil com a finalidade de apreender características deste processo que contribuíram para o surgimento de mecanismos de controle como o Currículo Lattes, tornado referência nacional para o registro de tais atividades. Buscamos identificar as características deste dispositivo tecnológico a partir de um panorama histórico de seu surgimento e de sua repercussão em âmbito nacional. Identificamos ainda quais características o assemelham às teorias foucaultianas adotando o termo Panopticon Virtual da contemporaneidade e como este dispositivo age nos comportamentos dos sujeitos humanos - em especial da área de Arte - vinculados a instituições de Ensino Superior. Para apreender tais percepções recorremos a pesquisa de campo, com a realização de entrevistas com membros ligados ao CNPq e, por outro lado, pesquisadores artistas de instituições de relevância em Arte no contexto acadêmico, com titulação em Arte, com atuação em cursos de graduação e pós-graduação nesta Área de Conhecimento. Esta investigação permitiu compreender as relações de poder que o dispositivo representa no meio acadêmico, bem como clarificar a configuração de uma cultura de produtividade a partir de quesitos pré-estabelecidos que podem, por meio de um dispositivo de controle e vigilância, impor, a partir de interesses específicos, uma conduta de professores e pesquisadores frente às demandas do cenário institucional universitário brasileiro

Abstract:

Studien behandlar ungdomar som av olika anledningar är eller känner sig övervakade och kontrollerade. På grund av särskilda regler och normer begränsas ungdomarnas handlingsutrymme. Vilka är då dessa ungdomar som berörs i studien? Den ena ungdomsgruppen är ungdomar som är placerade på institution och den andra gruppen rör invandrarflickor i särskilt drabbade familjer. Att vistas i en viss instängd institutionell sfär påverkar dessa ungdomar och deras liv på olika sätt. Syftet med studien är att undersöka hur olika tekniker, normer och strukturer inom en viss institutionell sfär påverkar ungdomarnas livsstil och att få insyn över de sociala utgångarna.Den primära frågeställningen lyder: Hur påverkar övervakningen inom en viss institutionell sfär på ungdomars socialisering eller resocialisering? Studien har genomförts utifrån ett hermeneutiskt angreppssätt, vilket betyder att studien baseras på intervjuer med invandrarflickor och institutionsplacerade ungdomar. Med hjälp av sociologiska teorier kring disciplinering och socialisering analyserades det empiriska materialet.

Slutsatserna av resultatet är att en lång tids vistelse på institution snarare hämmar än gynnar de ungas utveckling. En säker, disciplinerad och stabil miljö är viktig för de unga, men det som är minst lika viktigt är kontakten med och närheten till de personer som de unga älskar och/eller som är viktiga för dem.

Abstract:

Le philosophe artiste est une figure fantasmée ou désavouée. Par sa seule possibilité, il représente l’impossible frontière entre le discours philosophique et la création artistique. Bien qu’il invoque cette figure polémique, Nietzsche n’a pas été en mesure de fonder le philosophe artiste, mieux, il l’abandonne au profit d’un Dionysos ressuscité, plus à même de surmonter la confrontation avec Apollon. Or, voilà une figure orpheline qui ne semble plus que renvoyer à une nostalgie romantique et idéale où la philosophie, enfin, partagerait ses objets privilégiés ainsi que ses propres méthodes d’analyses avec la pratique artistique.

The philosopher artist is a either fantasized or disowned figure. Its very possibility represents the impossible border between philosophical discourse and artistic creation.

Indeed he abandons it in favor of a reincarnated Dionysos, better armed to overcome the confrontation with Apollo. Here is, then, an orphan figure which seems to only refer to a romantic and idealistic nostalgia where philosophy, at last, would share its privileged objects as well as its analytical methods with artistic practice. The question should nonetheless be asked: through what means ought the philosopher artist carry together art and philosophy?This thesis attempts to reintroduce this “eternal” problem by investigating every step of the way the typical tensions that this figure convokes: form and content; metaphysics and phenomena; language and metaphor. Similarly, although Nietzsche is the central figure of this investigation, we will also call upon other and equally typical philosophers such as Merleau-Ponty, Deleuze, as well as Spinoza and Aristotle. However, the aim of the thesis is not to grasp once again these properly philosophical problems as their utterance should be tested through artistic practice. Rather than uselessly attempt to elect a figure without master nor limit, the thesis thus contemplates, each time, a solution through artistic creation, manifested in original choreographic creations. These creations were produced in parallel with the research and elaborate singular works of art based on the same questions as the thesis. They confer to the dissertation a certain plasticity that the purely philosophical argument may have lacked. Further, they abolish the border inasmuch as they confront the same constraints as the argument: Panopticon interrogates panoptism as studied by Foucault in Discipline and Punish; Amor Fati elaborates on the concept of “eternal return” developed by Nietzsche; Etre au Monde recasts the question of sensibility as explored by Merleau-Ponty; finally, L’Ethique strives to reinvest from a sensible point of view the architecture of the axiomatic work of Spinoza. Is it not the meaning of the philosopher artist? Experiment and feel to study the effects?

Abstract:

Le philosophe artiste est une figure fantasmée ou désavouée. Par sa seule possibilité, il représente l’impossible frontière entre le discours philosophique et la création artistique. Bien qu’il invoque cette figure polémique, Nietzsche n’a pas été en mesure de fonder le philosophe artiste, mieux, il l’abandonne au profit d’un Dionysos ressuscité, plus à même de surmonter la confrontation avec Apollon. Or, voilà une figure orpheline qui ne semble plus que renvoyer à une nostalgie romantique et idéale où la philosophie, enfin, partagerait ses objets privilégiés ainsi que ses propres méthodes d’analyses avec la pratique artistique. Pourtant la question mérite d’être posée : par quelles modalités le philosophe artiste serait en droit de porter ensemble la philosophie et l’art ? La présente thèse tente de réintroduire ce problème pour le moins « éternel » en enquêtant pas-à-pas sur les lignes de tension typiques que cette figure met en jeu : la forme et le contenu ; la métaphysique et le phénomène ; le langage et la métaphore.

Abstract:

A headteacher recruitment crisis continues in the primary education sector (Howson & Sprigate, 2011; Rhodes et al., 2008). This research offers a voice for an increasingly marginalised group and synthesises the experiences of 15 primary headteachers, including retired, experienced and new school leaders against the changing educational scenery of four decades. An extended metaphor describing a changing epistemological landscape is utilised (Pascale, 2011), including dramaturgical discourse (Goffman, 1974). The research assesses whether the lived experiences of school leaders evidence a supposed movement away from the ‘freedom’ of the ‘secret garden’ of the pre-National Curriculum era to a time of reducing freedoms for headteachers under a central panoptic gaze (Foucault 1979; Ball 2006) and then to a new ‘supported autonomy’ as suggested by ‘Education Excellence Everywhere’ (DfE, 2016). The thesis assesses the capacity of phenomenological methodology to address the research questions and distinctions are made between approaches to phenomenology. A case is made for ensuring critical rationalism within the methodology and difficulties of attaining ‘epoche’ and ‘phenomenological reduction’ are debated. Findings support the view that there have been significant changes to headship over time. Analysis of these changes does not support the concept of a linear movement from a time of freedom to a landscape defined by Panopticism. The research suggests that a new paradigmatic shift is significantly changing the nature of primary headship with new forms of executive leadership and structures for leadership progression. Recommendations call for a reduction in the frequency of change for school leaders, a simplification of the inspection grading system, provision of clearer pathways to headship and greater support for school leaders as local authority services decline and safeguarding for leaders from the growth of social media abuse. This research offers a unique insight into headship and addresses an identified gap in educational research.

Abstract:

Sociala medier har blivit ett givet sätt att kommunicera genom och att vara en del av den sociala gemenskapen på Internet har sina fördelar. Men vad många inte tänker på är vad som händer med den information vi delar med oss av i olika sociala forum på Internet. Att det finns en kontroll över oss, subtil eller inte, är självklart. Vi övervakas dagligen och många gånger utan att vi ens vet om det. Google som sökmotor på Internet har under det senaste decenniet uppnått en enorm popularitet. Det vardagliga användandet av företagets söktjänst över hela världen har kommit att bli så stor att det har verbaliserats – Idag söker vi inte information på Google, vi googlar. Föreliggande uppsats tittar på Google som företag och hur deras tjänst har en stor del i individers informationssökning på Internet. Syftet med föreliggande uppsats är att undersöka på vilket sätt Google förmedlar sin nya sekretesspolicy och vilket eller vilka budskap som förs fram. Därefter kommer detta sättas i in ett övervakningsperspektiv, där ambitionen är att se huruvida Internet som fenomen, framför allt användandet av Googles tjänster, har kommit att problematisera den privata integriteten hos användarna. Syftet besvaras med hjälp av två frågeställningar: Vad förmedlar Google med sin nya policy? Hur påverkas den enskilda användarens integritet i Googles nya policy? Det teoretiska ramverket för uppsatsen består av Michel Foucaults vidareutveckling av begreppet panopticon, samt Thomas Mathiesens icke-panoptiska begrepp synopticon. De båda begreppen tas upp som metaforer för övervakning idag. Studien genomfördes genom att först titta på Googles sekretesspolicy som nylanserades i mars 2012. Denna policy analyserades genom att använda Carol Lee Bacchis metod – What’s the problem represented to be (WPR). Denna analytiska metod har ett kritiskt förhållningssätt till policys med inspiration från Foucaults maktdefinition och handlar om att granska problematiseringen i en policy. När sekretesspolicyn analyserats med hjälp av den valda metoden, sattes detta resultat in i ett övervakningsperspektiv. Jag framhåller att Google genom att beskriva processen vid informationsinsamlandet lägger fokus på varför information samlas in om sina användare, som ett resultat av det faktum att information samlas in. De fördelar som Google menar kommer med varför information samlas in om sina användare, används som incitament, med vilket företaget legitimerar denna subtila form av övervakning. Denna form av övervakning som kommer av informationslagring menar jag dock inte nödvändigtvis, ensidigt, bör ses som en nackdel. Slutsatsen för uppsatsens analys argumenterar för att vi som konsumenter på Internet kan se såväl fördelar som nackdelar med detta informationsutbyte då vi, mer eller mindre, deltar i denna maktprocess.

Abstract:

This study focuses on how students in ninth grade at a Sweden school experience the security of their high school. Which factors affect safety the most and whether there is any difference between how girls and boys view security. The study is qualitative with a hermeneutic approach and the empirical data was collected through semi-structured group interviews with a total of 10 students. To analyze our results, we have chosen to use Scheff's social bonds, Bourdieu's social capital and Foucault's analysis of panopticon. The results showed that the interviewees perceive the general security at their school as good, but that there are situations that are uncomfortable and groups that contribute to an unsafe environment. Furthermore, it turned out that a strong unity, good relations with staff and classmates as well as camera surveillance were seen as security-creating factors.

Abstract:

This paper attempts to survey the debate in the Swedish parliament on state surveillance on the Internet, from 1994 to March, 2007. With a discourse analysis inspired by Foucault, we follow how the idea of state surveillance is viewed by politicians during the period. By focusing on the Internet, we expect to find how politicians in the parliament regard the idea of an unregulated forum for citizen communication and interaction, and how the need for state surveillance on the new arena that is Internet, is expressed and argued for. Theoretical framework is given by Foucault’s theory of the Panoptic state, as well as his thoughts on discourse, power and governmentality. Foucault also supplies the methodological tools for the analysis. In attempting to find out how the political discourse on state surveillance on the Internet has been constituted, we examine what relationship between state and citizens is constituted in the discourse, how politicians argue for or against increased state surveillance, and how the possibility of applying new technology in state surveillance is viewed. The results of the analysis show a rationality for power of state control, resulting in attempts to increase the scope of state surveillance on the Internet. There is no questioning of the basic power rationale, that constitutes a need for state surveillance and control, but there is constant resistance to the attempts to increase state surveillance. We also find the discourse to be an area with a limited number of standpoints, and an ability of the political parties to make sudden switches from one position to another, radically different one, within the discourse.

Abstract:

This thesis uses ideas found in Michel Foucault's Discipline and Punish and related works as a theoretic framework for examining daily life in North Korea to understand what type of disciplinary techniques North Korean citizens are subjected to by the North Korean state. This paper will define several disciplinary strategies discussed by Foucault and then show how these strategies are deployed against the North Korean population through multiple examples. Analysis will demonstrate that these disciplinary strategies prevent political instability and suppress ideas dangerous to the North Korean regime, even while the North Korean regime fails to provide basic services for its population. As a result, the reader will have a better understanding of why the North Korean people seem so disciplined and do not rebel against the North Korean regime in the face of state-made disasters and hardships.

Abstract:

The international governance discourse has seen radical changes in both trends and understandings in recent years, from the global dominance of liberal democracy after the Cold War, to the current movement towards authoritarianism. The modern autocracy has progressed its reach by the use of new applications in technology, which has resulted in a digital authoritarianism, also known as E-governance. In China, a system known as the “Social Credit System” represents these changes in modern governance. It aims to improve civic governance by incorporating the social contract into a digital platform. The system has been described as both a technological salvation and Orwellian Panopticon, with approximately 900 million individual records whilst assigning each user with a social credit score depending on how well they perform on different areas, such as education, prosocial behavior, financial services and much more. “Trustworthy” users are given opportunities in life such as improved; welfare, housing, social status, employment, and mobility in society. Meanwhile, “trust breakers” are placed on a blacklist and face a variety of sanctions and restrictions. This qualitative case study analyzes the overall functioning of the system in terms of social control, in order to open up the (currently) rather dualistic debate on the system in current academic literature since the system is usually presented rather simplistically as either a threat or a benefit. The thesis, furthermore, analyses the domestic governance implications of the Social Credit System and the changes it suggests to how social control might be operationalized by other societies in the future. Lastly, the study will investigate the effect of social labelling in the “Blacklist” component and discuss the consequences for minority groups, polarization, governance advances, legal improvements, and rule of law.

Abstract:

George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four, first published in 1949, is a vision of socialism gone wrong. The setting of Oceania is a world ruled over by an oligarchical collective, “The Party,” which wields absolute power through a formidable combination of surveillance technology and the operation of the principles of “panoptic control,” a concept drawn from Jeremy Bentham’s model prison design of the late 1700s and revived by Foucault in the mid 1970s. The combination of surveillance technology and panoptic control is central to the functioning of power in Orwell’s novel, a union which has created a self-sustaining form of totalitarianism dependent on the oppression of individual identity for its automatic perpetuation. This essay offers a reading of Nineteen Eighty-Four as an implicit critique of Bentham’s Panopticon which in many ways foreshadowed the later work of Michel Foucault on the functioning of power within this specific type of physical and social architecture.
George Orwells roman 1984, vilken publicerades första gången 1949, är en framtidsvision om socialism som gått fel. Romanen utspelas i Oceania, en värld som styrs av ett oligarkiskt kollektiv, “Partiet,” vilket utövar absolut makt genom en utstuderad kombination av övervakningsteknik och teorin om “panoptisk” kontroll, ett begrepp sprunget ur av Jeremy Benthams fängelsemodell från sent 1700-tal, vilket återskapades av Michel Foucault i mitten av 1970-talet. Kombinationen av övervakningsteknologi och panopticism har i Oceanien skapat en totalitarianism som fungerar med automatik och förtrycker individuell identitet för att befästa statens makt.

Abstract:

In my essay, I describe a situation that happened at a preschool during my service as a replacement childcare worker. There I address some issues that deal with power relations in preschool, exercise of power and how it can affect children in their free play. In my story, a regular staff, claims some local rules that I think are contrary to curriculum rules on children’s development. I myself do participate in the event. I feel at a disadvantage in what’s going on. The purpose of this scientific essay is to analyse power relationships within preschool from different perspectives using some scientific theories. One is the theory of power that Foucault presents in Monitoring and Punishment, a study in everyday life's drama by Goffman and the other is status change concept by Johnstone. I reflect on what has happened and find that I too may have neglected colleagues and been able to make them feel inferior in certain situations. This discovery I will bring with me and act differently in future similar situations.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis develops a new way of engaging emotion in a large organisation and develops a new form of organisational practice entitled “Reflective Emotional Practitioning.” The thesis argues that the concept of emotional intelligence as accepted in organisations represses rather than embraces emotion. The conceptual framework centres the inquiry on the problem of organisational power as an obstacle to the creative harnessing of emotion at work. The thesis reverses the organisations’ centralised power by placing the individual at the centre so that the individual learns to reflect upon and embrace emotion in collective and self inquiry, and demonstrates how this may lead to creative and ethical work. The thesis is divided into two parts: in the first, the author carried out action research workshops on emotional intelligence and performance management, but it became clear that power was an issue, repressing emotions. But through reflection this became a turning point after the author engaged in deep self-reflection in meditative supervisions, writing and reflective practice. This enabled the author to process experience into a methodological shift towards a self-ethnography and research action applied to the work situation in what became called Reflective Emotional Practitioning (REP). The REP model was used as a tool to venture further on a visceral pathway, uncovering the author’s relationship with emotion. The author began to recognise that the self and the other could be held in reflexive practice and writing. In the second part evidence comes through further vignettes representing the author’s pathway and shone a light on a dialogical process between the self and others. Freedom and space were revealed and the research began to demonstrate the inner- and outer-selves working through emotion. Through this process emotion became conceptualised as “felt energy”. Felt energy was triggered by the outer world, but also a place of knowing from which further action could be taken, and then further reflected upon. The reflexive writing process used vignettes to illustrate how emotion was engaged, fed back and stored as a “return to the self” in a continual learning process. Through illuminating a new way of both conceptualising and working with emotions, the author shows how, over several years of reflective practice, the method underpinned some major innovative and sustainable work projects. The thesis concludes by defining the contribution of this research as a transferable approach that can engage emotion in self-empowered actions within an organisation’s power regime. The contribution is to both methodology and knowledge about the way emotion is experienced, used and conceptualised, although the author acknowledges and discusses the difficulty of producing knowledge through writing the self, particularly within the confines of a large public sector organisation. However, the struggle to write the self has produced a rich text that conveys the possibilities of transferring the approach for other organisational researchers and reflective practitioners engaging emotion in their different personal and organisational contexts.

Abstract:

Michel Foucault no seu livro Vigiar e punir, ao estudar o plano arquitetural do panóptico de Jeremy Bentham, inventa a concepção do panoptismo. Foucault tenta entender o panóptico dentro das problematizações do espaço, que para ele vão estar ligadas às dificuldades, no século XVIII, de lidar com o crescente aumento populacional e as transformações oriundas desta demanda. Segundo os escritos de Bentham, o panóptico é em sua estrutura física um prédio circular com uma torre central, de onde se pode observar as celas construídas a sua volta. Para empreender o estudo da invenção do panoptismo por Foucault, a pesquisa foi dividida em três capítulos. No Primeiro capítulo foi feita uma investigação sobre quais foram as prerrogativas do panoptismo, no sentido de inserir o pensador e sua obra dentro de um universo de produção. No segundo capítulo vai se falar de aproximações e divergências nas concepções de Foucault e Bentham do panóptico, em como Foucault o tomou como um indicativo de uma temporalidade. No terceiro capítulo foi feita uma divisão das fases do pensamento do autor, relacionando-as a arte e o ofício de historiar, para entender como é possível falar em invenção do panoptismo.
Michel Foucault in his book Discipline and Punish (Vigiar e punir) invents the concept of panoptic studying its architectural plan elaborated by Jeremy Bentham. Foucault tries to understand the panoptic inserted in problems about space that are, for him, connected to difficulties, in the XVIII century, to deal with population growth and its transformations. According to Bentham, the physical structure of panoptic is a circular building with a central tower, where someone can observe the cells constructed around it. To achieve the panoptism invention by Foucault, the dissertation was divided in three chapter. In the first was made an investigation about panoptism circumstances in order to inset the author and his work in a universe of production. The second deals with Foucault and Benthams approximations and divergences on conceptions about the panoptic. Besides this, the second chapter shows how Foucault takes the panoptic as an indicative of one temporality. The third chapter makes splitting in Foucaults thought in phases, connect them with the art and the métier of make history to understand how it can tell about panoptism invention.

Abstract:

In the last couple of years there has been an increase in camera surveillance in Malmö, Rosengård. The purpose of this study is to examine what effect the increase of camera surveillance has on the behaviour of the inhabitants of Rosengård. When talking about camera surveillance this includes every aspect of cameras. There are settled cameras as well as body cameras on police and lastly drones used to monitor. In an earlier study made by me, the aim was to interview police in Malmö to understand the underlying causes for the increase of camera surveillance and to understand in what way the cameras affect human behaviour. Unlike the previous study this one focuses on the inhabitants of Rosengård. The main focus is to see how these people perceive the increase in camera surveillance and to understand what effect they consider the camera surveillance has on mainly the criminal behaviour but also the residents daily behaviour. The reasoning and thoughts that the residents of Rosengård share with us about camera surveillance in their area will all be analyzed through Michel Foucault's based theories: governmentality and panopticism. These theories are essential since they both concern power relations and the government's effect on self-discipline. Besides these two theories the study will also be supported by Mark Andrejevics theory lateral surveillance as the third theory. The main focus of the third theory is to analyze whether the residents in Rosengård feel like they are obligated to report crime in their area and in what way they monitor their area. The presentation of the theories is followed by an analysis section where the theoretical starting points are applied to the informants' reasoning about the effect of camera surveillance. Finally, the analysis leads on to a conclusion where what is written in the analysis is summarized and reflected upon.

Abstract:

Notre travail propose de nouveaux outils pour comprendre la surveillance qui nous affecte aujourd’hui, et ce à partir de sa mise en scène dans les utopies et dystopies. L’analyse des régimes politiques qui y sont décrits permet de constater l’omniprésence de la surveillance en leur sein. Elle s’y manifeste de manière extrêmement diverse, et aucun des nombreux modèles issus des sciences sociales ne permet d’en rendre compte exhaustivement. Pour comprendre cette hétérogénéité, nous proposons un outil théorique englobant, fondé sur le panopticon tel qu’envisagé par M. Foucault, en intégrant et en dépassant les critiques dont il a fait l’objet. Nos panopticons contemporains ne doivent pas être appréhendés comme des bâtiments à l’architecture singulière mais, plus abstraitement, comme les relations que nous dirons « panoptiques » en raison de leur structure asymétrique qui crée, pour le surveillé, une incertitude quant à l’effectivité du « regard » porté sur lui par le surveillant. Qu’il soit vu ou non, il ne peut le vérifier. Il intériorise le surveillant et agit en fonction d’un simulacre, lié à la fiction du « croire être vu ». Nous explorons les conséquences sémiotiques de cette fiction, la manière dont la surveillance peut conditionner une forme de vie, mais, aussi, la manière dont le surveillé peut choisir de résister, de disparaître pour créer d’autres manières d’habiter le monde. Cette recherche littéraire se veut elle-même une forme de lutte et, dans cet esprit, au cours d’« essais de sémiotique littéraire du social », nous tirons de nos analyses des œuvres les moyens de porter un regard critique décalé sur des événements socio politiques contemporains
This thesis offers tools for a better understanding of the concept of surveillance in today’s society, based on its portrayal in utopias and dystopias. We notice a ubiquitous surveillance in every political regime depicted. This surveillance expresses itself in so many different ways that none of the numerous models formulated across the social sciences allow for an exhaustive account. Our goal is to offer a comprehensive theoretical tool that explains that heterogeneity. We base this tool on M. Foucault’s panopticon, while taking into account and going beyond its different criticisms. Our contemporary panopticons should not be seen as buildings with a singular architecture, but rather as abstract relations called “panoptic” because of their asymmetrical structure. Therefore, the subject cannot be certain that he/she is actually or metaphorically being monitored. Therefore, he/she is bound to internalize the idea of a watcher, to act according to a fiction, the “I believe I am being watched.” We examine the semiotic consequences of this fiction: how surveillance can create a new form of life, but also how the monitored can create new ways to inhabit the world by choosing to resist and to disappear. This literary research is a form of resistance in itself. Through “essays on literary semiotics of the social world,” our analysis of literary works gives us the means to develop a critical outlook on contemporary socio-political events

Abstract:

ABSTRACT In 1991, British novelist Patricia Barker published Regeneration, the first of three novels that portrayed the exploits of both factual and fictional characters during the darkest days of WWI. Barker's Eye in the Door (1993), followed by The Ghost Road (1995) for which she won the Booker Prize for Fiction, completed the series that explored the effects of combat on the human psyche. What emerges as a dominant feature of Barker's war novels is her depiction of the ocular sense. Reminiscent of Orwellianism, Barker's texts contain a seemingly ubiquitous ocular presence. For example, neurasthenic patients are scrutinized by army psychiatrists, objectors and subversives are spied upon or imprisoned so that their activities may be observed, and combatants are faced with the challenge of reconciling the horrifying events they have witnessed in combat. This study investigates the role and importance of Pat Barker's depiction of eyes and visuality in her war trilogy. The overreaching goal of the thesis to examine Barker's aestheticized notion of ocularity. It is my aim to come some conclusions about how vision / ocularity signal the emergence of a few central themes in the texts such as power relationships, objectification, exposure and the transgression of boundaries. The social and linguistic theories of Michael Foucault, Roland Barthes, Georges Bataille, Martin Jay and others who have addressed the themes of perception and ocular symbolism will be introduced into my discussion with the aim of providing a theoretic foundation to many of my assertions. Chapters will begin with an interpretation of a piece of theoretical writing by one of these authors followed by an analysis of Barker's texts that incorporates the major tenets of that theory. These tenets will serve as a basis to my discussion and it is my hope that, through the creative application of theoretical writing, I will address a number of aspects of Barker's work, especially in relation to her ocular imagery, that that have thus far gone unexplored.

Abstract:

The aim of this study is to describe and analyse three different discourses on elderly care, as they emerge in statements from care staff and research. Each discourse centres on a sign, or pair of signs: care, education/professional competence, and the elderly/ageing. Drawing its main inspiration from Laclau and Mouffe, and Foucault, the analysis is made with regard to how the discourses are constructed, what they include and exclude. The discourse on care interconnects family, homeliness and mutuality. Empathy, a good attitude, family ideals endow elderly care with distinctly feminine connotations. Theoretical concepts such as rationality of care and an almost exclusive research focus on women’s work have tended to construct the same nexus. Unknowingly, or sometimes despite intentions, the discourse in this way reproduces conservative gender roles. A discourse on ‘anti-care’, exemplified by disorganisation and incompetent management, is also created and invested with responsibility for shortcomings. The discourse on education and professional competence centres on claims to medical and executive tasks by nurses, the struggle against deprofessionalisation of assistant nurses, and the attempt of nurse aids to resist categorisation as ‘anybody’. Education/training are considered important to raise work status, but also leading to an instrumental attitude and distance from the core of the occupation – care. The discourse on the elderly and ageing characterises them as lonely and depressed. Also being violent and ungrateful, their behaviour undermine the notion of mutuality. Social interaction and outdoor walks are presented as means to improve their situation. Fundamental to the discourse is an ambiguous approach to ageing as both natural and something to be deferred. Ageing is further presented as decivilisation process, in which gradual loss of control over the body is also a loss of human-ness. The body is, paradoxically, what both defines and disqualifies the elderly as fully human. The depersonalising and biographing procedures of elderly care, sequential but overlapping, display its proximity to Goffman’s total institution and Foucault’s panopticon. Conversation plays an important disciplinary part in encouraging the elderly to want to do right, i.e., be socially active, and avoid amoral or asocial habits like drink, sex or solitude.

Full text

Abstract:

In what French philosopher Gilles Deleuze labelled Control Societies, mechanisms reminiscent of censorship – that is, restriction of information that administrators of power wish to regulate the spreading of – are present in the concept of copyright. This kind of censorship has theadvantage of not being scrutinized by public eyes in the way that the work of institutionalized censorship agencies such as the Swedish Statens Biografbyrå was. It is not unlikely that expanded possibilities for punishing anyone who spreads copyrighted material will result in larger and larger areas that may not be accessed, as the avoiding of conflict and repressive actions will emphasize the behaviour to take detours around information that is deemed taboo and therefore suspicious and dangerous. The ACTA trade agreement is one proposed tool for such extended possibilities for punishment. This essay does not however claim that copyright and censorship are the same – but rather that the institutional execution of power that was previously a matter of state censorship has a lot of similarities with current and prognosticated application of copyright laws by corporations. While claiming to protect the individual, the disciplinary power executed actually aims to protect the one executing it; the purpose of the power structure is to replicate itself.

Abstract:

This studies purpose is to analyse the representation of media in the television series Mr. Robot as well as to analyse the representation of the prominent conglomerate called E-Corp that is central to the narrative of the series. Theories used in the study is mainly concerned with mapping out the semiotic signs as well as using theories of representation by Stuart Hall to further understand the meanings behind the signs that are distinguished in the analysis. Foucault theory about panopticons is implemented when looking at surveillance from E-Corp as well as Jones theory about techno- and grunge-economies. The results of the study show that media is often represented as lying or being shallow. According to the series it’s easy to get stuck in a simulation of reality where you can’t tell the difference between what’s real and what’s hyperreal. The representation of the corporation shows little about the regular employee but emphasizes that those in charge often are bad or simply manipulative people.

CAPES
The increasing use of cyberspace in International Relations is providing a new scenario for world politics. The evolution of digital media has provided a data flow never before seen in human history, which eventually expanded the role of information as a bargaining chip in the power relations of the current international scenario. One of the changes observed from this process was the strengthening of surveillance – which gains new tools in the cyber environment – as a mechanism of monitoring, law enforcement, control and acquisition of information that makes international actors relevant in the new cyberpower relations. Thus, this dissertation analyzes this phenomenon from two main lines that complement each other: the evolution of surveillance as a key dimension of (cyber)security through a panoptic and post-panoptic approach and how these perspectives influence the current cyber surveillance phenomena. To do so, we present Foucault's studies of disciplinary society and its developments that have given rise to an information society of control, and Bauman’s analysis on liquid modernity and how its characteristics can influence contemporary surveillance. The second line of analysis, drawn from the data collected so far, deals with a vision of cyber surveillance as a tool of cyberspace securitization process. Following this logic, studies of the Copenhagen School, based on the constructivist theory of International Relations, point out a favorable path to understanding the role of cyber surveillance within the cybersecurity issues. As an example case, we examine how this process took place within NSA programs of global surveillance revealed in mid-2013 by Edward Snowden. In order to achieve these objectives, classical authors of surveillance and security studies will be reviewed, as well as new approaches; for the presentation and analysis of the proposed case, documentary analysis, reports and speeches relating to international responses in the face of revelations of the NSA programs will be used.
O crescente uso do ciberespaço nas Relações Internacionais vem propiciando um novo cenário para a política mundial. A evolução dos meios digitais proporcionou um fluxo de dados nunca antes visto na história da humanidade, o que acabou ampliando o papel da informação enquanto moeda de troca nas relações de poder do cenário internacional atual. Uma das transformações observadas a partir deste processo foi o fortalecimento da vigilância – que ganha novas ferramentas no ambiente cibernético – enquanto mecanismo de monitoramento, manutenção da ordem, controle e aquisição de informações que tornem os atores internacionais relevantes nas novas relações de poder cibernéticas. Sendo assim, a presente dissertação analisa este fenômeno a partir de duas linhas principais que se complementam: a evolução da vigilância enquanto dimensão-chave da (ciber)segurança, através de uma abordagem panóptica e pós-panóptica e como estas perspectivas influenciam nos fenômenos atuais de vigilância cibernética. Para tanto, apresentam-se os estudos de Foucault acerca da sociedade disciplinar e os seus desdobramentos que deram lugar a uma sociedade de controle informacional, e as análises de Bauman sobre a modernidade líquida e como tais características podem influenciar a vigilância contemporânea. A segunda linha de análise, elaborada a partir dos dados levantados até então, aborda uma visão da vigilância cibernética enquanto ferramenta do processo de securitização do ciberespaço. Seguindo esta lógica, os estudos da Escola de Copenhague, baseados na teoria construtivista das Relações Internacionais, apontam um caminho propício para a compreensão do papel da vigilância cibernética dentro das questões de cibersegurança. Como exemplo de caso, examina-se como esse processo se deu dentro dos programas de vigilância global da NSA, revelados em meados de 2013 por Edward Snowden. A fim de alcançar tais objetivos, serão revisados autores clássicos dos estudos de vigilância e segurança, bem como novas abordagens; para a apresentação e análise do caso proposto, serão utilizados análises documentais, reportagens e discursos referentes às respostas internacionais em face das revelações dos programas da NSA.

Title:”Speed cameras - an prevention of crime and a standard forming instrument of control?”

University of Kalmar

The studys purpose is to get a absorbed understanding for peoples attitude, and effect of speed cameras. The disposition for the study is to integrate earlier studies in the matter, combined with elevating interesting sociological conceptions. As an attempt to understand speed cameras as an instrument of force on the individual have Michel Foucaults concept Panopticon been used to see its effect, and it’s look upon how crime prevention will be formulated, which can give an explanation of why speed cameras are being used as an instrument of control on the traffic area. The study builds on questionnaire surveys that were made at two different surroundings around Kalmar.

The places were chosen on the basis of being equivalent, with speed cameras in the traffic environment between the village and the bigger town of Kalmar. The basis for the study builds on 200 questionnaires that are distributed on the basis of sexes and age structure in the survey areas. The processing of data have been made with the statistics program SPSS. The framing of the questions that has been used to answer the purpose are 1)How is the attitude towards speed cameras?, 2)How does speed cameras effect road-users driving behaviour?, 3)The respondents view of causes for speed infringements.

Some of the results that the study showed were that 41 percent had a positive attitude towards speed cameras. The study also pointed on a clear connection to the driving behaviour of the respondent have been calmer after the speed cameras have been introduced in the traffic environment, where particularly men experienced themselves to drive calmer. The cameras limited effect on the drive behaviour were obvious when 36 percent answered that they changed their driving behaviour by driving faster between the cameras and brake when they pass them. 1/5 of the respondents experience that the cameras disturb their concentration and make their driving poorer. The result can question the authorities purpose as “lifesavers”, and even turn the cameras into a increased traffic risk. The reason why road users exceed speed limits is among other things that the road users experience that the roads are suited for higher speed limits. This leads to a low acceptance towards the prevailing speed limits. The most common stated reason to why speed limits exceeds is that the road users don’t realize the risks that comes with driving to fast. This interprets that the speed cameras effect in order to change this view is not sufficient. In order to increase risk awareness other moves should be used like more information. In line with Brå:s report 2007:29 is criticism that is being emphasized in the study among other things a blind faith in cameras effectiveness in preventing crimes. The study shall be seen as an independent study that weighs authorities’ reports and results against this study's result.

Studien syftar till att få en fördjupad förståelse för individers inställning till, och påverkan av hastighetskameror. Upplägget för studien är att integrera tidigare studier i ämnet, i kombination med att lyfta fram intressanta sociologiska begrepp.

Som ett försök att förstå hastighetskamerors som maktmedel på individen har Michel Foucalts begrepp Panopticon använt för att se dess verkan, samt Ingrid Sahlins syn på hur brottsprevention ska utformas, vilket kan ge en bild av varför hastighetskameror används som styrmedel på trafikområdet.

Studiens bygger på en enkätundersökning som genomfördes vid två olika närområden till Kalmar. Platserna valdes utifrån förutsättningarna att vara likvärdiga, med hastighetskameror i trafikmiljön mellan orten och den större staden Kalmar. Underlaget för studien bygger på 200 enkäter som är fördelat utifrån kön- och åldersfördelningen i undersökningsområdena. Behandling av data har skett genom statistikprogrammet SPSS. De frågeställningar som använts för att besvara syftet är

1)Hur är inställningen till hastighetskameror? 2)Hur påverkar hastighetskameror trafikanters körbeteende? 3)Respondenternas syn på orsaker till hastighetsöverträdelser.

Några av de resultat som studien visade var att 41 procent hade en positiv inställning till hastighetskameror. Studien visade också på ett tydligt samband till att respondenterna körbeteende blivit lugnare efter det att hastighetskameror införts i trafikmiljön, där främst män upplevde sig köra lugnare. Kamerornas begränsade inverkan på körbeteendet visade sig då 36 procent uppgav att de anpassat sitt körbeteende genom att köra fortare mellan hastighetskamerorna och bromsar in när de passerar dem. 1/5-del av respondenterna upplever att kamerorna stör koncentrationen och gör dem till sämre bilförare. Resultatet kan ifrågasätta myndigheternas syfte med kamerorna som ”livräddare”, till att även utgöra en ökad trafikrisk. Orsaken till varför trafikanter överskrider hastighetsöverträdelser beror bland annat på att trafikanterna upplever att vägarna är anpassade att köra fortare på än vad hastigheten tillåter. Detta leder till en låg acceptans för rådande hastighetsbegränsningarna. Att trafikanter inte inser riskerna med att köra för fort, är den vanligast angivna orsaken till varför hastighetsbegränsningar överskrids. Detta tyder på att hastighetskamerors inverkan för att ändra denna uppfattning inte är tillräcklig. För att öka riskmedvetenhet borde det förmodligen istället satsas på åtgärder som ökad information. I linje med Brå:s Rapport 2007:29 är kritik som lyfts fram i studien bland annat övertron på kamerors effektivitet för att förebygga brott. Arbetet ska ses som en oberoende studie som väger myndigheters rapporter och resultat, mot denna studies resultat.

Abstract:

Abstract ALWAYS ALREADY IMPRISONED: THE PANOPTIC POWER OF CAPITALISM IN AMERICAN LITERATURE, 1900-1940 By Andrew Blair Spencer, Ph.D. A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at Virginia Commonwealth University. Virginia Commonwealth University, 2019 Director: Dr. Richard Fine, Professor, Department of English By applying the theories of control that Michel Foucault outlines in Discipline and Punish to the capitalist system, I argue that capitalism functions in much the same was as Jeremy Bentham’s Panopticon in that it perpetually imprisons individuals who live under its purview. As I see it, capitalism works on two different tracks to exploit the human condition in order to keep those living under its purview perpetually trapped within an endless cycle of working to acquire commodities, both for our personal survival and our personal indulgence. Advertising assumes the role of Foucauldian discourse in this model. In the United States, advertising became a commercial force in the mid-nineteenth century; by the beginning of the twentieth century, it was a fully-fledged profession that worked to fuel the bourgeoning commercial culture that was beginning to manifest itself in all areas of American life. By creating needs and desires in the minds of consumers, advertisers were able to dictate consumer behavior, thereby further locking Americans into the capitalist Panopticon. This theoretical base becomes the foundation upon which I build my explication of fourteen representative American novels written during the period 1900-1940. I offer in-depth discussions of individual novels, paying particular attention to the ways in which authors interrogate the capitalist system in light of the image of the United States as a land of opportunity. The selection of works includes both male and female authors, as well as white and African-American writers. Characters range from very poor to exorbitantly wealthy, and include multiple examples of middle-class life, too; the collection of works I have chosen includes both native-born and immigrant populations, as well. This wide range of socio-economic backgrounds, races, and nationalities provides a comprehensive picture of how all-encompassing the capitalist Panopticon is in American society.

Course: Media and Communication Studies C

Period: Autumn term 2007

University: Division of Media and Communication, Department of Information Science, Uppsala University.

Purpose/Aim: The aim of this essay is partly to make a study about how people understand camera supervise, and partly discuss what their opinions are concering the subject.

Key Questions: Which or what is the mainpurpose of camerasurveillance? What does the public think about the subject? When can there be an insult against the integrity while using the cameras? What is private and what is public? What is the posibilities and threats in the future?

Material/Method: A qualitative method has been used. Four interviewes, one personale interview with a policeofficer from Uppsala and three focusgroupinterviwes with people from Stockholm, have been done. Then the results from the interviewes have been compared with earlier theories and reaserches. By reading publicdocuments, press releases and reports from the government, I have gather information for the essay.

Main results: Even if the public are aware of the cameras and knows that they allmoust allways are whatched by the electronic eye, they don´t seem to care that much about the constant surveillance. Even if they observe the cameras at first they quickly forget about them. The cameras real purpose is working fairly good, even if the public thinks that thecameras should obstruct all the crimes. Allthough the cameras are preventing manycrimes and discourage people from committing minor crime, just by its appearance.

Keywords: Attitudes, opinions, interviews, Panopticon, public, camera supervise, privacy and public.

Abstract:

The aim of this thesis is to explore how different competing discourses in the historical context of the Swedish education development have qualified and disqualified different constructions of national curriculum. How and after what kind of principles is the curriculum constructed? What qualify who are going to be recognized as the author and addressee of the curriculum? These key ques-tions of the study are discussed in the first part of the thesis. My point of depar-ture is that the curriculum can be understood as a relation between freedom and control. In an educational system this relationship reflects the problematic ten-sion between the external demands from an authoritative center and the local need to independently reflect over educational issues. How these concepts are defined by the prevailing social discourses affect specific relations and construc-tions of curricula as a steering tool and a producer of specific teacher identities. In this sense, I claim that curriculum is constructed in different ways depending on which of the didactic questions are emphasized and answered and who is judged as the legitimate author. Based on this, three models of curriculum con-struction are formulated; the content based, the result based and the process based. These models are subsequently used as an analytical tool to examine the historical development of Swedish national curricula. The second part of the thesis investigates the Swedish education system and the production of the national curriculum as a product of rival discourses. The historical investigation begins 1842 when the first state curriculum was issued and the inquiry concludes in 2008. The findings indicate that no one single con-struction has been totally dominant and that there has been an on-going discur-sive struggle between different alternative and opinions about what teachers must do and be.

Abstract:

Dissertação de Mestrado em Antropologia
A crise dos refugiados despoletou a corrida às fronteiras por parte dos meios de comunicação social. São estes que, através da sua própria perspetiva, divulgam através de imagens os acontecimentos, criando consequentemente uma representação dos “refugiados” através dessas mesmas imagens. A tendência representativa deste fenómeno assenta numa perspetiva monocular, que influencia a opinião coletiva, vincando a relação entre o “eu” e o “outro”. Uma primeira pessoa fotografa para uma segunda pessoa sobre uma terceira pessoa. Neste sentido, a perspetiva monocular chama à discussão o olhar panótico de Michel Foucault, pois a terceira pessoa, o “refugiado”, é vista sem ter a oportunidade de ver, sem ter a oportunidade de se “defender” da representação que lhe é atribuída. Como consequência, a constante reprodução de imagens torna o fenómeno universal aos olhos de quem as vê. Esta regularidade fomenta a banalização do fenómeno, evocando na opinião coletiva a aceitação e, posteriormente, a perpetuação da Bare-Life. O objetivo da presente investigação é o de, recorrendo à pesquisa etnográfica, identificar as principais caraterísticas desta representação e aferir da sua coincidência com a autorrepresentação dos refugiados e de outros que estiveram em alguns dos principais palcos da chamada ‘crise de refugiados’.
The refugees crisis sparked the eye-light of social communication media on European borders. The latter shoot and publish images of refugees, that boost a social representation of the occurrence. The patterns of representation are underpinned in a public-opinion-influencing monocular perspective, thus deepening the cleavage in the relationship between “us” and “they”. A person A photographs a person C for the sake of a person B. The monocular perspective recalls Michel Foucault’s “Panopticon”, hence the third person, the “refugee”, is seen with no opportunities to see nor to defend the representation he is attributed. Furthermore, the constant display of migrants’ images make the referred occurrences a universal phenomenon for the viewer, whilst trivializing it and evocating acceptance and perpetuation of Bare-Life within the society. Through the use of ethnographic methods, the research primarily aims to identify the main features of refugees’ social representation. This partial outcome will be bridged with refugees’ own self-representation. Moreover, it will be considered also the representation pictured by workers and volunteers at the European borders, thus the main stage of the actual “refugee crisis”.
