Mattelart counters the urgent injunction to ignore history in the face of the contemporary threat (because 'everything has changed') by exploring the long marriage between capitalism and surveillance. The book shows us how the mobilization of the promise of security has been used to undermine freedom, and suggests what it might mean to think the two together. This is an indispensable work that explores the sometimes invisible atmosphere in which we move: that of ubiquitous surveillance, tracking, and targeting - and the interests which these serve.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMark Andrejevic, University of Iowa\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003eI Disciplining \/ Managing\u003cbr\u003e1 - Surveillance: delinquency as a political observatory\u003cbr\u003e2 - Punishing: the apprehended multitude\u003cbr\u003e3 - Managing Mass Society: the lessons of total war\u003cbr\u003eII Hegemonizing \/ Pacifying\u003cbr\u003e4 - The Cold War and the religion of national security\u003cbr\u003e5 - \"Civic action\" or the reappropriation of the national security doctrine\u003cbr\u003e6 - Counterinsurgency, the crossroads of expeditionary forces\u003cbr\u003e7 - The internationalisation of torture\u003cbr\u003eIII Securitizing \/ Insecuritizing\u003cbr\u003e8 - The new domestic order\u003cbr\u003e9 - War without end: the techno-security paradigm\u003cbr\u003e10 - The European Police Area\u003cbr\u003e11 - The traceability of bodies and goods\u003cbr\u003eEpilogue\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"John Wiley and Sons Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49404387230039,"sku":"9780745645100","price":49.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780745645100.jpg?v=1730486301","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-globalization-of-surveillance-9780745645100","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
