Public & Privacy
Outline
-history of and surveillance today
-review of the capture model
-definition of privacy
-private versus public

Surveillance
close watch kept over someone or something
from surveillance to dataveillance
dataveillance/spying
-carnavor
-echelon
-total information awareness agency
now the “terrorism information awareness” project
name change as of may 21, 2003 to mollify congress’ worries about intrusion of the privacy of u.s. citizens
-officially ended in september 2003
Capture (in comparison with surveillance)
•linguistic metaphors (e.g., grammars of action)
•instrumentation and reorganization of existing activities
•captured activity is assembled from standardized “parts” from an institutional setting
•decentralized and heterogeneous organization
•the driving aims are not necessarily political, but philosophical/market driven
Privacy: a definition
•1.
–a. the quality or state of being apart from company or observation
–b. SECLUSION: freedom from unauthorized intrusion.
•2. archaic : a place of seclusion
Privacy: a culturally specific definition
•Does the U.S. Bill of Rights define an individual’s “right to privacy”?
•Not explicitly, but...
–Inferably: e.g., Amendment IV: The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
–Implicitly: e.g., Amendment IX: The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.
Architectures of privacy
•from doors, windows and fences
•to wires, networks, wireless networks, databases and search engines
example: architecture of the web
•examples of anti- & monitoring architectural features of the web
–HTTP headers
•cookies
–encryption (anti-monitoring)
•example of searching on the web
–try “googling” yourself
Architectures and Inefficiencies
Sometimes inefficient architectures, inefficient technologies are good technologies because they allow for or facilitate resistance by the less powerful in the face of powerful individuals, corporations and governments

HUMAN
Outline in this class
Identity and cyborgs
–what is a cyborg?
a comparison of democratic, liberal politics; identity politics; biopolitics; and cyborg politics
The main topic in this class was relation between human and cyborg.
We can find cyborg on many S.F movies; the film make cyborg is like a human. And cyborg confused their identity.
biopolitics: politics carried out through the means, the techniques and technologies of health and illness, statistics, the census, epidemiology and demography, the science of race, eugenics, population, abortion, genomics, and new reproductive technologies.
Chimera: “identities” of mixtures & fusions
Definition of chimera (Oxford English Dictionary)
–Painting, Archicture: A grotesque monster formed of the parts of various animals.
–Literature: An unreal creature of the imagination
–Biology: An organism (commonly a plant) in which tissues of genetically different constitution co-exists as a result of grafting, mutation, or some other process.
This sculpture is one of the images of the mixtures.
Definition of cyborg
“A cyborg is a cybernetic organism, a hybrid machine and organism, a creature of social reality as well as a creature of fiction. ... By the late twentieth century, our time, a mythic time, we are all chimeras, theorized and fabricated hybrids of machine and organism; in short, we are cyborgs.”
a cyborg world: from one perspective
From one perspective, a cyborg world is about the final imposition of a grid of control on the planet, about the final abstraction embodied in a Star Wars apocalypse waged in the name of defense, about the final appropriation of women’s bodies in a masculinity orgy of war.
a cyborg world: from another perspective
From another perspective, a cyborg world might be about lived social and bodily realities in which people are not afraid of their joint kinship with animals and machines, not afraid of permanently partial identities and contradictory standpoints.
The “cyborg manifesto”
what is a manifesto?
–compare to the manifestos of art and politics (e.g., surrealism and marxism)
the breakdown of three dichotomies
-human/animal
-machine/organism
-physical/non-physical
“There is nothing about being “female” that naturally binds women.”
“No objects, spaces or bodies are sacred in themselves; any component can be interfaced with any other if the proper standard, the proper code, can be constructed for processing signals in a common language.”
“The cyborg is a kind of disassembled and reassembled, post-modern collective and personal self. This is the self feminists must code.”
(identity and performance / difference)
