Anyone who uses a credit card, cell phone, or even search engines to navigate the Web is being monitored and assessed--and often in ways that are imperceptible to us. The first general introduction to the growing field of surveillance studies, \u003ci\u003eSuperVision\u003c\/i\u003e uses examples drawn from everyday technologies to show how surveillance is used, who is using it, and how it affects our world. \u003c\/p\u003eBeginning with a look at the activities and technologies that connect most people to the surveillance matrix, from identification cards to GPS devices in our cars to Facebook, John Gilliom and Torin Monahan invite readers to critically explore surveillance as it relates to issues of law, power, freedom, and inequality. Even if you avoid using credit cards and stay off Facebook, they show, going to work or school inevitably embeds you in surveillance relationships. Finally, they discuss the more obvious forms of surveillance, including the security systems used at airports and on city streets, which both epitomize contemporary surveillance and make impossibly grand promises of safety and security. Gilliom and Monahan are among the foremost experts on surveillance and society, and, with \u003ci\u003eSuperVision, \u003c\/i\u003ethey offer an immensely accessible and engaging guide, giving readers the tools to understand and to question how deeply surveillance has been woven into the fabric of our everyday lives.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Gilliom, Torin Monahan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0226924440\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780226924441\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Chicago Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/20\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2013","brand":"John Gilliom","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44056659951871,"sku":"9780226924441","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4293b07c-c8c7-4453-b788-28686d3b1bd6.jpg?v=1685042556","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/supervision-john-gilliom-9780226924441","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
