SUMMARY:CRISP online seminar
DESCRIPTION:This seventh online seminar of the Centre for Research into Information, Surveillance and Privacy (CRISP) will welcome Dr Tyne Sumner who is an Australian Research Council DECRA Fellow in English and Digital Humanities at the Australian National University.    Dr Sumner will present a seminar titled 'Gimmick surveillance: espionage, exposure, entertainment'. The discussion will draw on Sianne Ngai's theory of the 'gimmick' to consider how recent cultural forms display a deliberately non-reflexive, or ambivalent, attitude towards contemporary surveillance technologies -- in exchange for staging surveillance as a gimmick for mainstream public consumption. What does the increasing prevalence of this attitude mean for surveillance studies and public attitudes to data collection, privacy and government monitoring?    For more details, including how to join the seminar, see the 'More information...' link below. https://events.st-andrews.ac.uk/events/crisp-online-seminar-2/
