2 What is privacy? Autonomy Control Secrecy/Solitude Intimacy versus Reserve Julie E. Cohen 20142

3 How are networked selves configured? Cultural and Technical Shaping: –Situated within cultural and social networks –Perception mediated by artifacts and tools –Naturalization of mediated information flows Agency: The play of everyday practice –Tactical play –Serendipity Julie E. Cohen 20143

4 What is privacy? Functional: Breathing room for self- development Structural: Interstitial spaces within cultural and technical frameworks Julie E. Cohen 20144

5 What is data sharing? Research Participation Surveillance –Observation that is purposeful, routine, systematic, and focused –Purposes: Efficient administration, security, modulation, surplus extraction (Cohen 2013) Julie E. Cohen 20145

6 Political economy of surveillance Great transformations (Polanyi 1957) require resources –18 th century: land, labor, money Transformation to informational capitalism (Castells (1996)) requires different resources –Information, attention, personality, ability –Surveillance as bioprospecting Julie E. Cohen 20146

7 Politics of surveillance Users: Sharing; playing and gamification Developers: Crowd-sourcing and crowds as resources Regulators: Surveillance as innovation States: Securitization (multiple meanings) Julie E. Cohen 20147

8 Some empirics of surveillance Function creep Aggregation and inference “Big Data” and “the end of theory” Technical affordances Julie E. Cohen 20148

9 What does this have to do with ethics? Ethical precepts must align with fundamental commitments to effectively constrain behavior –First, do no harm? The surveillance-innovation complex aligns with other commitments –Science as religion: (almost) nothing forbidden; equal access to knowledge –Technical design: seamlessness, scalability Julie E. Cohen 20149
