Panopticon
19
Jeremy Bentham (1787) Prison theory of social control
#lbs450
1st Generation Panopticon
• Early 21st century- CCTV in London• Citizens learn & alter behaviour
20
“George Orwell would have been proud and horrified…” (Kietzmann & Angell).
#lbs450
2nd Generation Panopticon
Enables personal information gathering via: • Data mining & profiling,• Loyalty cards• Mobile phones
Problem with cohesion, Panopticon still imperfect
"Behaviour changing intentions hidden behind...desirable outcomes". (Kietzmann & Angell)
21
#lbs450
3rd Generation Panopticon• Outsourcing of policing duties to the general
population.• Ultimate public panopticon can exist by convincing
population to spy on itself.• Social media/ Mobile phone combination (GPS,
tamper-proof time stamps, and facial recognition = public police).
• Cohesion finally realized
22
#lbs450
Nonopticon
• Privacy Infringement = lack of control over ones reputation in the world
• Four major "Privacy Interfaces" 1. Person-to-peer 2. Person-to-firm 3. Person-to-state 4. Person-to-public
"We are no longer in control of our public personae...” (Vaidhyanathan, 2008)
23
#lbs450
Nonopticon
24
• Two arguments against Panopticon theory:
1. Reality TV shows that presence of cameras often stimulates odd behaviour, rather than curbing it.
2. Opposite of Penopticon in that the public is being watched without knowing it (or at least the full extent of it).
“We will be subjects, mere fodder for our watchers, means instead of ends.” (Vaidhyanathan, 2008)
