<nettime-ann> [call] 2nd Call for Papers: New Geographies of Surveillance |
. New Geographies of Surveillance A double session co-sponsored by Urban Geography Research Group, Political Geography Research Group and Surveillance & Society. Royal Geographical Society / Institute of British Geographers Annual International Conference 2006, 30 August - 1st September 2006 at the Royal Geographical Society with IBG, London *Please note revised submission deadline - 23rd January* Session co-ordinated by: Dr David Murakami Wood, University of Newcastle; Professor Steve Graham, University of Durham; and Dr Nick Fyfe, University of Dundee. With current concern over global terrorism and the 'permanent state of emergency' that constitutes the war on terrorism, surveillance has become a key strategy and a point of conflict and debate. Recent years have seen a massive expansion in surveillance practices and technologies across spatial scales from the body to the global, in settings from the urban, through the natural environment to the virtual, and involving actors from state institutions to private corporations, individual people and nonhumans. The spread and intensification of surveillance has serious sociospatial consequences in every domain from the life-chances of individuals to the fate of nations; and the development and form of cities, urban space and urban culture. This Session will showcase the emerging critical geographies of surveillance. Topics include: * theorising new geographies of surveillance; * local, national, regional and global trends in surveillance; * case studies of new surveillance technologies and practices; * surveillance and the practice of geography (such as GIS and geodemographics); * surveillance, justice and exclusion; * surveillance, governance, regulation and democracy; * surveillance, intelligence, war and terrorism; * surveillance, territoriality and borders; * surveillance, cities and urbanity; * surveillance and crime; * surveillance and the body; * surveillance and the nonhuman; * resistance to surveillance; etc. Please send all submissions, using the abstract submission form at http://www.rgs.org/category.php?Page=ac2006 <http://www.rgs.org/category.php?Page=ac2006> to: mailto:d.f.j.wood@ncl.ac.uk <mailto:d.f.j.wood@ncl.ac.uk> The deadline for all submissions is January 23rd, 2006.
