Description
Cracking open the politics of transparency and secrecy
In an era of open data and ubiquitous dataveillance, what does it mean to share This book argues that we are all shareveillant subjects, called upon to be transparent and render data open at the same time as the security state invests in practices to keep data closed. Drawing on Jacques Rancires distribution of the sensible, Clare Birchall reimagines sharing in terms of a collective political relationality beyond the veillant expectations of the state.
