Deploying empirical studies spanning from early Imperial China to
the present day, 17 scholars from across the globe explore the
history of surveillance with special attention to the mechanisms of
power that impel the concept of surveillance in society. By delving
into a broad range of historical periods and contexts, the book
sheds new light on surveillance as a societal phenomenon, offering
10 in-depth, applied analyses that revolve around two main
questions: * Who are the central actors in the history of
surveillance? * What kinds of phenomena have been deemed eligible
for surveillance, for example, information flows, political
movements, border-crossing trade, interacting with foreign states,
workplace relations, gender relations, andsexuality?
