Surveillance and transparency are both significant and increasingly
pervasive activities in neoliberal societies. Surveillance is taken
up as a means to achieving security and efficiency; transparency is
seen as a mechanism for ensuring compliance or promoting informed
consumerism and informed citizenship. Indeed, transparency is often
seen as the antidote to the threats and fears of surveillance. This
book adopts a novel approach in examining surveillance practices
and transparency practices together as parallel systems of
accountability. It presents the house of mirrors as a new framework
for understanding surveillance and transparency practices
instrumented with information technology. The volume centers around
five case studies: Campaign Finance Disclosure, Secure Flight,
American Red Cross, Google, and Facebook. A series of themed
chapters draw on the material and provide cross-case analysis. The
volume ends with a chapter on policy implications.
