This book critically engages with the idea of transparency whose
ubiquitous demand stands in stark contrast to its lack of
conceptual clarity. The book carefully examines this notion in its
own right, traces its emergence in Early Modernity and analyzes its
omnipresence in contemporary rhetoric. Today, transparency has
become a catchword outplaying other Enlightenment values like
empowerment, sincerity and the notion of a public sphere. In a
suspicious manner, transparency is entangled in the discourses on
power, surveillance, and self-exposure. Bringing together prominent
scholars from the emerging field of Critical Transparency Studies,
the book offers a map of the various sites at which transparency
has become virulent and connects the dots between past and present.
By studying its appearances in today's hyper-mediated economies of
information and by linking it back to its historical roots, the
book analyzes transparency and its discontents, and scrutinizes the
reasons why it has become the imperative of a supposedly
post-ideological age.
