This edited collection examines the multi-faceted phenomenon of
transparency, especially in its relation to social movements, from
a range of multi-disciplinary viewpoints. Over the past few
decades, transparency has become an omnipresent catch phrase in
public and scientific debates. The volume tracks developments of
ideas and practices of transparency from the eighteenth century to
the current day, as well as their semantic, cultural and social
preconditions. It connects analyses of the ideological implications
of transparency concepts and transparency claims with their impact
on the public sphere in general and on social movements in
particular. In doing so, the book contributes to a better
understanding of social conflicts and power relations in modern
societies. The chapters are organized into four parts, covering the
concept and ideology of transparency, historical and recent
developments of the public sphere and media, the role of the state
as an agent of surveillance, and conflicts over transparency and
participation connected to social movements.
