'A most welcome book on the most neglected of topics by a
pioneering team of interdisciplinary scholars. The volume
illuminates the rendering asunder of the borders that previously
protected personal information, even when the individual was in
''public'' and helps us see the muddying of the simple distinction
between public and private. The book asks what public and private
mean (and should mean) today as smart phones, embedded sensors and
related devices overwhelm the barriers of space, time, physicality,
and inefficiency that previously protected information. This
collection offers a needed foundation for future conceptualization
and research on privacy in literal and virtual public spaces. It
should be in the library of anyone interested in the social, policy
and ethical implications of information technologies.' - Gary T.
Marx, Massachusetts Institute of Technology 'How we should think
about privacy in public spaces in a world of artificial
intelligence and ubiquitous sensors is among the most interesting
and pressing questions in all of privacy studies. This edited
volume brings together some of Europe and America's finest minds to
shed theoretic and practical light on a critical issue of our
time.' - Ryan Calo, University of Washington 'The deepest conundrum
in the privacy world-especially, in light of the internet of other
people's things-is perhaps the notion of privacy in public.
Unraveling this practically Kantian antinomy is the ambitious aim
of this important new collection. Together and apart, this
intriguing assemblage of scientists, social scientists,
philosophers and lawyers interrogate subjects ranging from
conceptual distinctions between ''space'' and ''place'' and the
social practice of ''hiding in plain sight'', to compelling ideas
such as ''privacy pollution'' and the problem of ''out-of-body
DNA''. With this edited volume, the team from TILT has curated a
convincing account of the importance of preserving privacy in
increasingly public spaces.' - Ian Kerr, University of Ottawa,
Canada With ongoing technological innovations such as mobile
cameras, WiFi tracking, drones, and augmented reality, aspects of
citizens' lives are becoming increasingly vulnerable to intrusion.
This book brings together authors from a variety of disciplines
(philosophy, law, political science, economics, and media studies)
to examine privacy in public space from both legal and regulatory
perspectives. The contributors explore the contemporary challenges
to achieving privacy and anonymity in physical public space at a
time when legal protection remains limited in comparison to
`private' space. To address this problem, the book clearly
demonstrates why privacy in public space needs defending. Different
ways of conceptualizing and shaping such protection are explored,
for example through `privacy bubbles', obfuscation and surveillance
transparency, as well as by revising the assumptions underlying
current privacy laws. Scholars and students who teach and study
issues of privacy, autonomy, technology, urban geography and the
law and politics of public spaces will be interested in this book.
