Never before has so much been known about so many. CCTV cameras, TSA scanners, NSA databases, big data marketers, predator drones, “stop and frisk” tactics, Facebook algorithms, hidden spyware, and even old-fashioned nosy neighbors—surveillance has become so ubiquitous that we take its presence for granted. While many types of surveillance are pitched as ways to make us safer, almost no one has examined the unintended consequences of living under constant scrutiny and how it changes the way we think and feel about the world. In Under Surveillance, Randolph Lewis offers a highly original look at the emotional, ethical, and aesthetic challenges of living with surveillance in America since 9/11. Taking a broad and humanistic approach, Lewis explores the growth of surveillance in surprising places, such as childhood and nature. He traces the rise of businesses designed to provide surveillance and security, including those that cater to the Bible Belt’s houses of worship. And he peers into the dark side of playful surveillance, such as eBay’s online guide to “Fun with Surveillance Gadgets.” A worried but ultimately genial guide to this landscape, Lewis helps us see the hidden costs of living in a “control society” in which surveillance is deemed essential to governance and business alike. Written accessibly for a general audience, Under Surveillance prompts us to think deeply about what Lewis calls “the soft tissue damage” inflicted by the culture of surveillance.

Teenagers in the US hear mixed messages about sexuality from the people and institutions around them. These social norms are important for understanding teen sexuality because they shape teens' sexual behaviours and because the negative sanctioning of norm violators affects teens' lives. Struggles over norms and enforcement around teen sexuality are also a major cultural battleground in US society today. Based on 133 in-depth interviews with college students and teen mothers and fathers, this work reveals teenagers' fascinating and complicated social worlds of communication and silence, rules and inconsistencies, control and evasion, hidden behaviours and threatened reputations. The text develops theoretical tools for understanding norms and social control in ways that attend to social inequalities and emphasize conflict and change.

Le point de départ de cette étude réside dans la volonté dʹinterroger la croyance, aussi répandue que massive, selon laquelle la domination serait naturelle aux hommes et aux animaux. Puissance et faiblesse relèveraient d'un ordre naturel des choses. Les auteurs s'attachent à déconstruire cette idée afin de poser les fondements à partir desquels peut s'édifier une pensée de l'émancipation. ©Electre 2017

Political representation and democracy are at odds and we need new models to organize politics without relying so heavily on elected representatives. Similarly, capitalism undermines markets, as the rich and wealthy shield their assets and make them untenable for average earners. Elitism thus undermines both democracy and markets and we need to devise ways to limit the power of professional politicians, as well as the asset holdings of the rich so that the goods they hold can re-enter general markets. A broad array of institutions and laws have been enacted in different places and at different times to block economic elitism and protect democratic self-rule. This book presents a number of such cases, historical as well as contemporary, where solutions to the problem of political and economic elitism have successfully been practiced. It then compares these cases systematically, to determine the common factors and hence the necessary conditions for ensuring, and protecting self-rule and equal opportunity. This book encourages the idea that alternatives to representative, capitalist democracy are possible and can be put to practice. --
