Contents:
Concepts: the need for a modest but persistent analyticity -- Defining the terms of surveillance studies -- So what's new? : classifying means for change and continuity -- So what's old?: classifying goals for continuity and change -- The stuff of surveillance: varieties of personal information -- Social processes -- Social processes in surveillance -- A tack in the shoe and taking the shoe off: resistance and counters to resistance -- Culture and contexts -- Work: the omniscient organization measures everything that moves -- Children: slap that baby's bottom, embed that ID chip, and let it begin -- The private within the public: psychological report on Tom I. Voire -- A mood apart: what's wrong with Tom? -- Government and more: a speech by Hon. Rocky Bottoms to the Society for the Advancement of Professional Surveillance -- Ethics and policy -- Techno-fallacies of the information age -- An ethics for the new (and old) surveillance -- Windows into hearts and souls: clear, tinted, or opaque today? -- Appendix: a note on values: neither technophobe nor technophile.
Summary: In Windows into the Soul, Gary T. Marx sums up a lifetime of work on issues of surveillance and social control by disentangling and parsing the empirical richness of watching and being watched. Ultimately, Marx argues, recognizing complexity and asking the right questions is essential to bringing light and accountability to the darker, more iniquitous corners of our emerging surveillance society.
