>Surveillance and Society
>
>Issue 5 (2/3): Smart Borders and Mobilities: Spaces, Zones, Enclosures
>
>Edited by: Louise Amoore, Stephen Marmura, and Mark Salter
>
>Publication date: September 2007
>
>Deadline for submissions: 1st March 2007
>
>Call for Papers
>
>The border has been called the fundamental political institution,
>delineating between inside/outside, us/them, safe/dangerous, known/unknown.
>With the increased ability of state and commercial agents to overcome and
>reinvent traditional sovereign lines, borders are instantiated throughout
>society not simply at border posts but also at airports, in databases,
>through international call centers, and with identity documents.
>Cross-border data-flows may complicate realities already identified as
>problematic within information-based societies. Surveillance practices in
>public spaces, border zones, and the workplace may become both more nuanced
>and more intrusive, as we see with anti-globalization protests, Schengen
>border zones, and in low-wage non-unionized labour shops. The tracking and
>identification of specific individuals or groups by government agencies may
>be intensified. Consumers may be increasingly subjected to 'foreign'
>marketing and advertising strategies not legally sanctioned within their
>own societies. Citizens may have data transmitted and analyzed far from the
>point of origin or of collection in the cases of passenger profiling or the
>more general war on terror. Wider and wider risk groups are being
>surveilled in ways that circumvent or restructure borders.
>
>
>Surveillance and Society is seeking papers that examine how borders produce
>or reinforce spaces, zones, or enclosures and the processes, structures,
>and institutions of control that exceed the border. The editors are
>interested in how the mobility of data itself is transforming, what kinds
>of boundaries and exceptions this produces, how this rearticulates
>relationships between science, law and the political, and how the border is
>realized via data. We are seeking both theoretical and empirical articles
>which illuminate this set of issues. In addition to sociology, the subject
>of borders and surveillance holds relevance for a wide range of academic
>disciplines including geography, law, cultural anthropology, philosophy,
>and political science.  We encourage contributions which draw attention to
>geo-demographic, legal, cultural, ethical, technological, political and/or
>social-economic aspects of data-flows.
>
>
>
>Possible topics of interest include:
>
>Implications for privacy in cross-border data-flows;
>
>Effect of RFID or biometric technologies on both identity documents and
>border policing;
>
>Dataveillance of financial transactions by both commercial enterprises and
>governments;
>
>Strategies of risk displacement and risk management through
>knowledge-industries;
>
>International surveillance of marginal or "dangerous" populations;
>
>International comparative studies of state approaches to the governance of
>cross-border data;
>
>Comparisons between corporate vs. state influence over data-flows;
>
>Divergences in relevant public attitudes towards privacy and personal data
>flows in different countries;
>
>Parallels and anomalies concerning data-flows and international flows of
>goods, currency and persons.
>
>
>Submissions should be sent electronically to Emily Smith at
><mailto:smithea at post.queensu.ca>smithea at post.queensu.ca by March 1st 2007
>with a publication date of September 2007.
>
>We welcome full academic papers, opinion pieces, review pieces, poetry,
