>Public debates over the use of information and 
>identification technologies, such as profiling 
>targeted groups and contentious arguments over 
>the use of CCTV in public spaces, clearly show 
>that surveillance-based practices are highly 
>contested political territory within and across 
>contemporary societies. And yet, despite a 
>wealth of recent literature on surveillance in 
>its various configurations, scholars have paid 
>relatively little attention to issues of 
>resistance of these technologies. This special 
>issue will address this deficit by collecting 
>and publishing papers that foreground questions 
>as to whether surveillance can be successfully 
>resisted and, if so, how resistance could be 
>engendered. To this end, we seek papers from 
>various disciplines and theoretical standpoints 
>that explore the following areas:
>
>*       The formation of anti-surveillance 
>movements; conventional and non-conventional 
>modes of challenging surveillance;
>
>*       The potentiality of using sousveillance 
>and/or forms of counter-surveillance as means of 
>engendering resistance to publicly and/or 
>privately sponsored surveillance schemes;
>
>*       The use of anti-surveillance 
>technologies (such as disabling, encryption and 
>anonymizer tools);
>
>*       The creation of simulated identities and 
>other deceptions aimed at subverting 
>surveillance;
>
>*       Resistance through constitutional and legislative measures;
>
>*       Resistance through the use of privacy 
>structures, such as data protection 
>commissioners;
>
>*       Resistance from within bureaucracies and 
>agencies of social control, including both 
>every-day and/or organized modes of resistance 
>(for example, workers lobbying for the removal 
>of systems that surveil them). This may also 
>include resistance through the translation (or 
>selective deployment) of surveillance systems 
>(for example, teachers in public schools helping 
>students circumvent extreme, 
>surveillance-enabled school discipline), and;
>
>*       The question of whether resistance to 
>surveillance is ultimately possible in the short 
>or long term.
>
>These topics are offered as suggestions, and we 
>are also open to other subjects not outlined 
>above that speak to resistance to surveillance 
>as a special theme of scholarship, including art 
>work.
