Surveillance is becoming the omnipresent and ubiquitous element dreamt by sci-fi novelists and writers. What is the influence of urban surveillance and control upon our understanding and experience of space? As urban beings, how do we behave under the constant surveillance of other people, the State and the market? Does this change the way space and place are perceived, built and experienced by us?
These and many other questions bear in mine and other colleagues minds, who wonder what are going to be the implications of the escalating use of surveillance and methods of control for places, for space and for our cities.
With the presence of many scholars from different parts of the world (David Murakami Wood, David Lyon, Nelson Arteaga Botello and Luiz Antonio Machado da Silva), Marta Kanashiro, Fernanda Bruno and I are organising the international symposium Surveillance, Security and Social Control in Latin America, to take place at PUCPR in Curitiba (Brazil), 4-6 March 2009.
