*CfP *for a Proposed Special Issueof /Big Data & Society/
<http://bds.sagepub.com/>, on Veillance and Transparency:  A Critical
Examination of Mutual Watching in the Post-Snowden, Big Data Era
<http://data-psst.bangor.ac.uk/big-data-society.php.en>

Guest Editors: Vian Bakir, Martina Feilzer, Andrew McStay (Bangor Univ.)

We invite papers for a proposed Special Issue in /Big Data and Society/
<http://bds.sagepub.com>/, /Sage’s inter-disciplinary, open access,
peer-reviewed scholarly journal that explores the social implications of
Big Data from social sciences, humanities and computing perspectives.


*Our central proposition*

Today we live in a techno-cultural condition of increased and normalised
transparency through various /veillant/ forces of mutual watching.

*
*

*Our central question*

What are the technical, social, economic, political, legal, ethical and
cultural implications of this situation?

Drawing on the many academic disciplines that deal with issues of
veillance and transparency, we seek theoretical and empirical academic
papers; artistic, activist and educational provocations (the journal can
link to digital versions of these); and shorter commentary from the wide
range of actors involved in these debates (including data regulators,
intelligence and security services, private companies, NGOs, politicians
and journalists).
