Discussions around digital technologies, new media, platforms and information have long centred on the protection of personal data and privacy. This timely volume extends the conversation to address fundamental societal and structural issues from three perspectives: people, practices and politics.

Organised around an international collection of case studies, the book provides a valuable contribution to our understanding of the challenges of privacy in the digital sphere, from emerging regulatory programmes to surveillance capitalism and big tech companies.

Taking a multidisciplinary approach, this is a new and innovative perspective on our datafied societies that goes beyond privacy. It will be a key resource for scholars and students of communication and media studies, and science and technology studies.

Reviews for Beyond Privacy: People, Practices, Politics

“As privacy becomes ever more contested and its usefulness as a term or aim is increasingly challenged, its value and role is tied to other concepts, other uses and specific contexts. By asking what privacy can (or can’t) do in those contexts, the collection engages in interdisciplinary debates that respond to the particular challenges that privacy concerns face today. The collection will be an interesting and useful read to anyone working in the areas of privacy, data, surveillance and connected sociotechnical ecosystems.” Garfield Benjamin, University of Cambridge
