Preliminary Announcement: Call for Papers - Issue 2(3) 6. History of Surveillance Book Proposal 1. Foucault Issue a success! Our Foucault and Panoticism Revisisted Issue http://www.surveillance-and-society.org/journalv1i3.htm has been the best received so far with positive comments all round and hits on the site now exceeding 20,000 for our first three issues. 2. Mobilities Issue Out Soon. The next Issue (and last of this volume), Surveillance and Mobilities, has been delayed for various reasons which the Issue Editors , Colin Bennett and Pris Regan, have been working hard to sort out. It should be out by the end of the year. Looks like another good one! 3. Final Call for Papers - Issue 2(1) The delays to the Mobilities Issue have meant that we have been able to extend our deadline for the first issue of Volume 2. This will be a general issue with no specific theme - as long as it's about surveillance of course! The deadline will be Friday, December 19th, 2003. Can authors who have submitted papers already please note that we will not be sending papers out for review for this issue until the beginning of December. 4. Surveillance & Society Conference & Issue 2(2) Surveillance & Society is having its first ever conference - 'CCTV and Social Control. The politics and practice of videosurveillance: European and Global perspectives'. This will be held in conjucntion with the Centre For Criminological Research at the University of Sheffield from 8th-9th January, 2004. The website is at: http://www.sheffield.ac.uk/ccr/publicity/conference/index.html It will feature papers from over 50 top surveillance studies researchers and promises to be very exciting. Selected papers from this conference will form Issue 2(2) of Surveillance & Society, and probably an edited book as well. 5. Preliminary Announcement: Call for Papers - Issue 2(3) Issue 2(3) will be have the theme of 'People Watching People' - this could include consideration of non-technologically mediated forms of surveillance, surveillance before modern technologies, the behaviour of both human watchers and the watched, and also personal forms of surveillance including 'human intelligence', tailing, voyeurism and stalking etc. A full call will be posted soon. The deadline for submissions is 30th June 2004. 6. History of Surveillance Book Proposal The Editors of Surveillance & Society will shortly be putting out a call for authors for a book proposal entitled 'A History of Surveillance in the Industrialised World' - this will map the development of surveillance from multiple thematic angles. Look out for this on the website from December 1st, 2003, or go direct to www.surveillance-and-society.org/book.htm after that date. All the best, David.
