Citizens’ Narratives on Technology\, Privacy\, and Governan ce\n\nDate: Friday\, February 14\, 2025\n Time: 10:30 AM -12:00 PM\n Locatio n: Armstrong building\, room 155A\n\nAll are cordially invited to attend. \n\n\nAbstract:\n\nDigital surveillance is a daily and all-encompassing re ality of life in China. This book explores how Chinese citizens make sense of digital surveillance and live with it. It investigates their imaginari es about surveillance and privacy from within the Chinese socio-political system. Based on in-depth qualitative research interviews\, detailed diary notes\, and extensive documentation\, Ariane Ollier-Malaterre strives to ‘de-Westernize’ the internet and surveillance literature. She shows how th e research participants weave a cohesive system of anguishing narratives o n China’s moral shortcomings and redeeming narratives on the government an d technology as civilizing forces. Although many participants cast digital surveillance as indispensable in China\, their misgivings\, objections\, and the mental tactics they employ to dissociate themselves from surveilla nce convey the mental and emotional weight associated with such surveillan ce exposure. The author also reflects on fieldwork in China as a foreign r esearcher. She discusses the choices she has made to reduce her Eurocentri c biases and what she has learned about interviewing in a context of polit ical censorship.\n DTSTART:20250214T153000Z DTEND:20250214T170000Z LOCATION:Room 155A\, Donald E.
