We've discussed in this list sometimes about the threats to privacy that Social Networking sometimes entails... In our review of Future Sonic '09, Ruth & I also started to consider whether the whole notion of privacy wasn't already dated and we needed to find news ways to address the pervasiveness of these platforms.

-------------------------------------------------------------- (Originally posted in Networked_Performance) Beyond Privacy New Notions of the Private and Public Domains -------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------- Privacy is a right that protects one’s private life, a right that is not only established by law, but also has a political and a social significance. It can be experienced and observed differently by individuals and groups, depending upon their position in society and the desires and interests that are involved. In Open 19, the concept of privacy is examined and reconsidered from the legal, sociological, media theoretical and activist perspectives. The focus is not so much on deploring the loss of privacy, but taking the present situation of ‘post-privacy’ for what it is and trying to gain insight into what is on the horizon in terms of new subjectivities and power constructions.
