| Summary: | This article seeks to question diversions of and negotiations around ICT-mediated surveillance, as well as their eventual critical scope. Our analysis relies on ethnographic data collected during two field studies – one dealing with surveillance of call centre employees, the other one with prisoners’ electronic tags. We examine the ways in which those under surveillance play with the normative gaps of these devices to demystify surveillance equipment, or even manipulate it to distort data collection. These sociotechnical surveillance systems do not completely reduce uncertainty. This uncertainty is mobilized by those supervised to bypass the system or produce conformity. Practices such as these seem to have a limited critical scope because they deal with the concrete conditions of surveillance rather than with the philosophy on which the system are built. |
