Although we won't likely have time for all aspects of surveillance in this one course, eventually I would like to see a series of courses on surveillance, covering topics such as:

• The Business of Surveillance (who owns these companies, how big are they, how are they connected to government, the military, and the police, are they profitable, are they growing, what are their views on future developments);
• The Technology of Surveillance (who makes this stuff, how does it work, and where did it come from, where is it going, what is it capable of and not capable of, what are the implications of the transition from analog to digital);
• The Law for Surveillance (what is allowed, what isn't allowed, who cares and over what aspects of our lives);
• Surveillance and Culture (the films and beyond to visual art, literature, and even music);
• Surveillance in Everyday Life (the malls, the car parks, the home web cams);
• Surveillance Psychology (what does it mean to be watched?, do people fear it, react to it, ignore it, relish it? what about the watchers? when does it switch from boring to a perversion?);
• Surveillance Theory (who writes about this, what theories do they use to account for it, and how has that changed over the past few decades? What is the critical perspective? What theory is specific to surveillance and which theories are generic to society and technology?)

I am sure we can find a few more topics, if we dig further.
