| Summary: | Drawing upon two public opinion surveys conducted in Geneva in 2015 and
2016, the paper explores how video surveillance was lived and perceived by
the residents of the monitored Pâquis area, as well as by the population
at large. This study shows that the delegation of control to systems and
individuals that are both spatially and socially detached from the monitored
areas also results in a kind of `mental distance' that characterizes the
relation between the monitored individuals and the system: People quickly
forget about the cameras and withdraw from any conscious attempt to imagine
what might be going on behind their back. The system thus gradually loses
its relevance in people's everyday life. This, in turn, limits the symbolic
power of the cameras to enduringly revitalize, and thus to properly
re-territorialize, the monitored areas. |
