(Online) UCPH - Privacy challenged in past, present and future: a multi-disciplinary approach
10 August 2020 – 21 August 2020
Hosted by the University of Copenhagen
Everybody agrees that privacy is essential, but no authoritative definition exists. Recent technological innovations have incited a general concern with privacy, but also narrowed our understanding.
Among the topics treated in the course are:
- Privacy and surveillance: from early modern Quartermasters to the tracking of digital footprints
- Privacy and citizen archives: from parish registers to DNA-registers
- Privacy in society: from potential societal threat to human right
- Privacy and the self: subjectivity past and present
- Architectural framing of private space: from communal alcoves to glass facades
- Politics and diplomacy between public and private: from princely mirrors to tweeting presidents
- Representing privacy
