SUBVERTING THE PANOPTICON PRIVACY IN THE PUBLIC REALM A Thesis Presented for the Master of Architecture Degree The University of Tennessee, Knoxville Stephen Collins August 2005 .... Acknowledgements Thank you Gianna, with all my love and admiration. ii Abstract The Panopticon, designed by Jeremy Bentham in 1787, is an architectural device based on isolation of people and surveillance - knowledge focused in places of power. The Panopticon was influential as an architectural paradigm, easily adapted to varied uses. Bentham as did other utilitarian eighteenth century philosophers believed the built environment could fabricate virtue. The techniques of the Panopticon were applied to the central task of fabricating normality, rather than the peripheral task of rectifying abnormality. Michel Foucault brought the moral engineering to the fore and showed that it was put in place to conduct 'normatively self-disciplining subjects.' As normative control methods became more prevalent methods of privacy protection developed in parallel. The notion of sensibility the personal consciousness required to guarantee a preferred normative response­ emerged as one method to ensure privacy and protect social appearances. This thesis will develop a language for architecture analogous to sensibility. Just as all people remain ultimately unknowable, the thesis will highlight false truths hypocrisy, defiance and conformity and balance opposites. The vehicle used to explore the tenuous line of sensibility is a Planned Parenthood facility in Charleston, SC. The site is an abandon eighteenth century jail, which is representative of the eighteenth century prison reform movement. The ironic pairing of program and site, combined with the security concerns creates an opportunity to decipher the subtle language of subversion. ! I~ II iii - Table of Contents I.

Never before had an explicit architecture been associated with prison design and other programs requiring segregation and surveillance. 1 Jeremy Bentham's Panopticon is not only the paradigm for utilitarian eighteenth-century prisons, it is also a model of how systems of power are successfully operated and maintained in modem thought and space. The Panopticon was a product of the English prison reform movement but is not limited to carceral applications just the same, panoptic architecture is not limited to prisons. ThePanopticon is most directly associated with prisons, but the application of the panoptic philosophy is broad. The inspiration for the Panopticon came from a mill designed by Bentham's brother. Bentham and others proposed greater applications, including schools, hospitals and even rotating chicken COOpS. 2 The Panopticon was influential as an architectural paradigm, easily adapted to varied uses. The influence, however, was often surreptitious.] The Panopticon is an architectural device based on isolation of people and surveillance knowledge focused in places of power. As behavior control methods became more prevalent in the eighteenth century, methods of privacy protection developed in parallel. The effects of privacy, both spatial and mental, were explored in the early modem period in social policy, architecture and literature. The notion of 1 Evans 1982, 2. 2 Evans 1982, 24. 3 Evans 1982, 34. 1 sensibility - the personal consciousness required to guarantee a preferred normative response - emerged as one method to ensure privacy and protect social appearances.

  • Personality Rights in Australia1
    SWIMMERS, SURFERS, AND SUE SMITH PERSONALITY RIGHTS IN AUSTRALIA1 Therese Catanzariti2 It is somewhat of a misnomer to talk about personality rights in Australia. First, personality rights are not “rights” in the sense of positive rights, a right to do something, or in the sense of proprietary rights, property that can be assigned or mortgaged. Second, personality rights are largely a US law concept, derived from US state law relating to the “right of publicity”. However, it is common commercial practice that Australian performers, actors and sportstars enter endorsement or sponsorship agreements.3 In addition, the Australian Media and Entertainment Arts Alliance, the Australian actors union, insists that the film and television industrial agreements and awards don’t cover merchandising and insist film and television producers enter individual agreements if they want to use an actor’s image in merchandising.4 This paper considers Australian law5 relating to defamation, passing off, and section 52 of the Trade Practices Act,6 draws parallels with US law relating to the right of publicity, and considers whether there is a developing Australian jurisprudence of “personality rights”. Protecting Personality Acknowledging and protecting personality rights protects privacy. But protecting privacy is not the focus and is an unintended incidental. Protecting personality rights protects investment, and has more in common with unfair competition than privacy. Acknowledging and protecting personality rights protects investment in creating and maintaining a carefully manicured public image, an investment of time labour, skill and cash. This includes spin doctors and personal trainers and make-up artists and plastic surgeons and making sure some stories never get into the press.

  • Urals Factory Hospitals and Surgeons at the Dawn of the Nineteenth Century
    Medical History, 1978, 22: 119-137. URALS FACTORY HOSPITALS AND SURGEONS AT THE DAWN OF THE NINETEENTH CENTURY by BASIL HAIGH* INTRODUCTION: THE INDUSTRY AND ITS PROBLEMS AT THE BEGINNING of the nineteenth century 128 mines and metallurgical factories were in operation in the Ural Mountains. Many had been destroyed in Pugachev's rebellion (1773) but they had been quickly rebuilt. As a result of periodic changes in government policy in the previous century, when private enterprise was alternately encouraged and discouraged, twenty-four of the factories' belonged to the Crown and the rest (the ownership of one is not clear) were privately owned. The 128 factories were spread over a territory about equal in area to the entire United Kingdom. They depended for their communications on rivers which were frozen for half the year and on post roads which were frequently impassable. The metallurgical industry was semi-military in character and was administered on military lines. Recruiting the labour force in the sparsely populated and remote region of the Urals was always a difficult problem and various solutions were tried. The Ukase of 18 January 17212 empowered the nobility and merchants to purchase villages to obtain serf labour for factory work, with safeguards to ensure that peasants thus obtained were in fact used for that purpose. Otherwise convicts were employed, supplemented by a steady influx of children and by a leavening of skilled workers and "masters", who were often foreigners or foreign-trained. This system, inefficient and wasteful of manpower, made it necessary to have an enormous population of perma- nent and seasonal workers, with their families, at the factories and, consequently, it increased the need for some form of health service.3 The factory population was further increased by the military garrison needed both to maintain internal order and to protect the factory and its inhabitants against external attack by hostile neighbours.

  • The Right to Privacy and the Future of Mass Surveillance’
    ‘The Right to Privacy and the Future of Mass Surveillance’ ABSTRACT This article considers the feasibility of the adoption by the Council of Europe Member States of a multilateral binding treaty, called the Intelligence Codex (the Codex), aimed at regulating the working methods of state intelligence agencies. The Codex is the result of deep concerns about mass surveillance practices conducted by the United States’ National Security Agency (NSA) and the United Kingdom Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ). The article explores the reasons for such a treaty. To that end, it identifies the discriminatory nature of the United States’ and the United Kingdom’s domestic legislation, pursuant to which foreign cyber surveillance programmes are operated, which reinforces the need to broaden the scope of extraterritorial application of the human rights treaties. Furthermore, it demonstrates that the US and UK foreign mass surveillance se practices interferes with the right to privacy of communications and cannot be justified under Article 17 ICCPR and Article 8 ECHR. As mass surveillance seems set to continue unabated, the article supports the calls from the Council of Europe to ban cyber espionage and mass untargeted cyber surveillance. The response to the proposal of a legally binding Intelligence Codexhard law solution to mass surveillance problem from the 47 Council of Europe governments has been so far muted, however a soft law option may be a viable way forward. Key Words: privacy, cyber surveillance, non-discrimination, Intelligence Codex, soft law. Introduction Peacetime espionage is by no means a new phenomenon in international relations.1 It has always been a prevalent method of gathering intelligence from afar, including through electronic means.2 However, foreign cyber surveillance on the scale revealed by Edward Snowden performed by the United States National Security Agency (NSA), the United Kingdom Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) and their Five Eyes partners3 1 Geoffrey B.

  • Part 4: Conclusions and Recommendations & Appendices
    Twentieth Century Naval Dockyards Devonport and Portsmouth: Characterisation Report PART FOUR CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS The final focus of this report is to develop the local, national and international contexts of the two dockyards to highlight specific areas of future research. Future discussion of Devonport and Portsmouth as distinct designed landscapes would coherently organise the many strands identified in this report. The Museum of London Archaeology Portsmouth Harbour Hinterland Project carried out for Heritage England (2015) is a promising step in this direction. It is emphasised that this study is just a start. By delivering the aim and objectives, it has indicated areas of further fruitful research. Project aim: to characterise the development of the active naval dockyards at Devonport and Portsmouth, and the facilities within the dockyard boundaries at their maximum extent during the twentieth century, through library, archival and field surveys, presented and analysed in a published report, with a database of documentary and building reports. This has been delivered through Parts 1-4 and Appendices 2-4. Project objectives 1 To provide an overview of the twentieth century development of English naval dockyards, related to historical precedent, national foreign policy and naval strategy. 2 To address the main chronological development phases to accommodate new types of vessels and technologies of the naval dockyards at Devonport and Portsmouth. 3 To identify the major twentieth century naval technological revolutions which affected British naval dockyards. 4 To relate the main chronological phases to topographic development of the yards and changing technological and strategic needs, and identify other significant factors. 5 To distinguish which buildings are typical of the twentieth century naval dockyards and/or of unique interest.

INTRODUCTION Paul Schwartz's InternetPrivacy and the State makes an important and original contribution to the privacy debate that is currently raging by be- ginning the process of framing a new and more useful understanding of what "privacy" is and why and how it should be protected.' The definition developed by Brandeis, Warren,2 and Prosser,3 and effectively codified by Alan Westin in 1967---"the claim of individuals, groups, or institutions to determine for themselves when, how, and to what extent information about them is communicated to others"---worked well in a world in which most privacy concerns involved physical intrusions (usually by the government) or public disclosures (usually by the media), which, by their very nature, were comparatively rare and usually discovered.

    The Right to Privacy in the Digital Age April 9, 2018 Dr. Keith Goldstein, Dr. Ohad Shem Tov, and Mr. Dan Prazeres Presented on behalf of Pirate Parties International Headquarters, a UN ECOSOC Consultative Member, for the Report of the High Commissioner for Human Rights Our Dystopian Present Living in modern society, we are profiled. We accept the necessity to hand over intimate details about ourselves to proper authorities and presume they will keep this information secure- only to be used under the most egregious cases with legal justifications. Parents provide governments with information about their children to obtain necessary services, such as health care. We reciprocate the forfeiture of our intimate details by accepting the fine print on every form we sign- or button we press. In doing so, we enable second-hand trading of our personal information, exponentially increasing the likelihood that our data will be utilized for illegitimate purposes. Often without our awareness or consent, detection devices track our movements, our preferences, and any information they are capable of mining from our digital existence. This data is used to manipulate us, rob from us, and engage in prejudice against us- at times legally. We are stalked by algorithms that profile all of us. This is not a dystopian outlook on the future or paranoia. This is present day reality, whereby we live in a data-driven society with ubiquitous corruption that enables a small number of individuals to transgress a destitute mass of phone and internet media users. In this paper we present a few examples from around the world of both violations of privacy and accomplishments to protect privacy in online environments.
