DESCRIPTION:The problem of privacy has emerged as a major preoccupation fo
 r those thinking about the politics of the digital. However\, the public d
 iscourse on privacy — on how to define and to protect it — has typical
 ly failed to articulate precisely what is at stake. \n\nMoreover\, concern
 s about privacy have a long history which pre-dates the rise of digital cu
 lture\, and which have been expressed in a range of different forms\, from
  dystopian novels and films\, legal judgments and political leaks and scan
 dals. The problem of privacy has been repeatedly reconfigured with the arr
 ival of new technologies of writing\, reading and communication. It is wit
 h this sense of historical change in mind that this workshop will bring to
 gether researchers in sociology\, history\, computing and law\, with campa
 igners and policy-makers\, journalists\, psychologists and literary critic
 s in order to develop a richer perspective on the meaning of privacy and i
 ts importance in the past\, present and future. \n\nA keynote address will
  be delivered by Christena Nippert-Eng\, author of _Islands of Privacy_ ah
 ead of panel discussions including Barbara Taylor\, Josh Cohen\, Mary Aike
 n\, Eric King and David Vincent.\n\nFor more information and to register\,
