| Abstract | "This book focuses on how surveillance is defined, discussed, and negotiated in public discourses. It analyses different meaning components of the cultural keyword of surveillance - inherently linked to power relations - in ongoing debates of public discourses. Through the compilation and analysis of specialised corpora, the book captures expert definitions and scholarly debates about surveillance, developments in newspaper representations towards a "surveillance society", and public signage pointing to analogue and digital surveillant practices. This book contributes new insights into meaning-making patterns of surveillance and makes a strong case for the role of corpus methods in the emerging 'sociolinguistics of surveillance'"-- Provided by publisher. |
