dc.description.abstractThe _Essay discusses the relation between surveillance and imagination. It unfolds the argument that surveillance as a form of (political) oppression is necessarily cen-tering on a decisionistic act of the individual who has to opt for deviant or conformist behavior under conditions of obvious social and political surveillance. Today, how-ever, especially due to processes of an ongoing digitalization, surveillance is becom-ing a mode of self-expression, experiencing a shift towards its habituation and nor-malization within social reality. This development marks a clear difference from the classic habituation of surveillance as estranged, governmental practice. What seems to remain intact with regard to contemporary concepts of surveillance is the im-portance of the view and the meaning of surveillance as a politics of the image and the imaginary.en
