Please answer this question in 7-8 double-spaced pages: How does living in a surveillance culture impact self and relationship? ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● Include a bibliography and reference properly using APA style. 14% of course grade Feel free to write in the first person/use “I.” Use a variety of required course readings deeply and extensively to support your argument. Quote and properly reference. By now, we expect that you will have thoroughly reviewed course materials, to the extent necessary for you to fully understand them. For some materials, that means a very careful reading. For others, that might mean a quicker skim. In any case, when you quote our course materials, your choice of quotes should convey the essence of the materials you quote, rather than cherry-picking and inserting quotes that are not relevant to your argument in a core way, and do not represent the intended meaning of the materials. DO NOT use materials from outside of our class. Bold your thesis. Your thesis is the statement (not paragraph) which answers the above question. Define key terms. Be sure to explain surveillance culture (and what is involved in it), the sociological theory of self, and the role of relationship in creating self. We strongly suggest multiple drafts. It’s a great idea to start with a provisional thesis, that is subject to change in later drafts; how do you know exactly what your point will be until you successfully argue it? Good grammar, spelling, and punctuation matter. Conceptual pointers None of the below is, strictly speaking, required for this essay; however, you might find that working through the below concepts, connections, and questions for yourself helps you develop a strong essay that deals extensively with course issues. You may wish to consider the relationships between these concepts: ● entertainment as a cultural value: performativity & the pursuit of fame ● privacy, intimacy, authenticity & bonds ● anxiety, depression, isolation, incivility ● you may want to revisit earlier course concepts, such as social saturation, the robotic moment, and others, as you find them useful in developing your argument. You may find it helpful to consider these questions: ● What is the relationship between social media, surveillance, and social control? ● What is privacy? ● What is the relationship between mass surveillance and societal perceptions of privacy? ● Why is privacy necessary for self, trust, and self-building intimate relationships? ● How is privacy treated in American culture today? ● Is privacy seen as valuable, or even possible, in a culture which prioritizes entertainment and the pursuit of fame? ● Is entertainment culture premised in lack of privacy? ● What is the relationship between the performative self and the private self? Are they mutually exclusive? ● What is the relationship between narcissism, entertainment culture, and the pursuit of fame? ● What are the effects on the “self” and our interpersonal relationships when we live in a society which thrives on entertainment and the creation of a performance version of ourselves? ● How does social saturation affect perception of self, personal relationships, productivity, and so on?
