The introduction of digital technologies into agriculture: Space, materiality and the public–private interacting forms of authority and expertise
This article examines critically how digital technologies are being introduced into agriculture. The authors argue that this introduction takes place through the interacting forms of expertise and coalitions of authority in relation to both private and public players in smart farming initiatives. The piece adds to current debates about the origins of and driving forces behind emerging technologies for agriculture through the investigation of two …

Interacting forms of expertise and authority in mega-event security: The example of the 2010 Vancouver Olympic Games
This paper explores the interests, forms of expertise and sources of authority in security governance at the 2010 Vancouver Olympic Games. To do so, the research approach pursued here focuses on the micro level, locating the various contributions to event security in the context of a particular range of projects and decisions relating to the planning and instauration of Olympic venue security. On this basis, the paper empirically explores how sec…

Interpretative Flexibility of the Event‐City: Security, Branding and Urban Entrepreneurialism at the European Football Championships 2008
Sport mega‐events not only give rise to major economic and socio‐cultural opportunities for host cities and nations, but also arouse increased local, national and international security concerns. This article, which focuses on the European Football Championships 2008 in Austria and Switzerland (Euro 2008), seeks to link business and security issues associated with sport mega‐events. More specifically, it sets out to investigate the ‘interpretativ…
Thinking through Territoriality: Introducing Claude Raffestin to Anglophone Sociospatial Theory
This introductory paper establishes the grounds for a more sustained discussion of Claude Raffestin's understanding of human territoriality in its contribution to contemporary geographical debates. The purpose is to highlight the broad, and fundamentally interrelated, philosophical, epistemological, and political ambitions of Raffestin's work, before elucidating some of the key conceptual pillars of his relational thinking through territoriality.…
Revisiting the surveillance camera revolution: Issues of governance and public policy. Introduction to part one of the Special Issue
First paragraph: Video surveillance cameras and systems - commonly referred to as Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) - are a defining feature of modern society. Their widespread use, as fixed or mobile devices, deployed for a range of purposes and by a variety of public and private actors, is now unsurprising and generally accepted in most countries. The normality of these surveillance practices, and the technologies used, are a world away from the…

Splintering Spheres of Security: Peter Sloterdijk and the Contemporary Fortress City
The paper brings together Peter Sloterdijk's 'theory of spheres' with urban studies literature on the forms and effects of the contemporary urban security agenda, in order to investigate the relationships between the material and (atmo)spherical dimensions of the splintering spaces of security in the contemporary fortress city. The paper hence seeks to conceptualise securitisation strategies not only as spatially articulated measures of surveilla…
Lost’ Surveillance Studies: A critical review of French work on CCTV
In recent years, the rapidly developing field of ‘surveillance studies’ has sparked a remarkable and revealing body of research, which has led to repeated claims to recognise ‘surveillance studies’ as a cross-disciplinary field of research in its own right. However, the almost exclusive reliance of these independency claims upon Anglophone references raises a series of important questions: Must we conclude that other linguistic traditions in surv…

Disturbances in the Sensory Experience of the City: CCTV and the Development of an Unreal Urban “Parallel World
In order to emphasize the importance of understanding the experience of the city as one that includes all human senses, this article focuses on the increasing use of CCTV in city centers. As we can see by looking at the array of monitors within control rooms of CCTV systems, surveillance cameras contribute to the development of a "parallel world" created by the assemblage of decontextualized images coming from monitored places throughout the city…
