The Role of Digital Data on Citizens in Social Work Research: A Literature Review
This article presents a scoping review of the existing research on the use of digital data in social work. This review focuses on research that includes empirical investigations of digital data on citizens in social work practices. The purpose of this review is to map the emerging field of research and contribute knowledge of the role of digital data on citizens in social work. This review includes twenty-eight articles published between 2013 and…
Privacy encounters in Teledialogue
Privacy is a major concern when new technologies are introduced between public authorities and private citizens. What is meant by privacy, however, is often unclear and contested. Accordingly, this article utilises grounded theory to study privacy empirically in the research and design project Teledialogue aimed at introducing new ways for public case managers and placed children to communicate through IT. The resulting argument is that privacy c…
CCTV in Denmark 1954-1982
The article describes how CCTV has evolved in Denmark from 1954, where it is first mentioned in a specialist journal, to 1982, where legislation is passed that regulates how CCTV can be used and by whom. The article identifies four technological frames in which CCTV is placed in the period. Three of these are ‘use-directed’ as they point to various ways of using CCTV and identify certain advantages and obstacles for this use. These three frames a…
Spaces of everyday surveillance: Unfolding an analytical concept of participation
Overvågning som situeret praksis – et teoretisk bidrag til overvågningsforskningen
To metaforer, Big Brother og panoptikon, dominerer diskussioner om overvågnings generelle karakteristika. På trods af forskelle bidrager de begge til at skabe en bekymret og kritisk indstilling til fænomenet og rummer derved nogle væsentlige analytiske begrænsninger. Med udgangspunkt i Donna Haraways begreb om ”situeret viden” og Bruno Latours begreb om ”oligoptikon” udvikler artiklen en alternativ forståelse, hvor overvågning ses som et situeret…
Situated Surveillance: An ethnographic study of fisheries inspection in Denmark
The field of surveillance studies has gained momentum and with that broadened its empirical gaze to include an increasing number of practices. Yet, the theoretical understanding of surveillance has not developed at the same pace.In this article two dominating metaphors, Big Brother and the panopticon, are critically discussed, and it is argued that fresh theoretical and methodological resources are needed. Using the work of Haraway and Latour the…
Videnskabelighed i et cyborg-perspektiv - TV-programmet Big Brother som videnskabeligt eksperiment
Scientificity in a cyborg-approach By what criteria can it be decided whether a statement is scientific or not? Some scholars stress the objectivity of the statement, whereas subjective dimensions of the scientific activity are viewed as bias ideally to be removed. Others abandon the notion of objectivity as the ideal of research, and view scientific authority as an instrument of power. The purpose of this article is to establish a perspective on…
Globalisering og "forestillede verdener": En kvalitativ undersøgelse baseret på børnetegninger fra to landsbyer i Peru
Globalization and ’’Imagined Worlds’’: A Qualitative Study of Children’s Drawings from Two Villages in Peru Globalization is sometimes described in terms of flows delivering resources for the construction of virtual, global worlds. However, the relation between the presence of flows and the actual construction of new imagined worlds is often only assumed and lacks empirical exploration. By analysing drawings made by children in two settlements in…
Reading Digital Denmark: IT Reports as Material-Semiotic Actors
During the past decade, several governmental reports have discussed how information technology can transform Danish society. Most important among these reports is Digital Denmark from 1999.In this article, the authors examine how to analyze Digital Denmark by considering two strategies for engaging reports. The first aims at uncovering and making explicit hidden assumptions or ideologies in the text. This approach is called "reading against the t…
Qualitative research as partial connection: Bypassing the Power-Knowledge Nexus
Qualitative research and methods are often imagined as relating to a problematic, which we here term the power-knowledge nexus. We argue that the dichotomy between power and knowledge, instantiated, for example, by recent postmodern contributions to the field, is theoretically and empirically problematic and suggest that they are organized around a 'bad problem' (Deleuze, 1991). This characterization points us towards an exploration of theoretica…
Drawing development: Analysing local understandings of development in three Andean communities
This article shows how local understandings of development can be researched empirically by reference to experiences presented from three drawing workshops performed with children in the Ayacucho region in the Peruvian Andes. The children were asked to draw pictures from their community, as they would like it to become in the future. Their drawings are analysed by using an adapted form of Grounded Theory, and further interpreted as expressions of…
