Hysterie:Een cultuurdiagnose
No full textFilosoof en criminoloog Marc Schuilenburg onderzoekt in Hysterie. Een cultuurdiagnose het begrip hysterie, en laat zien dat ze overal is in onze cultuur.'Wees niet bang voor de hysterie, want ze bestaat niet,' zo beweert de DSM. Volgens deze bijbel van psychologen en artsen is de hysterie verdwenen, niet meer van deze tijd. Maar als de hysterie iets is van het verleden, waarom is ze dan zo aanwezig in het heden? Of het nu gaat over de beeldvorming over asielzoekers, het jaarlijkse kookpunt rond Zwarte Piet of het collectieve gevoel van onveiligheid, hysterie is een vast verschijnsel in onze cultuur. Hysterie: een fascinerend begripMedici, historici, criminologen, psychoanalytici en filosofen, maar ook schilders, schrijvers en filmmakers hebben zich allemaal beziggehouden met de hysterie. Ondanks de eeuwenlange fascinatie voor de hysterie is de betekenis ervan vaag en omstreden. Er is altijd discussie geweest over wat er nu wel en wat er niet onder moet worden begrepen, en zelfs over de vraag of ze überhaupt bestond. Die discussie duurt nog steeds voort, getuige ook de DSM. Daarom onderzoekt Marc Schuilenburg wat hysterie is en waarom ze juist nu overal de kop opsteekt
The algorithmic society
Get PDFAlgorithmic applications are increasingly central to how our society is governed. Even though automation and digitalisation are not new, this chapter suggests that algorithmic governance is different in the sense that: (1) it allows for full automation that designs human agency out of decision-making processes; (2) it is embedded in a broader information architecture; and (3) it is no longer limited to automating decision-making procedures, but is also used to predict, nudge and constrain human behaviour through predictive algorithms. The assumption is that algorithms allow for more efficient and fairer decision-making than humans are ever capable of. We argue, however, that the eradication of the human factor in decision-making, the one-sided focus on efficiency, and the use of computational analyses for control, surveillance and prevention should lead to a more critical attitude
Vier handvatten voor betrouwbare algoritmische toepassingen in het politiewerk
Get PDFMarc Schuilenburg en Martijn Wessels geven vier handvatten voor het ontwerp en de inzet van algoritmische toepassingen bij de politie. Naast de vraag naar de meerwaarde ervan dienen ze te worden getoetst aan internationale wet- en regelgeving. Daarnaast kunnen gebruikers en burgers meer worden betrokken bij het ontwerp en invoering ervan. Ook wordt aandacht gevraagd voor regelmatige periodieke evaluaties van algoritmische toepassingen
Making Surveillance Public:Why You Should Be More Woke About AI and Algorithms
No full textWhat are the new questions raised by AI for the prevention and detection of crime? How can we rationalise the Amazon Ring doorbell and Tesla’s Sentry Mode? How can algoracism be identified, and what should we think of data donation? Surveillance today cannot be understood without an awareness of how AI and algorithms have become increasingly central in the governance of security. They have led to a substantial expansion in the depth and breadth of surveillance, ranging from mass data collection to mass invasion of privacy. In Making Surveillance Public, Marc Schuilenburg explores the deployment of AI applications, asking who is using them, what their aims are, what outcomes and societal impacts they lead to, and against whom they are used. To this end, he makes a case for a digital criminology centred on sociological questions of power, knowledge and AI-experiences
Hysteria:Crime, Media, and Politics
No full textAccording to the medical world, hysteria is a thing of the past, an outdated diagnosis that has disappeared for good. This book argues that hysteria is in fact alive and well. Hyperventilating, we rush from one incident into the next - there is hardly time for a breather. From the worldwide run on toilet paper to cope with coronavirus fears to the overheated discussions about immigration and overwrought reactions to the levels of crime and disorder around us, we live in a culture of hysteria. While hysteria is typically discussed in emotional terms - as an obstacle to be overcome - it nevertheless has very real consequences in everyday life. Irritating though this may be, hysteria needs to be taken seriously, for what it tells us about our society and way of life. That is why Marc Schuilenburg examines what hysteria is and why it is fuelled by a culture that not only abuses, but also encourages and rewards it. Written in a clear and direct style, this book will appeal to students and scholars of sociology, criminology, philosophy and all those interested in hysteria and how it permeates late modern society.</p
