Do panopticon ao panspectron: uma reflexão sobre as mediações de poder e a materialidade da informação | From panopticon to panspectron: a reflection on mediation power and materiality of information

Abstract

RESUMOEste trabalho apresenta uma reflexão sobre os mecanismos de mediação e da materialidade da informação existentes nos regimes de poder voltados para a vigilância, disciplina e controle, com base na crítica de Foucault ao panopticon e às instituições disciplinares dos séculos XVII e XVIII, e nos conceitos de vigilância líquida, vigilância distribuída e panspectron, apresentados respectivamente por Bauman (2013), Bruno (2013) e Braman (2006b). Palavras-chave:Panopticon; Panspectron; Vigilância; Mediações; Regime de Informação. ABSTRACTThis paper presents a reflection on the mechanisms of mediation and the materiality of existing information on power schemes focused on surveillance, discipline and control, based on the criticism of Foucault to panopticon and the disciplinary institutions of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, and concepts of liquid surveillance, distribuited surveillance and panspectron, presented respectively by Bauman (2013), Bruno (2013) and Braman (2006b).Keywords: Panopticon; Panspectron; Surveillance; Mediations; Information Regime. INTRODUÇÃOA questão que norteia o presente estudo é a identificação e reflexão acerca dos mecanismos de mediação e materialidade da informação existentes nos regimes de poder voltados para a vigilância, disciplina e controle. Tomou-se por base a crítica de Foucault ao panopticon e às instituições disciplinares dos séculos XVII e XVIII, e os conceitos de vigilância líquida, vigilância distribuída e panspectron, apresentados respectivamente por Bauman (2013), Bruno (2013) e Braman (2006b).O ponto de partida é o projeto do panopticon e aspectos deste modelo de arquitetura funcional, que Foucault classificou de física do poder -um local que serviria como um  Doutora em Ciência da Informação pela Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro/Ibict (2003).

Big Data, exploração ubíqua e propaganda dirigida: novas facetas da indústria cultural

“…The control that is developed through this form of knowledge based on massive data, moreover, is configured differently from the disciplinary regimes that impose constraints and coercions; now users themselves provide the information, as they imagine that they obtain free information, diversion and recreation, but it is an asymmetric game in which users do not know they are being monitored, cannot choose which data will be provided, and much less what will be done with their information (Cianconi & Lott, 2016). According to Han (2015), transparency, which is required subtly and imperatively from users, turns into a neoliberal device for total monitoring and control.…”

“…Moreover, the tendency to a radicalization of the exploitation of value through the collection and targeted use of data erases the difference between consumer and citizen, strengthening the trend that already existed at the time of the cultural industry criticized by Adorno of dealing with political issues as choices of products. If, as indicated by Cianconi and Lott (2016), we are transitioning from the panopticon to the panspectron, that is, to the possibility of locating and identifying everyone at any time, that occurs aiming at reproduction of the same. The power of outreach, whether of the State or the market, which through the large network and its online services and digital interfaces collect comprehensive information, indirectly and constantly reveals an asymmetry of the digital transparency correlated with the asymmetry found by Chamayou (2015) at the beginning of a war that replaces the battle with hunting with drones.…”
