Inhaltsangabe

Opening the Black Box is specifically concerned with both advancing sociological understandings of contemporary urban governance and the practice of mediated watching. The book critically considers the everyday experiences of surveillance workers (i.e. CCTV operators) and their role in defining and ordering reality, before exploring how reflections of reality impact upon such labourers' perceptions of the world.
