*Call for Chapter proposals: Privacy in Public Spaces*

We are pleased to announce the call for book chapter contributions for a
book on privacy in public spaces. Find below the short abstract and
attached the long description on the topic.

For this volume, we are seeking contributions on the topic of privacy in
public spaces from a multitude of fields such as (but not limited to) law,
regulation, geography, philosophy or sociology.


Please consider:


   - contributing to this book and/or
   - posting this call on your mailinglist and/or
   - sending this call to colleagues you think should be part of this
   volume.

*Abstract (short)*

In this volume, we wish to explore how being anonymous and maintaining some
expectation of privacy when moving around in physical public space is
becoming more difficult due to all sorts of technological, digital
infrastructures invading public space. Innovations such as social media,
ubiquitous computing and smart sensing (sometimes grouped under the
umbrella term of an "Internet-of-Things") are increasingly becoming common
practice in public space. Not only does this entail new forms of physical
products or devices that are 'smart' (e.g. are somehow connected to a
network in which they can communicate to other 'things' and/or humans),
this 'smartness' also entails all kinds of data sharing. This sharing takes
place in public space, where boundaries of what is 'public' and what is
'private' become more difficult to establish. Both commercial parties and
government institutions (often in collaboration) try to benefit from
citizens sharing and spilling over their generated data in the grey area of
'public' space. In the process, citizens' private lives become more visible
in the public space, and yet, are afforded very limited legal protection
compared to private spaces. Conceptually, the book will analyze whether a
metaphorical privacy bubble exists, or should exist, around a data-carrying
citizen moving about in public space and if so, how such privacy bubbles
can be conceptualized.



*We welcome contributions that (illustrative):*

   - Re-conceptualize regulatory spaces of privacy
   - Offer theoretical accounts of privacy in (physical) public space
   - Reflect on the delimitation of (physical) public space
   - Discuss the changes in the role of privacy in public space and the
   role of public space for privacy
   - Discuss specific technologies or solutions deployed in public space
   that increase or alter the character of surveillance in public space
   - Describe recent trends developing in public space that have an impact
   on the standing and the role of privacy in public space
   - Offer thoughts on resilience in face of the changes in public space
   and particular means of resisting the privacy-intrusive technologies,
   solutions and trends in physical public space
   - Offer conceptual and/or theoretical effort in re-thinking privacy and
   privacy protection in public space
