地理上相距遥远和移动的个人之间的社会关系越来越多地通过新的信息和通信技术来调节。在本文中,我认为,这些移动的社会关系的配置可以通过一个模型来理解的人际监视,不像等级国家结构的监视,构成了一个分散的个人之间的社会关系。在福柯的著作中,这种转变可以被描述为从调节国家与个人之间关系的全景监狱监视模型转向他后来关于自我技术的著作,后者强调个人之间的互动是自律的源泉。像全景监狱一样,第二种形式的监视也构成了一种权力/知识制度,产生了某些观看方式和某些“监视”凝视的对象。借鉴经验材料的研究,在世界各地的旅游网站,在本文中,我概述的方式隐喻的监督,如“观看”和“以下”配置的移动的社会关系,发生在旅客和他们的在线观众。
Social relations between geographically distant and mobile individuals are increasingly mediated through new information and communication technologies. In this paper I argue that the configuration of these mobile social relations can be understood through a model of interpersonal surveillance that, unlike hierarchical state structures of surveillance, constitutes a decentralised social relation between individuals. This shift may be characterised in the writings of Foucault as a move from the panopticon model of surveillance that mediates the relation between the state and the individual to his later writings on technologies of the self, which emphasise interaction between individuals as a source of self-discipline. Like the panopticon, this second form of surveillance also constitutes a power/knowledge regime that produces certain ways of seeing and certain objects of the ‘surveilling’ gaze. Drawing on empirical material from research on round-the-world travel websites, in this paper I outline the way metaphors of surveillance such as ‘watching’ and ‘following’ configure the mobile social relations that occur between travellers and their on-line audience.
