摘要

监视作为照顾和控制的隐性模糊性一直是社会科学监视实践和技术研究中的一个关键理论问题。本文通过实证研究父母如何使用(或不使用)位置跟踪应用程序来监控孩子,解决了这种模棱两可的问题。通过对丹麦不同地区的父母进行的17次半结构化访谈,我们研究了这些父母如何将这项技术融入他们的世界,并将其与信任、隐私和良好教养的理想相协调。通过强调用户和非用户如何感知和协商跟踪应用程序的控制能力,我们强调了这项技术引发的谈判、争议和抵制的潜力,以及其挪用和效果的偶然性。因此,它带来了技术悲观的儿童跟踪帐户的细微差别,并呼吁进一步的实证研究,检查这些技术在实践中是如何体验的。

The ambiguities of surveillance as care and control: Struggles in the domestication of location-tracking applications by Danish parents
Abstract The implicit ambiguity of surveillance as both care and control has been a key theoretical issue in social science research on surveillance practices and technologies. This article addresses this ambiguity empirically by examining how parents using – or not using – location-tracking apps to monitor their children negotiate this tension. Drawing on 17 semistructured interviews conducted with parents in different regions of Denmark, we examine the struggles of these parents to fit this technology into their world and to reconcile their uses with ideals of trust, privacy, and good parenting. By highlighting how users and non-users perceive and negotiate the controlling affordances of tracking apps, we emphasise the potential for negotiation, contestation, and resistance raised by this technology, and the contingent nature of its appropriation and effects. Thereby, it brings nuances to techno-pessimistic accounts of child tracking and calls for further empirical studies examining how these technologies are experienced in practice.
