Abstract

Security is a crucial issue of our society, which is accordingly defined as a risk society. However, in a complex risk society, citizens cannot tackle and manage the issue of risk by themselves. The risk is therefore more and more delegated to processes and mechanisms that take care of risk management. Today, the risk against which society claims to be immunized-increasingly mediated by technologies and less and less politically legitimized-reemerges with new forms of fiduciary management, raising the possibility of weakening rights and diluting political responsibility.

Fußnoten
1
“And since in the infosphere we, as users, are increasingly invited, if not forced, to rely on indicators rather than actual references–we cannot try all the restaurants in town, the references, so we trust online recommendations, the indicators of quality–we share and promote a culture of proxies. LinkedIn profiles stand for individuals, the number of linked pages stand for relevance and importance, ‘likes’ are a proxy for pleasant, TripAdvisor becomes a guide to leisure”.

“The law, which was made for my preservation, where it cannot interpose to secure my life from present force, which, if lost, is capable of no reparation, permits me my own defense, and the right of war, at liberty to kill the aggressor, because the aggressor allows not time to appeal to our common judge, nor the decision of the law, for remedy in a case where the mischief may be irreparable”.

“All disembedding mechanisms, both symbolic tokens and expert systems, depend upon trust. Trust is therefore involved in a fundamental way with the institutions of modernity”.
 
4
“The public mind – that is, the set of values and interpretative frames that have large exposure in society - is ultimately what influences collective behaviour”.

“Information, knowledge, and culture are central to human freedom and human development. How they are produced and exchanged in our society critically affects the way we see the state of the world as it is and might be; who decides these questions; and how we, as societies and polities, come to understand what can and ought to be done. For more than 150 years, modern complex democracies have depended in large measure on an industrial information economy for these basic functions”.
 
6
“Standards are means by which we construct realities. They are means of partially ordering people and things so as to produce outcomes desired by someone. As such, they are part of the technical, political, social, economic, and ethical infrastructure that constitutes human society”.

“In numerous surveillance situations, bodies are reduced to data, perhaps most obviously through the use of biometrics at borders. Yet in this paradigmatic case, the end in view is to verify the identity of the body, indeed, of the person, to permit them to cross the border (or not). One cannot but conclude that information about that body it is treated as if it were conclusive in determining the identity of the person. […] In condensed form, this is the story of how disembodied information ends up critically affecting the life chances of flesh-and-blood migrants, asylum seekers and the like”.
