Sommario/riassunto |
|
The use of biometric technology for identification has gone from Orwellian fantasy to everyday reality. This technology, which verifies or recognizes a person's identity based on physiological, anatomical, or behavioral patterns (including fingerprints, retina, handwriting, and keystrokes) has been deployed for such purposes as combating welfare fraud, screening airplane passengers, and identifying terrorists. The accompanying controversy has pitted those who praise the technology's accuracy and efficiency against advocates for privacy and civil liberties. In America Identified, Lisa Nelson investigates the complex public responses to biometric technology. She uses societal perceptions of this particular identification technology to explore the values, beliefs, and ideologies that influence public acceptance of technology. Drawing |

on her own extensive research with focus groups and a national survey, Nelson finds that considerations of privacy, anonymity, trust and confidence in institutions, and the legitimacy of paternalistic government interventions are extremely important to users and potential users of the technology. She examines the long history of government systems of identification and the controversies they have inspired; the effect of the information technology revolution and the events of September 11, 2001; the normative value of privacy (as opposed to its merely legal definition); the place of surveillance technologies in a civil society; trust in government and distrust in the expanded role of government; and the balance between the need for government to act to prevent harm and the possible threat to liberty in government's actions. |

Sommario/riassunto |

Quel est le but de ce livre ? pour le dire en quelques mots, il s’agit de montrer qu’à côté des innombrables rencontres politiques officielles qui sont sans résultat notable depuis plus de quarante ans, des militants courageux et volontaires, aidés par le passage des générations, tentent d’agir sur l’opinion citoyenne, en rétablissant des relations personnelles entre les populations chypriotes, en développant, à côté de l’hellénisme et du turcisme, l’idée d’une nation chypriote. La première partie rappelle le fil de l’histoire : comment l’Empire ottoman, la domination britannique, la courte indépendance et le nationalisme surdimensionné des colonels grecs, encouragés par les États‑Unis, ont façonné la situation actuelle. La seconde, 1974‑2003, montre comment la situation s’enlise : d’un côté, les politiques locaux prennent des mesures qui solidifient et aggravent la partition de 1974, de l’autre, une première génération de militants développe le chypriotisme. Enfin la troisième partie montre comment depuis 2003, les contacts entre citoyens de Chypre se multiplient sans heurts, en exerçant indéniablement une influence sur les politiques locaux, même si les résultats sont encore limités. Les mentalités ne changent pas rapidement, et le sort de Chypre dépend, également et malheureusement, de facteurs extérieurs, la Grèce, la Turquie, la Grande-Bretagne, l’Union européenne, les États-Unis, la Russie, la situation au Proche-Orient... What is the purpose of this book? to say it in a few words, the point is to show that besides the innumerable official political meetings that have been without any notable result for more than forty years, courageous and voluntary activists, helped by the passage of the generations, try to act on citizen opinion, by restoring personal relations between the Cypriot populations, by developing, beside Hellenism and Turkicism, the idea of a Cypriot nation. The first part recalls the thread of history: how the Ottoman Empire, the British… |
