The epic story of an enormous Soviet apartment building where Communist true believers lived before their destruction
The House of Government is unlike any other book about the Russian Revolution and the Soviet experiment. Written in the tradition of Tolstoy's War and Peace, Grossman's Life and Fate, and Solzhenitsyn's The Gulag Archipelago, Yuri Slezkine's gripping narrative tells the chilling true story of an enormous Moscow apartment building where Soviet leaders and their families lived until hundreds of these Bolshevik true believers were led, one by one, to prison or to their deaths in Stalin's purges. Drawing on letters, diaries, and interviews with survivors, and featuring hundreds of rare photographs, this epic story weaves together biography, literary criticism, architectural history, and fascinating new theories of revolutions, millennial prophecies, and reigns of terror. The result is an unforgettable saga of a building that, like the Soviet Union itself, became a haunted house, forever disturbed by the ghosts of the disappeared.

Is the government too secret or not secret enough? Why is there simultaneously too much government secrecy and a seemingly endless procession of government leaks? The Transparency Fix asserts that we incorrectly assume that government information can be controlled. The same impulse that drives transparency movements also drives secrecy advocates. They all hold the mistaken belief that government information can either be released or kept secure on command.
The Transparency Fix argues for a reformation in our assumptions about secrecy and transparency. The world did not end because Julian Assange, WikiLeaks, and Edward Snowden released classified information. But nor was there a significant political change. "Transparency" has become a buzzword, while secrecy is anathema. Using a variety of real-life examples to examine how government information actually flows, Mark Fenster describes how the legal regime's tenuous control over state information belies both the promise and peril of transparency. He challenges us to confront the implausibility of controlling government information and shows us how the contemporary obsession surrounding transparency and secrecy cannot radically change a state that is defined by so much more than information.

Описание: Reimagining transparency and secrecy in the era of digital data When total data surveillance delimits agency and revelations of political wrongdoing fail to have consequences, is transparency the social panacea liberal democracies purport it to be? This book sets forth the provocative argument that progressive social goals would be better served by a radical form of secrecy, at least while state and corporate forces hold an asymmetrical advantage over the less powerful in data control. Clare Birchall asks: How might transparency actually serve agendas that are far from transparent? Can we imagine a secrecy that could act in the service of, rather than against, a progressive politics? To move beyond atomizing calls for privacy and to interrupt the perennial tension between state security and the public’s right to know, Birchall adapts ?douard Glissant’s thinking to propose a digital “right to opacity.” As a crucial element of radical secrecy, she argues, this would eventually give rise to a “postsecret” society, offering an understanding and experience of the political that is free from the false choice between secrecy and transparency. She grounds her arresting story in case studies including the varied presidential styles of George W. Bush, Barack Obama, and Donald Trump; the Snowden revelations; conspiracy theories espoused or endorsed by Trump; WikiLeaks and guerrilla transparency; and the opening of the state through data portals.Postsecrecy is the necessary condition for imagining, finally, an alternative vision of “the good,” of equality, as neither shaped by neoliberal incarnations of transparency nor undermined by secret state surveillance. Not least, postsecrecy reimagines collective resistance in the era of digital data.

Описание: Vivre ? nu, ?uvre d’une ?quipe de recherche multidisciplinaire, explique comment la surveillance s’accro?t—presque sans qu’on y prenne garde—dans toutes les sph?res de notre vie. Nombre de Canadiens sont conscients que les organismes du gouvernement s’adonnent ? la surveillance de masse en utilisant les donn?es t?l?phoniques et ?lectroniques, mais peu d’entre eux savent ? quel point des formes courantes de surveillance ont envahi leur vie priv?e. Aujourd’hui, nous ne pouvons pas marcher au centre-ville, assister ? un cours, payer par carte de cr?dit, prendre un avion ou faire un appel sans que des donn?es soient capt?es et trait?es. O? va cette information? Qui l’utilise? Qui y gagne et qui y perd? Le projet « La nouvelle transparence » a voulu analyser la multitude de moyens employ?s par les secteurs public et priv? pour recueillir, v?rifier, analyser et ?changer des renseignements sur des citoyens ordinaires.
Apr?s des ann?es de recherche, les auteurs ont d?gag? neuf grandes tendances dans la pratique contemporaine de la surveillance, qui collectivement soul?vent des questions pressantes au sujet de la vie priv?e et de la justice sociale. Est-ce que le prix ? payer pour utiliser les m?dias sociaux et d’autres moyens de communication ?lectronique est la perte de notre emprise sur nos renseignements personnels? Ou devrions-nous plut?t nous m?fier des syst?mes qui nous rendent plus que jamais visibles, et donc vuln?rables, aux yeux des autres? Cet ouvrage vise ? informer les d?cideurs, les journalistes, les groupes de d?fense des libert?s civiles et les enseignants sur l’?tat actuel de la surveillance au Canada. Mais surtout, il cherche ? sensibiliser les citoyens sans m?fiance aux pratiques de surveillance omnipr?sentes et largement invisibles qui les entourent.

Описание: "Transparency has become a global concept of responsible government. This book argues that the transnational discourse of transparency promotes potentially contradictory policy ideas that can lead to unintended consequences. It critically examines whether or not increased transparency really leads to increased democratic accountability"--
