Details | Shoshana Zuboff's Big Other concept captures the paradigm shifts provoked by surveillance capitalism and its seemingly free services. The Big Other brings with it "new possibilities of subjugation... as this innovative institutional logic thrives on unexpected and illegible mechanisms of extraction and control that exile persons from their own behavior." Our paper disrupts the Big Other's pervasive illegibility by comparing three examples of global cinema. In the process, we fill in historical blind spots in Zuboff's framework. To underline the Big Other's new subjugations, our interdisciplinary paper traces the line between what constitutes just and the unjust surveillance within business. |
