Andreas Marklund Coordinateur de la recherche au Post and Tele Museum du Danemarkau séminaire d'Histoire des sciences, histoire de l'innovation(Université Paris Sorbonne, UPMC, LabEx EHNE) lejeudi 26 novembre à 17h00dans la salle de conférence de l’Institut des sciences de la communication (ISCC) 20 rue Berbier-du-Mets, Paris 13°, M° Gobelins.Présentation de son intervention:Surveillance studies is an emerging field of academic research that has generated new perspectives and questions to the study of the past. In this lecture, I aim to explore the historical connections between modern telecommunications and the development of practices for state surveillance. My focus is on Denmark and wider Scandinavia during World War One: a period that witnessed an enormous increase in Scandinavian telecommunications traffic, but also the implementation of new administrative routines and technologies for secret monitoring and censorship. I shall argue that WW1 was a “game changer” in the process, at least from a Scandinavian point of view. However, I will also stress that the history of surveillance has dimensions that must be understood in the longue durée, as they point back to pre-modern conceptions of (absolute) state power, including a deep-seated distrust against secrecy in private forms of communication.&#160;Fotograf: Björn Andersson&#160;&#160;&#160;
