Synopsis:
Perceptions of privacy and our right to it have changed across centuries and cultures, but in the age of surveillance and social media, populations are giving it away at an unprecedented rate. Discussing Strangers and Intimates, which the New Scientist called ‘the sort of history book which makes you look at all history anew’, cultural historian Tiffany Jenkins celebrates the past, present, and politics of the idea of private life, and examines what we may be losing. Chaired by Sarah Manavis.
