Résumé
Ce numéro explore l'imaginaire et les pratiques de surveillance. En confrontant les travaux d'historiens, de politistes et de sociologues, il se propose de mettre en lumière les relations entre surveillance politique, constitution et maintien des formes légitimes d'exercice du politique dans nos sociétés. En croisant différentes expériences, françaises et étrangères, passées et présentes, les auteurs de ce numéro s'interrogent sur le rôle méconnu des agences de sécurité dans l'avènement d'un ordre politique démocratique. Whether the phenomenon is visible or invisible, whether the individuals are aware of it or not, surveillance is part of everyday-life. It takes different forms reaching from the paper-file to new information technologies. The process of surveillance is complex and deeply enrooted in contemporary societies. This issue tries to analyze what is at stake in modern-day surveillance and to show what its different aspects are. Drawing on the work of historians, political scientists and sociologists, the focus is here put on political surveillance as a mode of construction of modern states. The issue of surveillance will here not be analyzed separately but in relation with the constitution and the preservation of the legitimate form of power in our societies. By collecting information, by establishing new forms of categorizations (notably through a process of inclusion/ exclusion of the agents of the instituted political game), the agents of surveillance are indeed central in the reproduction of power-structures and in the implementation of policies. By analyzing examples from the present and from the past, from France and from abroad, the authors explore the role of security-agencies in the creation of a democratic political order.
