The main theme of Open #19 is <em>privacy<\/em>, a right that protects one\u2019s private life, a right that is not only established by law but also has political and social significance. It can be experienced and observed differently by individuals and groups, depending upon their position in society and the desires and interests involved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this issue, the concept of privacy is examined and reconsidered from legal, sociological, media-theoretical and activist perspectives. The focus is not so much on deploring the loss of privacy but on taking the present situation of \u2018post-privacy\u2019 for what it is and trying to gain insight into what is on the horizon in terms of new subjectivities and power constructions. The issue includes contributions by Daniel Solove, Maurizio Lazzarato, Rudi Laermans, Armin Medosch, Felix Stalder, Joris van Hoboken, Oliver Leistert Martijn de Waal, Rob van Kranenburg, Mark Shepard and Matthijs Bouw and Gio Sumbadze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">June 5th, 2010<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mediateca Expandida.
