Klappentext This ambitious, interdisciplinary collection responds to present intellectual debates concerning the value and limits of privacy. Ever since the beginning of modernity, the line of demarcation between private and public spaces, and the distinction between them, have continually been challenged and redrawn.

This collection examines the fundamental issues structuring that debate. > Zusammenfassung This interdisciplinary collection responds to intellectual debates concerning the value and limits of privacy.
