![]() ![]() If you want to understand how we got to this point, and what's at stake in a panoptical society, then you need to read this book. In this brilliant book, Jake Goldenfein explains the history and theory of the laws of monitoring, and provides a roadmap to the future. A new genus is described to accommodate Neodicranella hamulosa, a novel species resolved in the family Aongstroemiaceae, from the Monchiquense district in SW Portugal. 'You are being observed, monitored and profiled in more areas of life than you know. And once one does attend to this book's thoughtful refiguring of the stakes of digital surveillance, it is indeed hard to look away.'Fleur Johns, University of New South Wales, Sydney To the broad range of readers likely to find this book of interest, Goldenfein urges paying close attention to how the world and we who live here are being structured and actioned informationally, and extending our thinking about legal subjects accordingly. And those notions may yet still be, he shows, by thinking juridically with data, rather than through, against, or in spite of our contemporary informational existence. ![]() Throughout, Goldenfein shows, legal notions of identity have been modulated, challenged and reworked along with developments in surveillance technology. In captivating, pellucid prose, Jake Goldenfein retells the story of two centuries of profiling practice - from photography to neural nets, from dossiers to data analytics - and the legal, representational and relational thinking imbricated therein. 'How thrilling it is to read a work that stretches ideas of what legal thought and practice have been, and what they might yet become. This work should be read by anyone interested in how computation is changing society and governance, and what it is about people that law should protect in a computational world. It asks what dimensions of profiling have provoked legal intervention in the past, and what is different about contemporary profiling that requires updating our legal tools. In this cyber-physical world, or 'world state', what is the role for law? Specifically, how should law address the claim that computational systems know us better than we know ourselves? Monitoring Laws traces the history of government profiling from the invention of photography through to emerging applications of computer vision for personality and behavioral analysis. These entanglements change what it means to interact with governance, and shift what elements of our identity are knowable and meaningful. At the same time, automated classifications influence what happens in the physical world. Our world and the people within it are increasingly interpreted and classified by automated systems. “Long established in global equities, Cowen has built a strong team of dedicated personnel in the US and UK with derivatives and fixed income experience over the past year, and we will also provide world-class service in these additional asset classes.Description Product filter button Description “The addition of foreign exchange, commodities and futures marks an important development for Cowen’s outsourced trading effort,” said Rosen. Various financial institutions have made moves to launch or expand outsourced trading services, including Virtu Financial, INTL FC Stone, Wells Fargo, Cowen and others. While some buy-side traders see the trend as a threat to their role, providers of outsourced trading argue it can save significant costs for active fund managers. Pressures on asset management fees, increased costs due to regulatory requirements and MiFID II’s best execution requirements have contributed to a surge in buy-side firms outsourcing their execution to providers like Cowen. “These qualities align with Cowen’s philosophy and commitment to help our clients outperform by providing exceptional service and execution across asset classes.” “As seasoned professionals with lengthy careers trading these important asset classes on both the buy- and sell-sides, Alan and Marty bring strong relationships, market knowledge and dedication to client service,” Seibald commented.
