This paper is concerned to chart the establishment and uses of CCTV within the location of Liverpool city centre. In doing this the paper seeks to contextualize CCTV within contemporary 'partnership' approaches to regeneration which are reshaping the material and discursive form of the city. Thus CCTV schemes along with other security initiatives are understood as social ordering strategies emanating from within locally powerful networks which are seeking to define and enact orderly regeneration projects. In focusing on the normative aspects of CCTV, the paper raises questions concerning the efficacy of understanding contemporary forms of 'social ordering practices' primarily in terms of technical rationalities while neglecting other, more material and ideological processes involved in the construction of social order.
本文旨在梳理闭路电视监控系统(CCTV)在利物浦市中心区域的建立及应用情况。在此过程中,本文力图将CCTV置于当代城市更新的“伙伴关系”方法的背景下,这些方法正在重塑城市的物质形态和话语形式。因此,CCTV计划以及其他安全举措被视为源自当地强大网络的社会秩序策略,这些网络试图界定并实施有序的城市更新项目。在关注CCTV的规范性方面时,本文提出了一些问题,即主要从技术合理性角度理解当代“社会秩序实践”形式的有效性,却忽视了社会秩序构建中涉及的其他更具物质性和意识形态性的过程。
