"Voyeur Nation traces the evolution and forces driving what the author calls the 'voyeurism value.' Calvert argues that although spectatorship and sensationalism are far from new phenomena, today a confluence of factors - legal, social, political, and technological - pushes mediated voyeurism to the forefront of our image-based world.".
"The First Amendment increasingly is called on to safeguard our right, via new technologies and recording devices, to peer into the innermost details of others' lives without fear of legal repercussion. But Calvert argues that the voyeurism value sacrifices privacy and contradicts the value of discourse in democracy and First Amendment theory, since voyeurism by its very nature involves merely watching without interacting or participating.
It privileges watching and viewing media images over participation and interacting in democracy."--BOOK JACKET.
