Abstract
The study explores young adults' subjective experiences and responses to surveillance in their everyday lives. It seeks to contribute to a thicker understanding of surveillance by using a transdisciplinary approach and mixed qualitative research methods (focus groups and participatory photography). Findings demonstrate a significant difference in young adults' perceptions between public-space and online surveillance that fundamentally affects their experiences and drives their responses to it. It uncovers a tactical and anticipated knowledge of surveillance that ordinarily leads to intuitive responses to public-space surveillance (passive and normalised) and conscious and cautious reactions to online surveillance (active and proactive).
