Resumen:

The (in)sensibilities to the vigilance of others in contemporary cities are studied. In particular, the analysis focuses on the surveillance technologies that permeate the urban structure on a global scale as a way of observing those who live and transit more systematically. Starting off of the premise that these technologies are deployed territorially in order to make them perceptible to society, generating sensibilities to regulate and control their behaviour. However, the effects of surveillance on society are not homogeneous, and while some are permanently violated because they are sensible to the possible observation of others, there are those who manage to normalize this surveillance and even be insensible to its presence. The research is mainly circumscribed in Mexico City where, as part of the broader research project, the phenomenon was studied and semi-structured interviews were carried out regarding the perceptions and sensibilities of the inhabitants. But also, relevant international social practices are taken into account. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2021. All rights reserved.
