Strangers And Intimates by Tiffany Jenkins
Strangers and Intimates traces how private life emerged as a hard‑won cultural achievement and examines the forces now putting it at risk — from state and corporate surveillance to confessional, ‘tell‑all’ culture and the politicization of intimate spaces. Using historical episodes (from early modern debates about the sanctity of the home to 19th‑century letter‑opening scandals) and contemporary examples like reality TV and social credit systems, the book argues that privacy is a precious resource that needs active protection.
