Transparency and its Discontents

Description	More Transparency! In recent years, demands for more transparency have been voiced in domains as diverse as corporate or public administration, financial transactions, scientific research, sports contests, technology or media, turning 'transparency' to a strangely consensual term on which President Obama and whistleblower Edward Snowden, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg to WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange paradoxically converge. The research project aims at understanding the reasons why such a notion could become the central concept in an allegedly post-ideological time, and showing how its internal bias may lead to question its supposed neutrality.
