Abstract | This paper discusses how Clark’s theory of Common Ground can beapplied to analyse how individuals connected by Awareness Systems conjointlymeet and coordinate their privacy needs. Relevant aspects of Common Groundtheory for the analysis of human communication behaviours are used in thisstudy to understand privacy as a collaborative coordination process. The expositionillustrates how Awareness Systems are a mechanism for helping individualsto meet their privacy needs rather than as a privacy threat, as a first impressionmight suggest. |
