Andreas Marklund

Andreas Marklund serves as a Visiting Teacher at the SAXO-Institute within the University of Copenhagen, focusing on the historical trajectory of surveillance practices from antiquity through the digital age. His work critically examines surveillance as an instrument of power across diverse historical contexts and institutional frameworks.

His research spans History of Surveillance, Information History, Ancient History, Digital History, and Power Dynamics, analyzing how monitoring mechanisms evolved from ancient statecraft to contemporary digital control systems. Marklund employs interdisciplinary methodologies bridging historical analysis with information science to reveal continuities in surveillance epistemology.

Marklund's 2021 publications establish a comprehensive chronological framework for surveillance studies, demonstrating persistent patterns of power assertion through monitoring practices across eras. His edited volume and introductory chapter synthesize archaeological evidence, medieval records, and digital surveillance critiques to construct a unified historical narrative of institutional oversight.
