In a world of ubiquitous surveillance, watching and being watched
are the salient features of the lives depicted in many of our
cultural productions. This collection examines surveillance as it
is portrayed in art, literature, film and popular culture, and
makes the connection between our sense of 'self' and what is
'seen'. In our post-panoptical world which purports to proffer
freedom of movement, technology notes our movements and habits at
every turn. Surveillance seeps out from businesses and power
structures to blur the lines of security and confidentiality. This
unsettling loss of privacy plays out in contemporary narratives,
where the 'selves' we create are troubled by surveillance. This
collection will appeal to scholars of media and cultural studies,
contemporary literature, film and art and American studies.
