This collection examines the peculiarly modern phenomena of
voyeurism as it is experienced through the digital screen.
Violence, voyeurism, and power populate film more than ever, and
the centrality of the terrified body to many digital narratives
suggests new forms of terror and angst, where bodies are subjected
to an endless knowing look. The particular perils of the digital
age can be seen on, by, and through screen bodies as they are made,
remade, represented, and used. The essays in this book examination
the machinations of voyeurism in the digital age and the
realization of power through digital visual forms. They look at the
uses of power over the female body, at the domination and
repression of women through symbolic violence, at discourses of
power as they are played out onscreen, and at how the digital realm
might engage the active/passive dichotomy in new ways.
