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.
This collection of essays engages with a wide range of disciplines
including art, performance, film and literature, to examine the
myriad effects of contemporary surveillance on our cultural psyche.
The volume expertly articulates the manner in which cultural
productions have been complicit in watching, seeing and purporting
to 'know' race. In our increasingly mediated world, our sense of
community is becoming progressively virtual, and surveillant
technologies impact upon subjectivity, resulting in multiple forms
of artistic and cultural expression. As such, art, film, and
literature provide a lens for the reflection of sociocultural
concerns. In Surveillance, Race, Culture Flynn and Mackay skilfully
draw together a diverse range of contributions to investigate the
fundamental question of exactly how surveillant technologies have
informed our notions of race, identity and belonging.
Critical Pedagogy, Race, and Media investigates how popular media
offers the potential to radicalise what and how we teach for
inclusivity. Bringing together established scholars in the areas of
race and pedagogy, this collection offers a unique approach to
critical pedagogy by analysing current and historical iterations of
race onscreen. The book forms theoretical and methodological
bridges between the disciplinary fields of pedagogy, equality
studies, and screen studies to explore how we might engage in and
critique screen culture for teaching about race. It employs
Critical Race Theory and paradigmatic frameworks to address some of
the social crises in Higher Education classrooms, forging new
understandings of how notions of race are buttressed by popular
media. The chapters draw on popular media as a tool to explore the
social, economic, and cultural dimensions of racial injustice and
are grouped by Black studies, migration studies, Indigenous
studies, Latinx studies, and Asian studies. Each chapter addresses
diversity and the necessity for teaching to include visual media
which is reflective of a myriad of students’ experiences.
Offering opportunities for using popular media to teach for
inclusion in Higher Education, this critical and timely book will
be highly relevant for academics, scholars, and students across
interdisciplinary fields such as pedagogy, human geography,
sociology, cultural studies, media studies, and equality studies.
This book examines American screen culture and its power to create
and sustain values. Looking specifically at the ways in which
nostalgia colors the visions of American life, essays explore
contemporary American ideology as it is created and sustained by
the screen. Nostalgia is omnipresent, selling a version of America
that arguably never existed. Current socio-cultural challenges are
played out onscreen and placed within the historical milieu through
a nostalgic lens which is tempered by contemporary conservatism.
Essays reveal not only the visual catalog of recognizable motifs
but also how these are used to temper the uncertainty of
contemporary crises. Media covered spans from 1939's Gone with the
Wind, to Stranger Things, The Americans, Twin Peaks, the Fallout
franchise and more.
This collection considers the city of the future and its
relationship to its citizens. It responds to the foregrounding of
digital technologies in the management of urban spaces, and
addresses some of the ways in which technologies are changing the
places in which we live and the way we live in them. A broad range
of interdisciplinary contributors reflect on the global agenda of
smart cities, the ruptures in smart discourse and the spaces where
we might envisage a more user-friendly and bottom-up version of the
smart future. The authors adopt an equality studies lens to assess
how we might conceive of a future smart city and what fissures need
to be addressed to ensure the smart future is equitable. In the
project of envisaging this, they consider various approaches and
arguments for equality in the imagined future city, putting people
at the forefront of our discussions, rather than technologies. In
the smart discourse, hard data, technological solutions, global and
national policy and macro issues tend to dominate. Here, the
authors include ethnographic evidence, rather than rely on the
perspective of the smart technologies' experts, so that the arena
for meaningful social development of the smart future can develop.
The international contributors respond purposefully to the smart
imperative, to the disruptive potential of smart technologies in
our cities: issues of change, design, austerity, ownership,
citizenship and equality. The collection examines the pull between
equality and engagement in smart futures. To date, the topic of
smart cities has been approached from the perspective of digital
media, human geography and information communications technology.
This collection, however, presents a different angle. It seeks to
open new discussions about what a smart future could do to bridge
divides, to look at governmentality in the context of (in)equality
in the city. The collection is an approachable discussion of the
issues that surround smart digital futures and the imagined digital
cities of the future. It is aspirational in that it seeks to
imagine a truly egalitarian city of the future and to ponder how
that might come about. Primary readership will be academics and
students in social science, architecture, urban planning,
government employees, and those working or studying in social
justice and equality studies

Diaspora and Cultural Negotiations: The Films of Gurinder Chadha
explores critical and theoretical conceptualizations of identity,
globalization, intersectionality, and diaspora, among other topics,
in the films of Gurinder Chadha. This book argues that Chadha's
work offers relevant and sensitive portrayals of the members of the
diaspora community that make these films of contemporary and
enduring value, highlighting their challenges in hybridization and
acculturation in the societies they migrate to and the historical
and political exigencies that influence their everyday existence.
Contributors analyze Chadha's films in the context of cultural
milieus including multiculturalism, narration and representation,
ethnicity, literary adaptation, and intercultural negotiations,
while also exploring Chadha's own role as an auteur. Scholars of
film studies, Indian cinema, diaspora studies, sociology, and
cultural studies will find this book particularly useful.

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.
The lines between the fields of strategy, urban planning,
architecture and sociology are currently blurred by
‘futurising’ discourses about progress, renewal and the crises
of urbanisation. Aided by an ambitious multifaceted lens, Urban
Planning for the City of the Future: A Multidisciplinary Approach
provides a unique glimpse into planning, growth, regeneration and
demographic urgency in the light of globalisation, climate change
and rapid technological change. Presenting a case study of the city
of Waterford, this edited collection explores how the city of the
future might be shaped. Contributors ask not only how to plan the
ideal city of the future, but also how to prioritise citizens’
rights, participation and engagement in that city. Offering
solutions that put these rights at the heart of city life, chapters
also tackle some of the modern city’s crises, exploring options
for the preservation, incorporation and expansion of the city’s
heritage, landmark buildings and unique geographical history.
Bringing together multidisciplinary perspectives from strategy,
urban geography, psychology, sociology, film, data and digital
studies, Urban Planning for the City of the Future: A
Multidisciplinary Approach builds a compelling, comprehensive,
multifaceted case-study of a small, modern European city that can
serve as a laboratory for future urban planning elsewhere.
Into the Mountain Stream represents a natural development in the
conversation between Buddhism and psychoanalysis. This fluid,
evolving, multi-textured conversation encompasses theory,
philosophy, technique and the personal experiences of those
involved as patients, as clinicians and as Buddhist practitioners.
This edition, which formalizes and furthers this living
conversation between Buddhism and psychoanalysis, in the form and
style proposed, is not presently available. Clinical material
expands and enriches the present rapidly growing theoretical and
technical literature. In this sense, this collection bridges the
gap between discourse that has impact and language that is
informational. Some of the many questions that we examine include:
-How does psychotherapy deepen the practitioner's Buddhist
involvements? -How do both practices interact to enrich an
individual's life? -What is the efficacy of a Buddhist informed
psychotherapy? -What are the global and societal ramifications of
the expanded vision that might derive

the expanded vision that might derive from the mutual efficacy of
both Buddhism and psychoanalysis? The contributors address the
issues under discussion cogently, compellingly and succinctly
through first-hand accounts both in psychotherapy and in Buddhist
practice. We address the question of how Buddhist beliefs and
practices become integrated into one's therapeutic stance. For
example, what are the fundamental Buddhist principles of emptiness
and dependent-arising and how does an understanding of these
foundational cornerstones of Buddhist philosophy and experience
influence clinical work? How do the basic psychoanalytic notions of
transference and countertransference, when applied clinically,
facilitate deepened involvement with Buddhist practice?
This edited collection examines the culture of surveillance as it
is expressed in the built environment. Expanding on discussions
from previous collections; Spaces of Surveillance: States and
Selves (2017) and Surveillance, Race, Culture (2018), this book
seeks to explore instances of surveillance within and around
specific architectural entities, both historical and fictitious,
buildings with specific social purposes and those existing in
fiction, film, photography, performance and art. Providing new
readings of, and expanding on Foucault's work on the panopticon,
these essays examine the role of surveillance via disparate fields
of enquiry, such as the humanities, social sciences, technological
studies, design and environmental disciplines. Surveillance,
Architecture and Control seeks to engender new debates about the
nature of the surveilled environment through detailed analyses of
architectural structures and spaces; examining how cultural,
geographical and built space buttress and produce power relations.
The various essays address the ongoing fascination with
contemporary notions of surveillance and control.
This collection of essays engages with a wide range of disciplines
including art, performance, film and literature, to examine the
myriad effects of contemporary surveillance on our cultural psyche.
