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. .United States—Study and teachingCultureTechnologyCultural studiesAmerican Culturehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/411010Culture and Technologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/411180Cultural Studieshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22040United States—Study and teaching.Culture.Technology.Cultural studies.American Culture.Culture and Technology.Cultural Studies.306.0973Flynn Susanedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtMackay Antoniaedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBOOK9910300029903321Surveillance, Race, Culture2185704UNINA
