An excellent book, both far-reaching and convincing in its claims, Surveillance Cinema is sure to become one of the central works in the emerging field of surveillance studies."-Aviva Briefel,author of Horror after 9/11: World of Fear, Cinema of Terror, "Catherine Zimmer's excellent study explores the unstable boundary between the real world and the screen, tracing the ways that digital technologies not only echo and reinforce the hegemonies of our age but have the capacity, in cinematic form, to problematise and undermine them. This has profound implications, she argues, for how we think about temporality, the political sphere and subject formations, as surveillance culture constructs a self-regarding 'networked' self that exists on the permeable boundary between individuated private selfhood and the matrices of public, social and political power; ideologically interpellated and technologically penetrated at every turn."- Times Higher Education, "Catherine Zimmer offers a generative analysis of surveillance as aesthetic and structuring logic....an exciting project that will surely open doors in critical examinations of surveillance, popular culture, and power."- Film Criticism, "In Surveillance Cinema, Catherine Zimmer sets out to claim that our popular imagination of surveillance-constructed by decades of espionage thrillers, police procedurals, and torture horror flicks-serves to create and sustain the actual methods of surveillance that have come to encompass almost all cultural and social life."- Rain Taxi, "Surveillance Cinema presents cutting-edge scholarship in the field of cinema studies in its reconceptualization of the centrality of surveillance to film narratives, subject formations, and temporalities.

Synopsis

Such plots represent only a fraction of the surveillance narratives that ......, In Paris, a static video camera keeps watch on a bourgeois home. In Portland, a webcam documents the torture and murder of kidnap victims. And in clandestine intelligence offices around the world, satellite technologies relentlessly pursue the targets of global conspiracies. Such plots represent only a fraction of the surveillance narratives that have become commonplace in recent cinema. Catherine Zimmer examines how technology and ideology have come together in cinematic form to play a functional role in the politics of surveillance. Drawing on the growing field of surveillance studies and the politics of contemporary monitoring practices, she demonstrates that screen narrative has served to organize political, racial, affective, and even material formations around and through surveillance. She considers how popular culture forms are intertwined with the current political landscape in which the imagery of anxiety, suspicion, war, and torture has become part of daily life. From Enemy of the State and The Bourne Series to Saw, Caché and Zero Dark Thirty, Surveillance Cinema explores in detail the narrative tropes and stylistic practices that characterize contemporary films and television series about surveillance., In Paris, a static video camera keeps watch on a bourgeois home.
