• A Note on Content

    I'm currently working on a cultural studies book about surveillance in post-9/11 cinema. Part of that research requires that I keep up with the steady stream of news articles related to surveillance, which is very difficult because there is so much. So for the time being, I'm going to use this site to aggregate those news articles. I'll make it clear what is my writing and what is others', and I'd love it if this becomes a gateway for anyone seeking out the same kind of information and a place where we can discuss the issues raised by surveillance reportage.
