"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"--The publisher
