Draw a Black Line through It: On the Surveillance of Blackness
Simone Browne, Associate Professor, Department of Sociology, University of Texas, Austin
Situating blackness as an absented presence in the field of surveillance studies, this talk questions how a realization of the conditions of blackness—the historical, the present, and the historical present— can help social theorists understand our contemporary conditions of surveillance.
