概要 Geopolitics is changing. The conduct of war and peace is being transformed by our increasing dependence on visual images and practices. Satellite surveillance, computer games, streaming video, retina... scanning and mobile phone cameras are just some of the technologies that are shaping contemporary geopolitics. From the horrors of 9/11 and Abu Ghraib to the mechanical, mundane functioning of airport biometrics, geopolitical truths are established through a process of visual demonstration. Visual culture has become part of the apparatus of persuasion. "Observant States" brings together leading international authors to explore the developing relationship between geopolitics and visual culture. The result is a definitive contribution to a globally significant, newly emergent field of enquiry.
Geopolitics is changing. The conduct of war and peace is being transformed by our increasing dependence on visual images and practices. Satellite surveillance, computer games, streaming video, retinal scanning and mobile phone cameras are just some of the technologies that are shaping contemporary geopolitics. From the horrors of 9/11 and Abu Ghraib to the mundane functioning of airport biometrics, geopolitical truths are established, and geopolitical realities are enacted, through a process of visual demonstration. Questions of who is eligible to see or be seen, whose details and behaviour can be visually recorded and reproduced are, at the same time, matters of liberty and incarceration, mobility and fixity, citizenship and statelessness. The technologies of representation and observation have become essential military and diplomatic tools: visual culture has become part of the apparatus of persuasion.
