In the first half of the semester we considered the roles that surveillance cultures have played in representing and shaping various disciplinary power in historical periods. With the move to remote learning our goal now is to witness how surveillance, discipline, and power are deployed throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. On this site, we attend to the language, images, and aesthetics that the media use to represent pandemic; the populations (global and local) that come under the surveillance gaze; the ways that reestablishing control over populations are enacted through the discipline of individual bodies. As regions establish “shelter in place” orders, what might we learn from these historical and media representations of discipline and power? And how can we be ethical witnesses to how this all plays out?
