Media and Policing . FAMST 242MP

An examination of the relationship between police power and modern image- making technologies from a variety of critical historiographical and theoretical perspectives. We will trace a genealogy of the present by putting eighteenth- and nineteenth-century methodologies and visual culturein conversation with new research methods and media. Topics to be discussedinclude: the production of criminality, physiognomy and phrenology, carceral geography, crime statistics and predictive policing, carceral aesthetics, counter forensics, and abolition. Course readings will be discussed in relation to screenings and close study of artifacts and technologies that operate at the intersection of policing and media.
