Hi all,
Tomorrow June 17th at 3PM CET (Brussels Time) we are hosting the last seminar
in our series for this academic year, entitled Surveillance as Spatial
Injustice - The Case of Iran.
We are delighted to welcome Azadeh
Akbari who
will theorise surveillance practices in a framework of spatial (in)justice and
examine new approaches in understanding resistance against surveillance based
on theories of abnormal justice and politics of difference. Her research
project demonstrates how surveillance curtails, limits and disrupts
participation in cyber, urban and physical spaces.
The case study on using traffic control cameras footage against female
drivers with improper veiling in Iran explores the interrelations between
policing of womens clothing in public spaces and their position in the
virtual space of datasets, both as spatial injustices. The mutual constitution
of physical and virtual is also studied through a thematic analysis of social
media of two resistance campaigns against compulsory hijab depicting a
continuum of spatial justice between the physical and cyber spaces.
The seminar offers an epistemological rethinking of conceptualising regimes of
surveillance in the countries of the global South as exceptional cases and
debates the homogenised theorisation of space and surveillance that leaves
many realities outside its narrative.
As always, registration is required and free of charge, please do so here:
