Subversion, Surveillance, and the Nation
Political surveillance is an enduring aspect of policing, and with serious consequences for civil liberties, democratic freedoms, and collective struggles. The covert nature of surveillance poses difficulties for activists seeking to protect themselves and for researchers attempting to understand the scale, methods, and impacts of police and state infiltration. While state censorship often prevents access to accurate information about undercover policing and other covert forms of surveillance, the figure of the spy is ubiquitous, a mainstay of film and television, used to mediate wider experiences of national decline.
