Reviews

Surveillance Cinemapresents cutting-edge scholarship in the field of cinema studies in its reconceptualization of the centrality of surveillance to film narratives, subject formations, and temporalities. Smartly pushing beyond the critical models that have long been associated with surveillance in and outside of cinema, Zimmer makes a persuasive case for examining surveillance within historical and political contexts. An excellent book, both far-reaching and convincing in its claims, Surveillance Cinemais sure to become one of the central works in the emerging field of surveillance studies. -Aviva Briefel, co-editor of Horror after 9/11: World of Fear, Cinema of Terror
