Feminist Surveillance Studies
Questions of gender, race, class, and sexuality have largely been left unexamined in surveillance studies. The contributors to this field defining collection take up these questions, and in so doing provide new directions for analyzing surveillance. They use feminist theory to expose the ways in which surveillance practices and technologies are tied to systemic forms of discrimination that serve to normalize whiteness, able bodiedness, capitalism, and heterosexuality. The essays discuss the implications of, among others, patriarchal surveillance in colonial North America, surveillance aimed at curbing the trafficking of women and sex work, women presented as having agency in the creation of the images that display their bodies via social media, full body airport scanners, and mainstream news media discussion of honor killings in Canada and the concomitant surveillance of Muslim bodies. Rather than rehashing arguments as to whether or not surveillance keeps the state safe, the contributors investigate what constitutes surveillance, who is scrutinized, why, and at what cost. The work fills a gap in feminist scholarship and shows that gender, race, class, and sexuality should be central to any study of surveillance. Contributors.

L'auteure atteint pleinement son objectif dans la mesure ou elle fournit une analyse fouillee de l'emission de telerealite americaine The Bachelor et de son.

Fallen Women in Reality TV
The display of emotional women is a hallmark of many reality shows. Through the analysis of a woman in the reality TV show The Bachelor, who is originally presented as an attractive romantic prospect, but ultimately revealed as frighteningly over emotional, the article suggests that this emotional display is akin to the "money shot" in film pornography (shot of the man ejaculating) The argument draws on feminist scholarship in pornography studies to illustrate how the representation of women's emotions of female bodies unable to contain intense bodily responses provides the climactic moments of a story about women who fail at love. The work examines what is at stake in this process, asking: what is the threat posed by emotional women and how is this threat situated in a genre that claims access to the "real"

FEMINIST SURVEILLANCE STUDIES Critical Interventions
At a recent roundtable of academics and privacy advocates discussing surveillance studies and inequality, the conversation variously turned to consumer surveillance, new technologies, and the weakened legislative climate on privacy in both the United States and Canada. While we share the interests of the discussants, we wonder at the place of feminist concerns about surveillance and issues of inequality. For instance, where were the presentations on the use of surveillance technologies by abusers to stalk their intimate partners, the surveillance of disability through the scrutiny of women on sick leave using Twitter and Facebook, the use of surveillance images of women in popular entertainment media, or the importance of penal abolition to surveillance studies given the surveillance and criminalization of women of color (the fastest growing demographic to be included in the prison industrial complex) In considering roundtables like these and conversations in surveillance studies generally, we feel the need for a feminist intervention into the burgeoning field of surveillance studies. Our book formally launches the area of feminist surveillance studies. The essays collected here do the groundbreaking work of bringing the insights of critical scholarship and feminist theory to surveillance studies, a field which has yet to fully benefit from major feminist interventions. By the same token, we address a

Regulating belonging: surveillance, inequality, and the cultural production of abjection
ABSTRACT Conditions of abjection are increasingly viewed as problems to be managed with surveillance. Across disparate domains, bodies that challenge normalized constructions of responsible neoliberal citizenship are categorized, monitored, policed, and excluded in dehumanizing and often violent ways. This paper explores the role of surveillance in such processes. The registers covered include everyday abjection (welfare systems, battered women's shelters, and homelessness) criminalized poverty (police targeting of the poor and emerging 'poverty capitalism' arrangements) and the radically adrift (the identification, tracking, and containment of refugees) In each of these cases, surveillance is yoked to structural inequalities and systems of oppression, but it also possesses a cultural dimension that thrusts marginalized and dehumanized subjectivities upon the abject Other. Therefore, I argue that in order to critique the gendered, racialized, and classed dimensions of contemporary surveillance, it is necessary to take seriously the mythologies that give meaning to surveillance practices and the subjectivities that are engendered by them.

Surveillance Studies and Violence Against Women
Surveillance, privacy and security are of paramount concern to technology users. One of the implications of these new forms of technologized surveillance that has received little attention is their implications for women fleeing violent situations. This article seeks to place questions of surveillance technologies into a theoretical framework that foregrounds the challenges that new surveillance technologies pose to anti violence movements. Specifically we address the impact of surveillance technologies in the practice of violence and some proposed solutions, and consider the ways that surveillance technologies are used disproportionately in the criminalization marginalized groups. By placing violence against women at the center of our analysis we aim to complicate concerns related to surveillance technologies.

The Work of Watching One Another: Lateral Surveillance, Risk, and Governance
This article explores a range of technologies for 'lateral surveillance' or peer monitoring arguing that in a climate of perceived risk and savvy skepticism individuals are increasingly adopting practices associated with marketing and law enforcement to gain information about friends, family members, and prospective love interests. The article argues that the adoption of such technologies corresponds with an ideology of 'responsibilization' associated with the risk society: that consumers need training in the consumption of services and the development of expertise to monitor one another. Rather than displacing 'top down' forms of monitoring, such practices emulate and amplify them, fostering the internalization of government strategies and their deployment in the private sphere. In an age in which everyone is to be considered potentially suspect, all are simultaneously urged to become spies.
