Surveillance and Terror in Post-9/11 British and American Television illuminates how the U.S. and U.K., bound by an historical, cultural, and television partnership, have broadcast numerous programs centred on three state surveillance apparatuses tasked with protecting us from terrorism and criminal activity: the prison, the police, and the national intelligence agency. Drawing from a range of case studies, such as Sherlock, Orange is the New Black and The Night Manager, this book discusses how television allows viewers, writers, and producers to articulate fears about an increased erosion of privacy and civil liberties following 9/11, while simultaneously expressing a desire for a preventative mechanism that can stop such events occurring in the future. However, these concerns and desires are not new; encompassing surveillance narratives both past and present, this book demonstrates how television today builds on earlier narratives about panoptic power to construct our present understanding of government surveillance. 650 0 $a Television plays, American $x Themes, motives. 650 0 $a Television plays, English $x Themes, motives. 650 0 $a Surveillance on television. 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9783030169008 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317015924.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20200103021607.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=68E27F78FF9A11E9A2D37E2597128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
