Postkoloniale Sichtbarkeiten. Durch Deleuzes Methode inspirierte Fragen

Author(s): Chow, Rey

Abstract

Beyond the popular reading of Discipline and Punish as a treatise on surveillance, what can Foucault's work on visibility teach us in a postcolonial world? In reference to Deleuze and Helen Grace as well as Foucault, this essay considers questions of visibility in the contemporary, global terrain of image-capturing and redemption. In particular, it asks what happens when the crucial element of time lag collapses – when images, in which past events are supposedly recorded, become instantaneous with actual happenings.
