Captive Images - Race, Crime, Photography

Informationen zum Autor Katherine Biber is a legal scholar and historian in the Division of Law at Macquarie University, Australia, and has been a community worker and a film critic. Klappentext Captive Images examines the lawa (TM)s treatment of photographic evidence and uses it to investigate the relationship between law, image and fantasy. Based around the scholarly examination of a bank robbery, in which a surveillance camera captures the robbery in progress, Katherine Biber draws upon critical writing from psychoanalysis, postcolonialism, art, law, literature and feminism to 'read' this crime, its texts and its images. The result is an interdisciplinary study of crime that unfolds a compelling narrative about race relations, national identity and fear. This book is an essential read for all levels of law students studying, or interested in, law, criminology and cultural studies. Zusammenfassung This interdisciplinary study of crime analyzes the legal use of photographs from surveillance cameras in order to unfold a compelling narrative about race relations, national identity and fear.
