Dear All, Apologies for crossposting. Please find below a CFP for a panel I'm organizing with Benjamin Butler on digital visual mediums and the politics behind them for the International Studies Association Annual Conference, held March 16-19 in Atlanta. We hope this might be of interest to some! ------- *Title: *Viewing Politics and the Politics of Viewing - Visuality, Resolution, and Digital Technologies As subjects within a digitizing world, we both view and are viewed through the various lenses that bring our daily lives into focus. These actions make spaces intelligible, help us connect with friends and colleagues, and help us pass the time. While new technologies both help with and condition how we organize and manage our daily lives, they also disrupt, impose, and enable new forms of socio-technical relations. Their shaping of the field of possibilities manifests through the targeting, technification and digitization of material, social, and political spaces. This panel explores the socio-political effects of these means by thinking through the discourses, understandings, and uses of particular (digital) technologies. Focusing on digital visual mediums such as games, satellites, or imaging, panelists ask how using these technologies to view the earth, its landscapes and inhabitants, destabilizes the nature of what it means to be the viewer, viewed or both. This panel invites papers that critically reflect upon the ways that imaging technologies are both limits on, and generative of, the politics of space and management of territory. Example keywords - technology; satellites; games; viewing; targeting; political geography; surveillance; biopolitics *Please email abstracts of no more than 200 words to Sandra Yao at sandra.yao@uottawa.ca <sandra.yao@uottawa.ca> no later than May 28th.* -- Sandra J.
