  • Race, Surveillance, Resistance
    Race, Surveillance, Resistance CHAZ ARNETT The increasing capability of surveillance technology in the hands of law enforcement is radically changing the power, size, and depth of the surveillance state. More daily activities are being captured and scrutinized, larger quantities of personal and biometric data are being extracted and analyzed, in what is becoming a deeply intensified and pervasive surveillance society. This reality is particularly troubling for Black communities, as they shoulder a disproportionate share of the burden and harm associated with these powerful surveillance measures, at a time when traditional mechanisms for accountability have grown weaker. These harms include the maintenance of legacies of state sponsored, racialized surveillance that uphold systemic criminalization, dispossession, and exploitation of Black communities. This Article highlights Baltimore City, Maryland as an example of an urban area facing extraordinary challenges posed by an expanding police surveillance apparatus, fueled in part by corruption and limited channels of formal constraint. As Black residents experience the creep of total surveillance and its attendant aims of control and subordination, the need for avenues of effective resistance becomes apparent. This Article argues that these communities may draw hope and inspiration from another period in American history where Black people were subjected to seemingly complete surveillance with limited legal recourse: chattel slavery. People enslaved in or passing through Maryland used a variety of means to resist surveillance practices, demonstrating creativity, bravery, and resourcefulness as they escaped to freedom on the Underground Railroad. Internalizing and building upon these lessons of agency and resistance will be critical for Black communities in Baltimore and other similarly situated places across America that are seeking relief from the repressive effects of pervasive police surveillance.

  • Netflix's Documentaries Reveal a Darker Side of Arranged Marriages
    Netflix’s documentaries reveal a darker side of Arranged Marriages September 6, 2020 by Anirban Chanda and Sahil Bansal Marriage is considered to be one of the many important institutions that ensure social cohesion in a society. The concept of ‘arranged marriages’ has been a popular part of the Indian culture for centuries now. In India, a noticeable absurdity about ‘arranged’ marriages is the fact that the choice and/or consent of the parties are considered insignificant. Instead, the respective families hijack the entire matchmaking process and negotiate the terms of the nuptial relation. This might seem unreasonable, old-fashioned, and very patriarchal to all those who are not familiar with the customs in India. Several film-makers have made documentaries and movies which portray the nitty-gritty of arranged marriages in the middle and upper-middle-class families in the country. In the recent past, two such films that have attracted several eyeballs are Netflix’s Indian Matchmaking, and a 2017 documentary titled A Suitable Girl. This article endeavors to discuss some parts of these two films while exploring major social factors like caste, class, stereotypical preferences, the role of marriage intermediaries, and the decisional autonomy of bachelorette women, all of which continue to remain a dominant force in choosing life partners in India. It may be prudent, to begin with, a synopsis of the two films that we wish to discuss. A Suitable Girl & Indian Matchmaking The 2017 documentary, A Suitable Girl, narrates the story of three Indian women, Dipti, Ritu, and Amrita. All three of them are educated, middle-class women.

  • What the Reaction to Jacob Blake's Shooting Tells Us About Political
    USApp – American Politics and Policy Blog: What the reaction to Jacob Blake’s shooting tells us about political polarization in America Page 1 of 3 What the reaction to Jacob Blake’s shooting tells us about political polarization in America Jacob Blake’s shooting by police in August in Kenosha, Wisconsin, and the subsequent local and national protests in response have generally been covered by the national media along partisan lines, especially in light of the 2020 presidential election. Aubri McDonald writes that by examining how events such as these are understood, or framed, we can start to better understand opposing views, and potentially reduce political polarization. News of the Jacob Blake shooting on 23 August came in the form of a text from a friend and my former PhD advisor. It read: “Polarization Comes to a Classroom Near You.” Attached was a news story with the headline: “Kenosha, Wisconsin – White Cop Shoots Unarmed Black Man… Seven Times, Point-Blank.” “No way” I thought. I had left Chicago for a more peaceful existence. I’m a professor at the University of Wisconsin, Parkside in Kenosha, a smallish town along Lake Michigan. The university is down the road from where the Jacob Blake shooting occurred and where two protesters were killed two days later. The start of Fall semester was less than two weeks away. My Fall class lineup includes Police & Society and courses that deal with Race & Crime and Media & Crime. The shooting of Jacob Blake had swung the media spotlight over to Kenosha making it the latest ground zero for racial animus and scrutiny of law enforcement.

  • Laughing About Caste an Analysis of How Caste Considerations Find Representation in the Genre of English Stand- up Comedy on the Internet in India
    Connections: A Journal of Language, Media and Culture Laughing About Caste An analysis of how caste considerations find representation in the genre of English stand- up comedy on the internet in India Shreyashi Ganguly1 1 Department of Sociology, University of Victoria, British Columbia, Canada E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The literature on humour in India has largely evaded the question of how humour intersects with caste stratification. Not much has been written about humour’s potential to discriminate against certain caste groups of the lower social order. Similarly, the traditional media in India has been silent about the issue of caste following which, social media has emerged as the ‘counter publics’ where caste identity can be collectively and freely expressed. Taking the now flourishing brand of English stand-up comedy on the Internet in India as an entry point, this study investigates if the symbolic articulation of caste identities is at all made possible in this genre. Using a combination of discourse analysis and social media analysis, to examine the jokes produced in stand-up shows, in this paper I try to gauge how frequently, and in what ways, caste finds mention in these performances on the Internet. I find that caste identity, and the associated discrimination, are hardly evoked in the comedians’ discourse. And when spoken about, they are often done so in a disparaging light. I conclude this paper by illuminating the ways in which this disparaging humour bolsters caste discrimination, sustains stereotypes and, in the process, conditions the normalized exclusion of lower-caste groupings from the public sphere.

We've done a lot for the State, and we will continue to do a lot for the State. We're all in this together, and this was an example of what can happen when you do it right.
