*Image Operations in the Security zone*

June 19th, Goethe University Frankfurt, 9:00-18:00, Eisenhower Saal, IG 
Farben building

Bringing together a variety of perspectives, this symposium is set to 
inquire into the role of imaging techniques in operations related to 
security: optimization, regulation, surveillance, military defense and 
targeting. Imaging technologies are based on the logic of enhancement, 
applied to both the mechanical and human, creating a feedback loop of 
lethal machines, opto- sensorial systems and social formations of danger 
and safety. Image Operations in the Security Zone thus seeks to 
demarcate an omnipresent ontological condition: to be secured. That is, 
to remain in a demarcated time and space where people and things are 
calm, regulated, predictable, under control. At the same time, other 
bodies are marked as unstable and threatening, engraved into clandestine 
scenarios in the security zone.

Participants:
CAREN KAPLAN, Professor of American Studies, UC Davis
