| Abstract: | This seminar considered the relationship between modernism and the politics of observation. It borrows its concept from Mass Observation, a social research organization that collected data on ordinary British citizens from 1937-1950. Despite its democratizing effort to give voice and agency to the public, Mass Observation became an exercise in surveillance, anticipating the rise of surveillance practices in a postwar world. The seminar took an interdisciplinary approach to the theme of observation by exploring intersections between modernism and everyday life – from fashion to pub culture to public transportation. | ||||
