“Surveillance City”

https://antipodeonline.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/From-Harjant-Gill-08.05.26_images-e1778668960275.png

Directed by Harjant Gill and Pearl Sandhu and featuring Professor Inderpal Grewal, Surveillance City takes viewers on a journey through contemporary #Delhi, narrating a city marked by the extreme inequality resultant of decades of neoliberalism, and highlighting the insidious work of an authoritarian state deploying surveillance and securitisation measures to govern diverse populations and temper unrest. It’s a powerful meditation on masculinism and militarism, populism and patriarchy, the aesthetics and affects of security, nationalism and religion, policing and the law, discourses of terror, fear of the other, the role of the media, but also dissent, protest, and the prospects of democracy in a postcolonial state.

Ebola, polio, HIV: it’s dangerous to mix healthcare and foreign policy | Sophie Harman
▻http://www.theguardian.com/global-development/poverty-matters/2014/aug/14/ebola-polio-hiv-healthcare-foreign-policy

recent revelations from Cuba – where it was revealed that the US Agency for International Development (#USAid) had used #HIV_prevention work as a smokescreen for fomenting political opposition – should ignite a debate about the necessity of keeping the work of public health agencies, security services and foreign policy separate. (...)

The so-called “#securitisation” of healthcare is not new. (...)

In #Pakistan, #CIA operatives masqueraded as #polio vaccinators to gain greater access to Osama bin Laden’s compound. (...)

The ability of western governments and agencies to act as emergency providers of healthcare, and as honest brokers, will be increasingly reduced unless we agree that the provision of healthcare should be sacrosanct and protected from motives best realised by other means.

The “blue water” between global health and international security continues to narrow, as the UK foreign and commonwealth office encroaches further on the Department for International Development. Meanwhile, the US state department continues to treat USAid as an extension of its operations.
