The Poetics of 20th-Century Surveillance
University of Melbourne

Parkville campus

Over the course of the 20th century, the Federal Bureau of Investigation developed an obsession with the content, form and authors of modern American poetry. At the same time, poetry underwent a series of radical changes in the ways that it communicated ideas of privacy, observation and the self.

The inextricability of poetry and surveillance during this period offers a new and productive framework for theorising our current techno-political crisis. In this lecture, Dr Tyne Daile Sumner will discuss how the deceptively simple arena of poetry became a source of intense focus for the FBI and, subsequently, a crucial site for seeing, watching, evaluating and surveilling.
