This first open issue of 2018 presents a variety of contextually grounded articles on surveillance dynamics. The pieces range from the negotiation of police traffic cameras, to resistance to state intelligence programs, to counter-hooliganism schemes at sporting arenas, to gendered subjectivities cultivated and mediated by film. The issue also includes ten new book reviews.

• Sun-ha Hong on surveillance critique;
