Abstract
ABSTRACTIs surveillance a weapon? Does it have a destructive dimension, destructive effects and consequences? Revisiting Foucault on the productive dimensions of power, this article attends to these questions by focusing on the question of subjectivity. It acknowledges the importance of reflections that take the target of surveillance as their primary concerns – Islamophobia – but proposes that vigilance and insomnia (notions that were conceptualized in Levinas’ early work) provide the premises of a different account of surveillance and the nature of its power.
