Abstract
This work explores photography’s potential to return the gaze and challenge powerholders within spaces of control. The authors analyzed 167 photographs from the Japanese American National Museum Jack Iwata Photo Collection to understand disciplinary mechanisms within a carceral landscape and the potential surveillance therein. The authors concluded that these historical photographs can not only supplement historical narratives of internment but also provide insight on methods of actual and potential visibility. At the same time, the authors contend that Iwata’s images are composed in ways that challenge authority.
