The National Security Sublime

On the Aesthetics of Government Secrecy

More about the book

Exploring the interplay between government secrecy and the aesthetic of the sublime, this work examines how post-War American art, film, television, and fiction reflect themes of surveillance on a grand scale. Potolsky argues that these depictions reveal deeper insights into the nature of modern intelligence, highlighting the tension between individual perception and vast governmental power. The analysis offers a fresh perspective on contemporary representations of authority and control in society.
