520 "Examining how undocumented migrants are using film, video,
and other documentary media to challenge surveillance,
detention, and deportation As debates over immigration
increasingly become flashpoints of political contention in
the United States, a variety of advocacy groups, social
service organizations, filmmakers, and artists have
provided undocumented migrants with the tools and training
to document their experiences. In The Undocumented
Everyday, Rebecca M. Schreiber examines the significance
of self-representation by undocumented Mexican and Central
American migrants, arguing that by centering their own
subjectivity and presence through their use of documentary
media, these migrants are effectively challenging
intensified regimes of state surveillance and liberal
strategies that emphasize visibility as a form of
empowerment and inclusion. Schreiber explores
documentation as both an aesthetic practice based on the
visual conventions of social realism and a state-
administered means of identification and control. As
Schreiber shows, by visualizing new ways of belonging not
necessarily defined by citizenship, these migrants are
remaking documentary media, combining formal visual
strategies with those of amateur photography and
performative elements to create a mixed-genre aesthetic.
In doing so, they make political claims and create new
forms of protection for migrant communities experiencing
increased surveillance, detention, and deportation"--
