In the wake of the attacks of 11 September 2001, and amid the expansion of US-led security policy, surveillance quickly insinuated itself into the fabric of everyday life in Canada. Practices once confined to military and intelligence operations now shape civilian spaces, where observation feels routine and scrutiny increasingly normalized as the cost of national and global security. Yet this apparent shift masks a deeper continuity: surveillance has long operated as a tool of settler-colonial control. Contemporary surveillance practices – often justified by the rhetoric of security and the War on Terror – extend earlier systems of classifying, managing, and extracting from populations under colonial and imperial rule.States of Observance examines this history through the lens of contemporary art, focussing on creative projects produced and exhibited from 2001 to 2021. Treating artworks and exhibitions as generative case studies, Susan Cahill argues that surveillance is not only a technological condition, but also a colonial way of seeing. The book demonstrates that artistic practice does more than reflect surveillance culture; it actively interrogates and reshapes how we understand the political, technological, and historical forces that sustain it. Cahill contends that art renders visible both the seen and unseen infrastructures that organize everyday life, challenging the normalization of surveillance and exposing its underlying logics.Amid intensifying debates over digital rights and colonial accountability, States of Observance explores how creative and curatorial practices reveal the hidden operations and colonial continuities of the contemporary surveillance state and their implications for social justice in Canada.

Spiritual experience is a liberating source of women's identity and their resistance to oppression. Moving from the Native American tale "The Creation of Spider Woman" and the poet-nun of Mexico Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz to the contemporary African American thinker Marian Wright Edelman and the Buddhist shaman Joan Halifax, these visionaries see justice and love, loss, aging, and freedom. It inspires them to artistic expression and political action. This deeply moving collection of memoirs, stories, poetry, letters, prayers, and theologies is a source of empowering and uplifting thought for women in any time, at any age.

When Irish culture and economics underwent rapid changes during the Celtic Tiger Years, Anne Enright, Colum McCann and Éilís Ní Dhuibhne began writing. Now that period of Irish history has closed, this study uncovers how their writing captured that unique historical moment. By showing how Ní Dhuibhne's novels act as considered arguments against attempts to disavow the past, how McCann's protagonists come to terms with their history and how Enright's fiction explores connections and relationships with the female body, Susan Cahill's study pinpoints common concerns for contemporary Irish writers: the relationship between the body, memory and history, between generations, and between past and present. Cahill is able to raise wider questions about Irish culture by looking specifically at how writers engage with the body. In exploring the writers' concern with embodied histories, related questions concerning gender, race, and Irishness are brought to the fore. Such interrogations of corporeality alongside history are imperative, making this a significant contribution to ongoing debates of feminist theory in Irish Studies.

For hundreds of years, the City of Light has set the stage for larger-than-life characters - from medieval lovers Heloise and Abelard to the defiant King Henri IV to the brilliant scientist Madame Curie, beloved chanteuse Edith Piaf, and the writer Colette. In this beautifully illustrated book, Susan Cahill recounts the lives of twenty-two famous Parisians and then takes you through the seductive streets of Paris to the quartiers where they lived and worked: their homes, the scenes of their greatest triumphs and tragedies, their favourite cafes, bars, and restaurants, and the off- the-beaten-track places where they found inspiration and love. From Sainte-Chapelle on the lie de la Cite to the cemetery Pere Lachaise to Montmartre and the Marais, Cahill not only brings to life the bold characters of a tumultuous history and the arts of painting, music, sculpture, film, and literature, she takes you on a relaxed walking tour in the footsteps of these celebrated Parisians.Each chapter opens with a beautiful four-colour illustration by photographer Marion Ranoux, and every tour begins with a Metro stop and ends with a list of 'Nearbys' - points of interest along the way, including cafes, gardens, squares, museums, bookstores, churches, and, of course, patisseries.
