The Configuration of Financial Surveillance

The presentation aims to question dynamics of surveillance and control in relation to the fight against money laundering and terrorist financing. While the blurred notion of dirty money has become the meeting point of a constellation of interests, we argue that the configuration of financial surveillance works on the basis of a misapprehension. Here, misapprehension is the main condition of possibility rather than an obstacle to the mobilization against dirty money that produces unexpected effects.

Everyone welcome!
