Abstract

Identity politics refers to political arguments or movements that cater to the interests, perspectives and concerns of social groups identified mainly on the basis of gender, race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, ideology, nationality, cultural preferences, medical conditions, professions or hobbies. The relationship between identity politics and surveillance is multilayered: surveillance is often seen as a specific management of the relative visibilities and visibility asymmetries; also, the advocacy and the implementation of identity politics-driven policies carry a surveillance potential. Special forms of surveillance come up in the context of ethno-racial identity politics concerning the inherently arbitrary nature of official, politico-legal definitions for groups and membership criteria, and the materialization of free choice of identity.
