For here there is no place that does not see you: MINORITY REPORT and art as de/legitimisation

Abstract

The article argues that art is part of a panoptic culture in a twofold sense: first, as long as it holds fast to an emphatic claim to truth and, by association, perfection; second, as long as it remains fixated on visuality, as is primarily the case in film. The article tests this double assumption by analysing a popular work of art from the modern age, the film MINORITY REPORT.
