    • Abstract:
      The publication of Gary T. Marx's (2016), Windows into the Soul, comes at a good time. As the study of surveillance continues to grow in the social sciences, scholars will benefit from the disciplinary rigor of the book, which encourages a broader consideration of the contexts in which surveillance occurs and a deeper recognition of its dynamism as a social practice. In this brief essay on Marx's grand work, I reflect on how these insights could be extended by more critically considering the cultural contexts of surveillance studies and the potential points of connection with research on materiality.
