webinar regarding “knowledge synthesis and mobilization grants: brain health and reduction of risk for age-related cognitive impairment" funding opportunity.
the capitol riots of january 6, 2021 was arguably the most filmed and photographed riot in history. the smashing of a window by proud boy dominic pelozza was photographed and widely shared online. participants posted thousands of selfies and selfie-videos to social media, in which they were performing, confirming, or boasting about crimes they were committing. this is known as performance crime--the performance of criminal activity in which filming or photographing one’s crime and sharing it with an audience is intrinsic to the crime itself. many of these selfies and selfie-videos were subsequently used as evidence in legal cases against the capitol rioters. in this talk, sandra jeppesen explores how performance crimes played out during the capitol riots, and how citizens in general are increasingly putting themselves under surveillance, knowingly or not, doing the work of the police in tracking, collecting evidence, and prosecuting crimes against themselves.
