State and Spectacle: Riot and the Cinematic Aesthetics of the Metropolitan Police

我的研究有两个中心目标-分析大都会警察部队的美学表现，并了解他们如何交叉，并与周围的监测，控制和Tiratelli所谓的“情境动态”的公共空间在伦敦的代表性更广泛的话语互动。聚焦于三个关键的历史时刻，1958年的诺丁山骚乱，1985年的布里克斯顿骚乱和2011年的伦敦骚乱，我将探索警察部队在日常公共生活中的角色以及在骚乱和壮观的政治纠纷中的角色的变化方式。我的研究将涉及这些表征与英国身份，种族，法律和秩序的更广泛话语的变化方式。

My research has two central aims - to analyse aesthetic representations of the Metropolitan Police Forceand to understand how they intersect and interact with the wider discourses around the monitoring,control and representation of what Tiratelli has called the 'situational dynamics' of public space inLondon. Focusing on three key historical moments, the Notting Hill Riots of 1958, the Brixton Riots of1985 and the London Riots of 2011, I will explore the changing ways in which police forces have beenvisualised - and visualise themselves - both in terms of their role in everyday public life and in momentsof riot and spectacular political dissensus. My research will engage with the changing ways theserepresentations have intersected with the broader discourses of British identity, race and law and order.
