Philament is a free online journal of postgraduate scholarship in the
fields of cultural studies and the literary arts. It is edited and
published by students from the University of Sydney but aims to
develop an intellectual community that has both an interdisciplinary
and intercampus nature. Philament is designed to be a conduit for
uninhibited academic debate, critical discussion and creative
expression over a broad range of topics within the literary arts and
cultural studies.

Surveillance

?I had some funny dreams about it particularly while flying. I get to
customs, and the officer checks my passport. Punching data into the
computer, an alarm sounds. I?m wanted by the thought police in two
countries for crimes against culture. I?m taken away to an airless
room and forced to watch endless videos of Treasurer Peter Costello?s
budget speeches?.?
McKenzie Wark

??every novelist has something in common with a spy: he watches, he
overhears, he seeks motives and analyses character, and in his attempt
to serve literature he is unscrupulous.?
             Graham Greene
