Peeping On Tom - Staring to Stalking
2023 Jan - June
Part two - of -
Peeping On Tom.
I looked at the role of digital technologies in these voyeuristic acts. That broach boundaries of the private and challenge how we define terms within this contencious space.
- In October of 2021 TFL released a campaign that aimed to ‘stamp out sexual harrasment on public transport’, with seven iterations that called out different behaviours.
1. Catcalling
2. Exposing
3. Cyber-flashing
4. Pressing
5. Touching
6. Staring
7. Upskirting
Of all the provocations listed, ‘staring’ was the only one news outlets and social media latched onto, and caused debate on what connotated sexual harassment. To the detriment that people seemed unaware it was one of a series.
- Last November was the 10 year anniversary of when stalking became a prosecutable offence in England and Wales. But since then the law has had to adapt, in order to compensate for the more insidious acts that have emerged since the COVID-19 lockdowns to be prosecuted. Since, cases of peoples home systems being manipulated, lighting, heating, Alexas, have become prevalent. From the permanent deleting of private iCloud photos to the sending of horrific images to private printers.
Voyeurism when compared alongside stalking is much less of a social taboo, however its invasion of the private especially with the help and reach of digital technologies has the potential to be just as damaging. However it is a word that encompassses more than just these acts, but also joys we get from watching, which includes cinema. Making this a much murkier area of research.
