Errol Morris\; documentary (103 min.)A groundbreaking and controversial film from renegade documentary filmmaker Morris\, whose films include Gates of Heaven\, A Brief History of Time\, and The Fog of War (which won the 2004 Oscar for Best Documen tary Feature). Here\, Morris investigates the murder of a Dallas police officer during a routine traffic stop ' weaving together interviews\, dr amatic re-creations of the crime\, and Philip Glass' hypnotic score to t ell a story with more sensationalized twists and turns than a dime novel . The significant aftermath of this film (for the criminal case\, and fo r the commercial viability of documentary films) is nearly as compelling as the film's subject matter.

T hroughout all three examples\, the affects of dispossession and displace ment are depicted through the construction of the domestic sphere and st ruggles over property ownership. These texts demonstrate the limits of t he agencies promises of 'a new life' through relocation and the psychic impact of agencies' 'citizen-making.'

Her book- in-progress\, Domestic Containment\, is a comparative analysis of the intersections between the mid-20th century dispersal of Japanese Am ericans out of the internment camps and Native Americans off the reserva tion by U.S. government agencies. Her interdisciplinary project elucidat es the state's policy shift from physical containment to containment thr ough assimilation ideologies through a narrative analysis of relocation agency propaganda and training manuals. She then turns to contemporary l iterature and film to explore articulations of the long-term psychic eff ects of dispossession\, dispersal and displacement alongside imagined st rategies for survival.
