This book investigates how drone warfare is deeply gendered and how
this can be explored through the methodological framework of
'Haunting'. Utilising original interview data from British Reaper
drone crews, the book analyses the way killing by drones
complicates traditional understandings of masculinity and
femininity in warfare. As their role does not include physical
risk, drone crews have been critiqued for failing to meet the
masculine requirements necessary to be considered 'warriors' and
have been derided for feminising war. However, this book argues
that drone warfare, and the experiences of the crews, exceeds the
traditional masculine/feminine binary and suggests a new approach
to explore this issue. The framework of Haunting presented here
draws on the insights of Jacques Derrida, Avery Gordon, and others
to highlight four key themes - complex personhood,
in/(hyper)visibility, disturbed temporality and power - as frames
through which the intersection of gender and drone warfare can be
examined. This book argues that Haunting provides a framework for
both revealing and destabilising gendered binaries of use for
feminist security studies and International Relations scholars, as
well as shedding light on British drone warfare. This book will be
of interest to students of gender studies, sociology, war studies,
and critical security studies.
