NOMINATED AND SHORT LISTED FOR THE SURVEILLANCE STUDIES BOOK PRIZE
2011! This theoretically informed research explores what the
development and transformation of air travel has meant for
societies and individuals. * Brings together a number of
interdisciplinary approaches towards the aeroplane and its relation
to society * Presents an original theory that our societies are
aerial societies, or 'aerealities', and shows how we are both
enabled and threatened by aerial mobility * Features a series of
detailed international case studies which map the history of
aviation over the past century - from the promises of early flight,
to World War II bombing campaigns, and to the rise of international
terrorism today * Demonstrates the transformational capacity of air
transport to shape societies, bodies and individual identities *
Offers startling historical evidence and bold new ideas about how
the social and material spaces of the aeroplane are considered in
the modern era
