Considers how people have confronted, challenged, and resisted
remote warfare Drone warfare is now a routine, if not predominant,
aspect of military engagement. Although this method of delivering
violence at a distance has been a part of military arsenals for two
decades, scholarly debate on remote warfare writ large has remained
stuck in tired debates about practicality, efficacy, and ethics.
Remote Warfare broadens the conversation, interrogating the
cultural and political dimensions of distant warfare and examining
how various stakeholders have responded to the reality of
state-sponsored remote violence. The essays here represent a
panoply of viewpoints, revealing overlooked histories of
remoteness, novel methodologies, and new intellectual challenges.
From the story arc of Homeland to redefining the idea of a
"warrior," these thirteen pieces consider the new nature of
surveillance, similarities between killing with drones and gaming,
literature written by veterans, and much more. Timely and
provocative, Remote Warfare makes significant and lasting
contributions to our understanding of drones and the cultural
forces that shape and sustain them. Contributors: Syed Irfan
