From Gazing Images to Operational Images: A Study on Military UAVs’ Interface from the Perspective of Phenomenology of Gestures
The use of UAVs has changed the execution of action, memory, and representation of contemporary warfare, which involves in communication directly without serving as any content. However, previous media studies on military UAVs have employed an ocularcentrism discourse which adopts the classical screen apparatus of the film as its paradigm and obscured the UAVs’ role as action apparatus and the body’s important part in it. Through the phenomenological analysis on the interface apparatus and the operation gesture of the military UAVs, this study tries to reveal a different kind of embodied relationship between humans, images and apparatus. The operation in a interface reunifies the multiple functions of apparatus and the operator, and realizes the telepresence of the body, which should be interpreted as a embodied practice of aiming instead of being summarized by the optical surveillance. In this feedback mechanism with operational images as the knot, the operator identifies with the apparatus through the synchronization of body operation and visual feedback in the image, and the presence of the body runs through multiple spaces, forming a new kind of subject, a distributed subject. As a result, vision and touch, previously separated by visual media, are reunified into the body as a whole, so vision falls from a transcendent and exclusive status. In the operation, images hide as a transparent surface to the human senses, while also shielding the hermeneutic technical code text. The unification of operation not only reconstructs the sensory configuration of media, but also shows a new human-image-world relationship which is brought by the technological development.

As surveillance and military devices, drones—or ‘unmanned aerial vehicles’—offer a prism for theorizing the technological politics of warfare and governance. This prism reveals some violent articulations of US imperialism and nationalism, the dehumanizing translation of bodies into ‘targets’ for remote monitoring and destruction, and the insidious application of militarized systems and rationalities to domestic territories and populations. In this article, we analyze the deployment of drones within warzones in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Pakistan and borderzones and urban areas in the USA. What we call ‘the drone stare’ is a type of surveillance that abstracts people from contexts, thereby reducing variation, difference, and noise that may impede action or introduce moral ambiguity. Through these processes, drones further normalize the ongoing subjugation of those marked as Other.
