Excellent- More about Gender and Drone Warfare: A Hauntological Perspective
This book explores how drone warfare is deeply gendered and how this can be explored through the methodological framework of 'Haunting'. It argues that drone crews have been critiqued for failing to meet the masculine requirements necessary to be considered 'warriors' but that drone warfare exceeds the traditional masculine/feminine binary and suggests a new approach to explore this issue. The framework of Haunting 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.

This book delves into the profound gendered aspects of drone warfare and explores them through the methodological framework of 'Haunting'. By utilizing original interview data from British Reaper drone crews, the book analyzes how the act of killing by drones complicates traditional notions of masculinity and femininity in warfare. Despite the fact that drone crews do not face physical risk, they have faced criticism for failing to meet the masculine standards required to be deemed 'warriors' and have even been derided for feminizing war. However, this book contends that drone warfare and the experiences of the crews transcend the traditional masculine/feminine binary and presents a fresh approach to understanding this issue.
The framework of Haunting presented here draws upon the insights of Jacques Derrida, Avery Gordon, and other scholars to highlight four key themes: complex personhood, in/(hyper)visibility, disturbed temporality, and power. These themes serve as frames through which the intersection of gender and drone warfare can be examined.
The book argues that Haunting offers a valuable framework for both revealing and destabilizing gendered binaries that are of use to feminist security studies and International Relations scholars. It also sheds light on British drone warfare.
This book will be of interest to students of gender studies, sociology, war studies, and critical security studies.
