Roger Stahl

Through the Crosshairs

War, Visual Culture, and the Weaponized Gaze

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Through the Crosshairs traces the genealogy of the weaponized gaze—camera footage framed from the perspective of a military drone, a descending smart bomb, or a sniper’s telescopic sights. Tracking these images across a variety of media, including news reports, action movies, and video games, Roger Stahl explores how they have influenced public perceptions.
