  • Domesticity at War

    Open AccessCaren KaplanARTICLECatalyst Feminism Theory…2023

    The uneven, sometimes violent relationship between “here” and “elsewhere” is evoked powerfully in Martha Rosler’s House Beautiful: Bringing the War Home—two linked sets of photomontages that engage the gender and racial politics of domesticity in the US as well as the geopolitics of empire. Troubling mythologies of warfare and documentary realism with dazzling wit and critical fury, these works refer materially and specifically to places and time…

  • Weaponizing Airspace

    Caren KaplanARTICLEFeminist Studies2023

    Weaponizing Airspace Caren Kaplan (bio) i begin with the staggering fact that the state of Israel has dropped more than 25,000 tons of explosives on the Gaza strip since October 7, 2023.1 This is the equivalent of two nuclear bombs. If this was the first time that war had rained down from the skies over Gaza, we would still be horrified. But this is not the first time. Toward the end of World War I, and in the British push to attain territorial d…

  • Figurations

    Claudia Castañeda, Inderpal Grewal et al.BOOKFigurations2020

    Always in the process of becoming, inherently incomplete, the child is a remarkably malleable figure. In Figurations, Claudia Castañeda shows how this malleability is itself generated-how the child is "made" by different constituencies and how the resulting historically, geographically, and culturally specific figures are put to widely divergent uses, often to very powerful effect. Situated at the intersection of feminist, postcolonial, cultural,…

  • Transnational Feminist Practices Against War

    Paola Bacchetta, Tina M Campt et al.ARTICLEMeridians2020Citada por: 7

    This piece was written collaboratively as a response to the bombing of sites in Afghanistan in September 2001 as the United States began to retaliate for Al-Queda attacks on U.S. targets. Anticipating the invasion and occupation of Iraq and a broader, globalized “War on Terror,” the authors wanted to offer an antiracist, antinationalist feminist analysis that insisted recognizing the importance of histories of colonialism and empire in the struct…

  • "Drones as "Atmospheric Policing

    Caren Kaplan, Andrea Miller et al.ARTICLEPublic Culture2019Citada por: 16Referencias: 49

    The use of drones to supplement and operationalize US border enforcement and municipal policing disturbs the supposed boundary between military and civilian or battleground and home front. Situating drones in an expanded field of a war power-police power nexus draws together histories of so-called small wars, insurgencies, civil rebellions, labor strikes, prison uprisings, and practices of resistance at various scales that have responded and cont…

  • Aerial Aftermaths

    Caren KaplanBOOKAerial Aftermaths2018

    From the first vistas provided by flight in balloons in the eighteenth century to the most recent sensing operations performed by military drones, the history of aerial imagery has marked the transformation of how people perceived their world, better understood their past, and imagined their future. In Aerial Aftermaths Caren Kaplan traces this cultural history, showing how aerial views operate as a form of world-making tied to the times and plac…

  • Air power's visual legacy

    Caren KaplanARTICLECritical Military Studies2015Citada por: 1Referencias: 10

    The images contained in the Operation Orchard public archive represent a convergence of technologies, politics, and warcraft that can only emerge across a century of air power. Their interpretation refers to older modes of camouflage and deceptive practices from the espionage and tactical manuals of an earlier era in modernity even as the virtual and digital practices of the twenty-first century appear to destabilize the powers of legitimation th…

  • Precision Targets

    Open AccessCaren KaplanARTICLETheory Culture & Society2009Citada por: 5Referencias: 4

    In the case of the attacks in Mumbai in November 2008 two primary discourses generative of biopolitics in the global matrix of war can be identified as a framework of knowledge about mobile technologies: first, that national security is threatened by the use of digital information technologies heavily symbolized by the use of mobile devices and the perceived manipulation of otherwise neutral forms of media by those deemed to be enemies; and, seco…
