Scales of Intimacy
We came to edit this special issue on “Intimacies of Scale” for Feminist Media Histories through networks of friendship. In the process, we began to understand friendship not as a space of intimacy, but as a medium that should be considered a significant, if often unacknowledged, structure underlying academic scholarship. We believe that academic friendship and collaboration operate as media of communication, across which ideas, affect, and proxi…
Home Drone
Amazon launched the Ring Always Home Camera with a promotional video featuring the mobile security drone flying into action to stop a home intruder. The addition of the domestic security drone into the housewife’s arsenal expands the everyday militarism of security subjectivity, even as it imagines a “better” domestic laborer—one trained not only to be watchful but also to patrol the home and protect property. The Ring Always Home Camera suggests…

This paper offers a preliminary investigation of the global crowdfunding platform Kickstarter as an emerging arts institution. Drawing on Kim Stanley Robinson and Marina Abramović’s artistic collaboration as a case st…

Unsettling Aerial Surveillance
Aerial surveillance by unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) or drones played a prominent role in the “water is life” actions undertaken by “water protectors” to defend the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation’s water source from the proposed Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL). By considering how the water protectors deployed drones in their actions, this article shows that decolonizing surveillance studies in the settler-colonial context must follow the work of…
