摘要

对于在加沙、巴基斯坦、也门和其他地方遭受无人机战争的人们来说,MQ-9死神(Reaper)等遥控空中系统造成的暴力和创伤,与从空中发射地狱火(Hellfire)和其他导弹的传感器、网络、算法和接口无关。残酷的死亡和伤害掩盖了精确的修辞、技术官僚的话语和技术科学的想象,这些都掩盖了无人机战争在民众和政治辩论中的优点。关于无人机操作员的创伤,人们已经说了很多,但关于无人机战争给受其影响的个人和社区带来的创伤却很少。在这篇短文中,我将探讨地面上的创伤是如何与构成军用无人机设备的媒体技术实体、过程和影响联系在一起的:传感器、网络、算法、接口、大气和导弹。我的核心论点是,无人机战争的创伤以无人机系统的暴力调解为特征,它在尚未感受到的创伤性暴力与已经为时过晚的经历之间产生了密切的关系。

Drone trauma: violent mediation and remote warfare
For people subject to drone war in Gaza, Pakistan, Yemen and elsewhere, the violence and trauma inflicted by remotely piloted aerial systems such as the MQ-9 Reaper takes place at a remove from the sensors, networks, algorithms and interfaces that launch Hellfire and other missiles from the air. Brutal death and wounding bely the precision rhetoric, technocratic discourses and technoscientific imaginaries that shroud drone warfare in popular and political debate over its merits. Much has been said about the traumas of drone operators, but less about the traumas produced by drone warfare in those individuals and communities subject to it. In this short article, I pursue the question of how those traumas on the ground are bound up with the media-technological entities, processes and affects that compose the military drone apparatus: sensors, networks, algorithms, interfaces, atmospheres and missiles. My core contention is that the trauma of drone warfare is characterised by the violent mediation of drone systems, which produce an intensive relation between the not-yet of traumatic violence having commenced before it is felt and the already-too-late of that experience.
