这篇文章展示了军国主义的视觉文化是如何形成的,作为原地踏实的“厚重”地缘政治的一部分。它借鉴了对英国军用航空展的历史描述和经验观察,并通过“观察实践”的概念对其进行了解读。本文认为,军事场面和流行军国主义的想象力和修辞力与其明显的空间封闭性有关,即看到和做在现场。通过认真对待英国航展的空间和感官体验,该论文扩展了最近在批评地缘政治方面的工作,质疑体验的空间化政治,并将它们与旅游的文化地理进行对话。它简要介绍了航空的壮观起源以及航展在治国实践中的应用,并展示了航展是军事化文化现象中的一个重要元素。本文通过说明为什么观察实践的概念不应该与军事成为视觉好奇对象的空间的考虑相分离,从而推动了围绕批判性地缘政治学中“视觉之物”的辩论。因此,它扩大了有观察力的实践作为对流行军事文化的批评的潜力。
This paper demonstrates how visual cultures of militarism take shape as part of a ‘thick’ geopolitics of being‐in‐place. It draws on historical accounts of, and empirical observations at, British military airshows, which it interprets via the concept of ‘observant practice’. The paper argues that the imaginative and rhetorical force of military spectacle and popular militarism are tied to its markedly enclavic spatiality, i.e. to seeing and doing in‐place. By taking seriously the spatial and sensory experience of British airshows, the paper extends recent work in critical geopolitics that questions the spatialised politics of experience, and brings them into dialogue with cultural geographies of tourism. It provides a brief history of the spectacular origins of aviation and of the use of airshows to the practice of statecraft, and demonstrates how airshows are an important element in the cultural phenomenon of militarisation. The paper takes forward debates around ‘the vision thing’ in critical geopolitics by illustrating why the notion of observant practice should not be dissociated from consideration of the spaces in and through which militaries become the object of visual curiosity. It expands, therefore, the potential of observant practice as a critique of popular military cultures.
