在这篇文章中，我们认为，缺乏关注的“视觉转向”文学的现代性的视觉制度错过了一个关键方面的视觉如何产生和塑造国际作为一个网站-和视线-的政治。在证明系统化的观察方式是世界政治的核心时，我们认为，现代性的宏观制度有助于我们理解，特定的代表性实践和输出如何成为可能，在更广泛的话语中产生共鸣，成为权威的，真实的，和/或情感上的力量。为了做到这一点，我们借鉴了正在进行的关于通过无人机进行定点清除的争议。我们认为，关于无人机战争的合法性和治理的分歧不仅仅是关于动能应用的法律的法规和合法技术的分歧;它们还包括关于我们如何看待、我们看到谁、我们看到什么以及什么算作被看到的分歧。因此，通过展示视觉政权的重要性，我们提供了参与视觉如何在国际关系中产生政治的价值的证据。此外，我们主张国际关系与超越西方传统的视觉政权进行接触，以实现“视觉转向”的非殖民化。
In this article, we argue that the lack of attention paid to the scopic regimes of modernity in the ‘visual turn’ literature misses a key aspect of how visuality produces and shapes the international as both a site — and sight — of politics. In making the case that systemised ways of seeing are central to world politics, we contend that the scopic regimes of modernity help us to understand how it becomes possible for particular representational practices and outputs to resonate within broader discourses as authoritative, truthful, and/or emotively powerful. To do so, we draw from ongoing controversies over targeted killing via drones. We argue that disagreements over the legality and governance of drone warfare are more than disputes over legal statutes and legitimate techniques for the application of kinetic force; they also encompass disagreements over how we see, who we see, what we see, and what counts as being seen. Thus, by demonstrating the importance of scopic regimes, we provide evidence of the value of engaging with how the visual produces the political in International Relations. Moreover, we argue for International Relations to engage with scopic regimes from beyond Western traditions in order to decolonise the ‘visual turn’.
