翻译后摘要：本文探讨了美国军用无人机的使用如何（重新）组织日常生活在世界的一些地区，通过垂直调解的做法产生一个新的被剥夺公民权的目标类。作者认为，对无人机技术和战争的批判性分析需要超越Paul Virilio对飞机、相机和枪支的技术融合的重要认识，包括更仔细地考虑垂直领域、物质资源（燃料、劳动力、土地、硬件、网络、数据、天空、轨道）和指挥层级，使地球上的生命得以空中重组。正如认识到无人机战争是如何通过远程控制、模拟和游戏系统组织起来的一样，认识到它的基础和具体维度、登记和存档无人机使用和影响的景观和自动地形也同样重要。
Abstract:This article explores how US military drone use has (re)organized everyday life in some parts of the world by producing a new disenfranchised targeted class through practices of vertical mediation. The author argues that the critical analysis of drone technology and warfare needs to extend beyond Paul Virilio’s important recognition of the technological fusion of the airplane, the camera, and the gun to include more careful consideration of the vertical fields, material resources (fuel, labor, lands, hardware, networks, data, sky, orbit) and hierarchies of command that enable aerial restructuring of life on earth. Just as it is important to recognize how drone warfare is organized through systems of remote-control, simulation, and gaming, it is equally important to acknowledge its grounded and embodied dimensions, the landscapes and auto-topographies that register and archive the drone’s uses and affects.
