本文试图通过关注一种可以与之相比较的特殊形式：鸽子摄影，在更广泛的实践谱系中重新审视无人机图像。结合视觉社会符号学分析，无人机研究文献和档案研究，它突出了1908年至1912年间鸽子拍摄的照片和业余爱好者制作的当代无人机视觉效果之间共有的四个总体特征：垂直性，地理重新想象，进入无法进入的地方，以及空中自画像。通过这样做，它旨在更好地了解航空摄影的社会和物质启示/限制，其意义潜力以及它们如何在空间和时间上发生变化，以及其图像所反映和塑造的社会关系。文章最后对“新”与“旧”媒体之间的关系提出了一个微妙的视角，认为无人机和鸽子拍摄的图像在形式和功能上有相似之处，但它们的创作受到不同的意识形态价值观的指导，并受到当时的潜力，规范和传统的限制。这种观点建立在最近转向媒体研究的跨历史的方法，将看似新颖的当代传播技术的实践和使用的历史模式。
This article seeks to situate drone imagery within a more extensive lineage of practice by focusing on one particular form with which it is comparable: pigeon photography. Using a combination of visual social semiotic analysis, literature from Drone Studies, and archival research, it highlights four overarching characteristics shared between photographs taken by pigeons between 1908 and 1912 and contemporary drone visuals produced by hobbyists: verticality, geographical reimaginations, access to inaccessible places, and aerial self-portraits. In doing so, it aims to develop a better understanding of the social and material affordances/constraints of aerial photography, its meaning potentials and how they may have changed across space and time, and the social relations that are reflected in and shaped by its images. The article concludes by suggesting a nuanced perspective into the relationship between “new” and “old” media, arguing that images taken by drones and pigeons have similarities in their forms and functions, but their creation is guided by different ideological values and bounded by the potentials, norms, and traditions of the time. This perspective builds upon the recent turn in media studies toward transhistorical approaches to place seemingly novel contemporary communication technology within historical patterns of practice and use.
