Aerial Geographies: mobilities, subjects, visualities

这项拟议的研究将完成一本名为《航空地理：流动性、主题、视觉》的书。这本书将讲述飞机及其空间对人体的影响。以前对飞机的研究采取了各种形式。关于航空和流行文化之间的关系；飞机对战争的影响；或者实际上，飞机的地点和空间，如机场航站楼的居住，都有很大的篇幅。然而，这些研究中的许多都有两个主要缺陷。首先，他们缺乏对飞机及其影响是如何被肉体主体体验的理解-超越了图像或飞行的视觉奇观的领域。此外，他们忽略了这个主题的想象力是如何构思和计算的，以便它可能被控制或转化。其次，他们倾向于忽视飞机构成和组成的地理位置；从航站楼到机舱，从空域到下面被摧毁的空间。这项拟议的研究将使调查员能够完成《航空地理》一书：这是一本研究专著，旨在通过在历史和当代时间框架和不同地理背景下进行详细和多样化的案例研究来处理这些问题。

The proposed research will enable the completition of a book entitled Aerial Geographies: mobilities, subjects, visualities. The volume will address the impact of the aeroplane and its spaces upon the human subject. Previous research upon the aeroplane has taken various forms. Significant volumes have addressed the relationship between aviation and popular culture; the impact of the aeroplane on war; or, indeed, the inhabitation of the sites and spaces of the aeroplane such as the airport terminal. However, many of these studies do so with two main shortcomings. Firstly, they lack an understanding of how the aeroplane and its impacts are experienced by a fleshy, bodily subject - going beyond the realms of pictoral imagery or the visual spectacle of flight. Furthermore, they overlook how the imagination of this subject has been conceived-of and calculated in order that it might be controlled or transformed. Secondly, they have tended to ignore the geographies the aeroplane constitutes and is composed of; from the terminal, to the aircraft cabin, from airspace to the decimated spaces below. This proposed research will enable the investigator to finish the book Aerial Geographies: a research monograph aimed at attending to these problems through detailed and diverse case-studies in both historical and contemporary time-frames, and different geographical contexts.
