Beskrivning
Forensic Rhetorics and Satellite Surveillance: The Visualization of War Crimes and Human Rights Violations uses cases studies of satellite surveillance over the skies of Darfur, Gaza, Bosnia, Pakistan, and the Mediterranean to provide readers with an overview of some of the technological, analytic, and political complexities of satellite surveillance imagery usage. Marouf Hasian, Jr. illustrates how our earlier reliance on witness testimony or signal communications in human rights contexts is now being supplemented with forensic evidence from satellites that can be used to document, monitor, and perhaps even deter human rights violations on the ground.

Recensioner i media

Hasian’s volume offers a valuable contribution to the growing body of work that engages rhetoric and security. The volume pinpoints deadly intersections of language, materiality, and humanitarian intervention. Its detailed, contemporary case studies usefully illustrate the ethics and politics inherent in competing, high-stakes interpretations of satellite imagery among states and citizens. Hasian cautions readers to attend to how forensic rhetorics construct crises in ways that bolster securitization and militarization. Readers will gain an in-depth and nuanced understanding of the suasory power of satellite surveillance.
