Böcker av Caren Kaplan

Caren Kaplan traces the cultural history of aerial imagery-from the first vistas provided by balloons in the eighteenth century to the sensing operations of military drones-to show how aerial imagery is key to modern visual culture and can both enforce military power and foster positive political connections.

Explores the various metaphoric uses of travel and displacement in literary and feminist theory, traces the political implications of this "travelling theory," and shows how various discourses of displacement link, rather than separate, modernism and postmodernism.
