Beschreibung:
ROGER STAHL is an associate professor of communication studies at the University of Georgia in Athens. He is the author of Militainment, Inc. and has produced several documentary films on the military-entertainment complex, including Militainment, Inc. and Returning Fire.
Through the Crosshairs traces the genealogy of the weaponized gaze—camera footage framed from the perspective of a military drone, a descending smart bomb, or a sniper’s telescopic sights. Tracking these images across a variety of media, including news reports, action movies, and video games, Roger Stahl explores how they have influenced public perceptions.
