Summary

War, Technology, Anthropology by Koen Stroeken

Technologies of the allied warfare in Iraq and Afghanistan, such as remote-controlled drones and night vision goggles, allow the user to virtualize human targets. This coincides with increased civilian casualties and a perpetuation of the very insecurity these technologies are meant to combat.

Koen Stroeken is an Associate Professor of Africanist Anthropology at Ghent University. Committed to the value of reflexivity, he published most recently Moral Power: The Magic of Witchcraft (Berghahn Books, 2010), which is based on fieldwork in rural Tanzania.
