Drone warfare and the making of bodies out of place

The seemingly limitless nature of drone warfare in terms of surveillance and territorial and lethal capacities suggest that this form of violence not only harms and kills certain bodies while keeping other bodies safe, but more profoundly, reorganizes space to produce certain bodies as ‘killable’ enemies. The techno-political processes of drone warfare including ‘pattern of life’ criteria materialize the stateless, formless bodies of enemies in order to destroy them and to locate violence and responsibility for that violence in distant bodies and places.
