“…Aprendiendo pero diferenciándose de destacados proyectos como Forensic Architecture (Weizman, 2014) El lugar escogido en Río de Janeiro para levantar el vuelo fue la Vila Autódromo, una comunidad auto-construida y auto-urbanizada, originalmente un pueblo de pescadores, que existe en el borde de la laguna Jacarepaguá/Barra de Tijuca desde hace más de 40 años. La comunidad conquistó los títulos de propiedad de la tierra, y el derecho a la vivienda reconocidos en la Constitución de Brasil.…”

RESUMENLos drones son una tecnología oscura (Lichty) que en su versión militar y de agresión están distribuidos desigualmente en la geografía. El video "Our Drone Future" (Cornell), imagina un escenario posible donde los UAVs (Vehículos Aéreos No Tripulados), con sus tecnologías y capacidades, llegarán a tener una presencia cada vez mayor en los cielos del mañana de nuestras ciudades. La visión panóptica del drone es parte fundamental del régimen de visualidad contemporáneo que según Mirzoeff está definido por el complejo militarindustrial. Este autor propone "el derecho a mirar" como una forma de oposición a esta

“…Aerial photographs have started to be used to monitor the shifting climatic zones and boundaries. In case of socio-political conflicts, aerial imaging witnessed a spatial change of the borders that demarcated climatic zones or state territories (Weizman and Sheikh, 2015). Recently, aerial photographs are used in critical media studies regarding landscapes of memory.…”

“…The media studies methodologically alter material and digital realms -brought by aerial surveillance of military functions (Schuppli, 2017). They provide photographic evidences of warscapes to provide evidences for the cases which short-comings of international judicial institutions (Weizman, 2018). The militarized intensity towards aerial view uses tools of geospatial monitoring to monitor humans, like immigrants crossing borders (Weizman and Sheikh, 2015).…”

Towards a critical delineation of waterfront: Aerial photographs as evidence and record in Istanbul

This paper develops a conceptual agenda and a critical cartographic methodology using aerial photographs to monitor the shaping of waterfront as a geography in Istanbul by humans. Starting from the first aerial photographs of Istanbul until present, the gaze of the vertical dimension in geographical space holds divergent evidences of spatial transformation captured in aerial views. From construction sites to building of coastal roads, demolishing of port scapes and technological rifts of logistic flows, to large infills in longshore space; events and moments of spatial deformation of coastal space become visible and evident through aerial photography. Aerial gaze, when considered within an archeology of a developing military reconnaissance technology, is presented as an ironic tool to shed light to evidences and historical record of spatial transformation within an act of witnessing. Viewing coastal unfixity through aerial photographs are argued here to provide two different temporalities: longue and court dureé which operate in the eventual and geological time. As these photographs unveil, the material-geological body of the waterfront itself becomes the bearer of historical records of human and nonhuman relations that shape the coastal geography. The ground beneath is unfixed as it is pulled into a cartographic questioning tool of "critical delineation" of Istanbul's waterfront. In the end, the waterfront is re-conceptualized and monitored as a dynamic geography. With this gaze, this paper suggests a debunking of oppositions of land and sea space to reframe the waterfront as an urban edge in the process of urbanization.

“…processing and presentation," that inscribe materials as authentic and give them validity to speak before the court. Drawing a parallel with COI materials, we argue that they are progressively "enriched" to carry weight within legal and public forums (also Weizman et al 2010). This leads us to focus on the knowledge production of COI units as processual and iterative, generated through the three phases of investigation, concordance, and consolidation.…”

Country-of-origin information has secured a central place in European asylum systems, underpinning state decisions on the asylum status of refugee populations. All European states produce this type of information, and dedicated country-of-origin information units are increasingly common. This article analyzes the knowledge politics of countryof-origin information, with a focus on the relation between knowledge and decision. We are interested in this type of knowledge precisely because it is uneasily positioned in-between social scientific methodology and policy decision-making and is infused with a "pulsional normativity." We distinguish three phases of country-of-origin information production: first, a phase of investigation, where foreign lands are reduced to stable and mobile forms so that they can be studied as research units; second, the concordance of information production, relying on standardized instruments and practical skill; and third, the consolidation phase, which involves the return of country information constructed inside research units back into the administrative and regulatory world. The final section of the article examines how complex and frail information about countries of origin becomes deployed as valid grounds for asylum decision-making. van der Kist, Jasper et al.
