CfP „The realities of autonomous weapons" planned with Bristol University Press Deadline 10.Jan 2022
Dear Collegues, Here some corner information. Please find attached the full CfP for the topic: The realities of autonomous weapons Call for contributions Edited volume (under discussion with Bristol University Press) Submission deadline: 10 January 2022 Papers on the following larger themes are invited: ● Fictions and imaginaries around AWS, including both cultural texts that are marked as fiction (e.g. science-fiction films and novels etc.) and those marked as non-fiction in journalism, politics or research. ● A reflection of technologies and materialities, including specific human/machine entanglements of decision-making, technological agency or autonomy and ‘meaningful human control’. This reflection extends to larger philosophical motifs such as legal or moral responsibility, free will or consciousness. ● the specific understandings and interpretations of AWS that are applied in political and ethical contexts, with a particular focus on the ways these meanings are translated into a political course of action, thus creating a reality in their own right. We welcome contributions from scholars of diverse disciplines, such as (but not limited to) media studies, cultural studies, literature and film studies, media and communication studies, political science, security studies, science and technology studies or sociology.
