Dear Collegues,

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.
