Aerial VisibilitiesNew Thoughts and Further Possibilities\nAuthor(s): Dennis Zuev, Gary Bratchford\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: Routledge\nISBN-13: 9781032851655, 978-1032851655\nSynopsis\nThis book brings together diverse perspectives from a range of geographic settings and feature contributions from some of the key thinkers in the field. It explores various facets of the relationship between verticality and visibility, offering insights that deepen the understanding of this dynamic dyad.\n\nThis volume brings the sky and air into the view of visual sociology and argues that there is more to the sky than phenomenological and geopolitical dimensions. The chapters use the common thread of aerial visibilities to emphasise the need to rethink the aerial in terms of complex relations between humans, technological artefacts and devices, vertical superstructures, and non-human others. This rethinking helps unsettle notions of aerial biopo.
