ABSTRACT

Although scholars have found that the United States drone program utilizes several strategies to maintain its invisibility or obfuscate itself from audiences, the drone strike in entertainment media offers visibility within a structure of terror and wonder. This article forwards deinos, a subset of the sublime that privileges terribleness over awe, as a productive lens for engaging these spectacles of power and applies it to a drone strike in Amazon’s Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan. Overall, the deinos of a drone strike dissuades civilians from participating in democratic dissent by overwhelming audiences with power and limiting space to reveal its violence.

摘要

尽管学者发现美国无人机计划采用了几种策略来保持其隐形性或使听众难以理解，但娱乐媒体上的无人机罢工在恐怖和惊奇的结构中提供了可见性。本文转发了deinos，这是崇高敬畏精神的崇高精神的子集，作为吸引这些力量眼镜的有生产力的镜头，并将其应用于亚马逊的Tom Clancy的Jack Ryan的无人驾驶罢工。总体而言，无人驾驶飞机罢工的恶魔通过使压倒性的观众压倒了观众的力量并限制了暴露其暴力的空间，从而阻止了平民参与民主异议。
