Through the Crosshairs: War, Visual Culture, and the Weaponized Gaze
Roger Stahl
Now that it has become so commonplace, we rarely blink an eye at camera footage framed by the crosshairs of a sniper's gun or from the perspective of a descending smart bomb. But how did this weaponized gaze become the norm for depicting war, and how has it influenced public perceptions? Through the Crosshairs traces the genealogy of this weapon's-eye view across a wide range of genres.
