Virtual War and Magical Death : Technologies and Imaginaries for Terror and Killing PDF
Edited by Whitehead Neil L. Whitehead, Finnstrom Sverker Finnstrom
Part of the The cultures and practice of violence series series
Description
Another significant focus of the collection is the U.S. military's exploitation of ethnographic research, particularly through its controversial Human Terrain Systems (HTS) Program, which embeds anthropologists as cultural experts in military units. Several pieces address the ethical dilemmas that HTS and other counterinsurgency projects pose for anthropologists. Other essays reveal the relatively small scale of those programs in relation to the military's broader use of, and ambitions for, social scientific data.
