What is media's role in shaping the materiality and definition of modern warfare? How has the concept of war changed in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries after the idea of total war appeared? From image-making machine and drone, to algorithm, satellite mapping, and artificial intelligence, war is the inventor of new sensory regimes that arise from the media environments constructed by warring empires. This course examines the entanglement between militarism and media technologies, and aesthetics and the war machine to historicize the militarization of the senses.
