<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Chapter 1: Introduction: Powerful Play.- Chapter 2: Understanding (with) the Drone.- Chapter 3: Situating Hobby Drone Proctices.- Chapter 4: Communicating on the Fly.- Chapter 5: Moving and Not Moving up in the Air.- Chapter 6: Seeing like a Consumer Drone.- Chapter 7: Dancing with My Drone.- Chapter 8: Conclusion: Open Skies?.<br><p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br>This book explores recreational uses of consumer drones from the lenses of media ecology, mobile communication, mobilities research, and science and technology studies. In this provocative ethnography, Julia M. Hildebrand discusses camera drones as mobile media for meaningful play. She thus widens perspectives onto the flying camera as foremost unmanned aircraft, spying tool, or dangerous toy towards a more comprehensive understanding of its potentials.<br>How should we situate drone practices in recreational spaces? What ways of seeing, moving, and being do hobby drones open up? Across chapters about drone geography, communication, mobility, visuality, and human-machine relations, <i>Aerial Play</i> introduces novel frameworks for drone affordances, such as communication <i>on the fly</i>, disembodied mobilities, auratic vertical play, and drone-mindedness.<br>In the mobile companionship with her own drone, Hildebrand contributes an innovative "auto-technographic" method for the self-reflective study of media and mobility. Ultimately, her grounded and aerial fieldwork illuminates new technological, mobile, visual, and social relations in everyday spaces.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Julia M. Hildebrand is Assistant Professor of Communication at Eckerd College. For her work on media, mobility, and drones, she has won multiple awards including the Harold A. Innis Award in the Field of Media Ecology.
