ABSTRACT
This introduction presents an overview of the key concepts discussed in the subsequent chapters of this book. The book utilizes Haunting to foreground complexity and nuance, highlighting four core components of the framework: complex personhood, in/(hyper)visibility, disturbed temporality, and power. It focuses on war technologies and gender from the threads of ghosts and queer logics reflects my stance as a poststructural feminist. The book is concerned with how using the framework of Haunting can help to more adequately shed light on the ways that gendered discourses are destabilised and (re)inscribed through the use of novel military technologies. It also focuses on the British use of Reaper; however, it is essential to sketch out a brief outline of American usage because the US is undoubtedly the most prolific user of the technology, and it is against the background of this usage that the British debate is situated.
