SUMMARY:Drones, Governance and Civil Society in Southeast Asia
LOCATION:Room 3.06
DESCRIPTION:Unmanned, camera-equipped drones are often associated with stat
 e surveillance of particular territories in Southeast Asia, whether in the 
 South China Sea, for border security or suppression of protest movements. T
 hey are a cost-effective means of monitoring and surveillance. Unmanned dro
 nes are also increasingly used by civil society as they are affordable, req
 uire little knowledge to operate and the low probability of causing physica
 l harm to humans (Floreano, Wood 2015). Drones  create knowledge by taking 
 aerial photographs of landscapes, events and places that are not easily cap
 tured in other ways. This panel invites contributors to address the opportu
 nities and obstacles that drones present in Southeast Asia. Panellists are 
 invited to reflect on the spaces and opportunities in which drones are used
 , how and why their use is regulated differently in various Southeast Asian
  countries, and what the political agendas are. In Thailand, for example, v
 ideographers have used drones to film violence against protesters (Viernes 
 2020). How are drones used in protest movements and state control? To what 
 extent are they used in political campaigns? \n\nAnother area of interest i
 s how drones are used in environmental conservation, such as ecosystem moni
 toring, wildlife research and management and ecotourism (López, Pázmány 201
 9). A case in point is Greenpeace using 300 drones to prompt action on cons
 erving the environment in one of their videos. How are drones used for cons
 ervational purposes by conservationists in Southeast Asia? Drones are also 
 employed in artwork and in film. Videographers have used them to capture be
 autiful images of cities or special places, they are used in films or are p
 art of art installations that are uploaded and made available on public pla
 tforms such as YouTube. What aesthetic components of drone images can be id
 entified? How are they used alongside other modes of artistic expression?
