The analysis treats drones as prosthetic narrative devices that shape perception and moral imagination, while also exploring drone affection and attachment among hobbyists as curative practices.

\nUNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN-MADISON  \n2022  \nDate of final oral examination: 4/13/2022  \nThe dissertation is approved by the following members of the Final Oral Committee:  \nLeslie Bow, Professor, Professor, English & Asian American Studies  \nJill Casid, Professor, Art History & Gender and Women’s Studies  \nEllen Samuels, Professor, English & Gender and Women’s Studies  \nMark Vareschi, Associate Professor, English  \ni  \nAcknowledgments  \nTo Mom & Dad, for encouraging me to be fully myself, even when that self diverges into entirely new directions. Emily, we both know we never would have survived without one another. I mean that. Tom, I am grateful to have you as my big brother and for being an aunt to your three beautiful kids.  \nI could not have imagined a more kind, engaged, and overall passionate committee whose own projects and teaching have forever altered my own.  \nTo Leslie Bow, for engaging with my weirdest or incomplete ideas with utter seriousness and interest, and for always pushing me to see this project, and my affective relation to it, as something uniquely valuable and of intellectual merit. To Jill Casid, for her relentless belief in me, even as a confused first-year graduate student who felt endlessly out of place, and for welcoming me to share the inner parts of myself as a means of making, knowing, and doing. To Ellen Samuels, for not only introducing me to feminist disability studies but for also modeling what crip solidarity and care can look like in and outside the classroom. To Mark Vareschi, for his capacious understanding of what constitutes literature, and willingness to dare to bring new types of inquiries and forms into the literature classroom.  \nTo all the incredible human, nonhuman, cyborg, & feral friends and interlocutors whose insightsand care have found their way into this dissertation and into the very way I live my life: Alex Leme, Matt Gatley, Mari Lewis, Tori Yonkers, Sarah Friedman, Logan Smidges, Helen Rottier, Mark Kastner (and Hattie), Alyssa Smith, Ada Hubrig, Peter Woods, Linda & Wyatt Williams, Erica Kanesaka, and my lovely, brilliant cohort with whom I started this journey. Alexandra Lakind & Kate MacCrimmon, it is such an honor to have thought alongside you all these years and now to graduate together. In the latter phases ofthis project, I was sustained by the friendship of Chris and Jasper Deeley, who offered me so much care and waited for me to work up the courage to accept it. And thank you to Cyborg Jillian Weise for reminding me who I amand for showing me what crip anarchist friendship can be.  \nTo Death Class, for cultivating comfortable spaces in which we can be uncomfortable together, and for showing me what it may mean and feel like to live on the side of death. I first conceptualized this project in our seminar together in 2018, and each member of Death Class offered such thoughtful and daring suggestions, many of which found their way into this manuscript and my overall thinking.  \nTo the UW-Madison English Department, for its relentless commitment to affirming the political necessity of intellectual pursuit in and through the humanities. I am particularly in debt to the faculty who gave me the opportunities and motivation to grow as a teacher and writer—Cherene Sherrard-Johnson, Russ Castronovo, Sarah Wells, Anja-Jovic Humphrey, Lynn Keller, and Jen Plants. A massive hug to Robyn Shanahan for being Robyn Shanahan.  \nTo the organizations and institutions that were generous enough to help fund the writing, research, and distribution of this project, including the UW-Madison English Department,  \nii  \nMellon Foundation, the UW-Madison Graduate School, the University of Sheffield, the Modern Language Association, the Holtz Center for Science and Technology Studies, the Arab Cou","cbCaiuTJvNcZ9kkD","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiuTJvNcZ9kkD","pdf",1453124,248,"English","# Introduction\n## Chapter One: Drone-As-Prosthetic: Narrative Ad\n## Chapter Two: Drone Love: Hobbyists’ Curative Attachments","[{\"question\":\"What theoretical lens does the dissertation use to analyze drones?\",\"answer\":\"The dissertation uses feminist crip theory to interpret drones as shaping disability, embodiment, and relational life.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the dissertation frame drones in relation to narrative and embodiment?\",\"answer\":\"It treats drones as prosthetic narrative devices that influence how perception and moral imagination are formed around human and nonhuman life.\"},{\"question\":\"What focus does the dissertation give to drone hobbyists?\",\"answer\":\"It explores drone love and hobbyists’ curative attachments, describing how these practices function as forms of care and attempted healing.\"}]","Drone Life - A Feminist Crip Analysis of the Human | PDF",625]
