"Drone socio-technical networks in Córdoba (Argentina)" is an interdisciplinary research project that groups postgraduate researchers from the National University of Córdoba from the areas of humanities, social sciences and engineering. Its primary goal is to map of networks formed around drone technology in the region of Córdoba. Since 2018 we have been analyzing institutional, cultural and corporate spaces and their different points of view, know-how, practices and imaginaries around drone technology. In this opportunity, we will present a theoretical analysis that engages with this empirical work and points towards an interdisciplinary understanding of the visual landscapes of drones in contemporary Argentina.
