Combines perspectives on aesthetics and embodiment to understand militarism in international politics
  • Illustrates how processes of militarisation operate in the continuum between military institutions and everyday civilian life
  • Case studies cover 20th- and 21st-century conflicts on four different continents: from the Middle East and post-socialist Europe to the USA, Britain, Australia and Cuba
  • Offers diverse methodological examples including autoethnography, visual analysis, fashion history, and digital media research
  • Integrates social identities including race, sexual orientation, gender identity and disability

This vibrant collection of essays reveals the intimate politics of how people with a wide range of relationships to war identify with, and against, the military and its gendered and racialised norms. It synthesises three recent turns in the study of international politics: aesthetics, embodiment and the everyday, into a new conceptual framework. This helps us to understand how militarism permeates society and how far its practices can be re-appropriated or even turned against it.
