ABSTRACT For the past years, the national rhetoric in Sweden has changed. Due to the Russian actions in Ukraine and Crimea, efforts towards mobilizing military and civil preparedness increased. The concept of the ‘total defence’ was reintroduced and has led to shifting priorities in Swedish politics, serving as a happy object and remedy in times of security threat and social anxiety. The article critically examines what this mobilization requires from the civil society actors. Drawing on a wide scope of material, including interviews, observations, news articles, and policy documents, our analysis shows that gender-based power and norms are integral to rebuilding the Swedish total defence. Moreover, different forms of benign masculinist protection mask processes of asymmetric influence and power distribution and renders any position of critique suspicious.

ABSTRACT What does it mean to be an academic who is also a war veteran? This paper examines that question as I delve into my own identity and positionality as a war veteran and as an academic who critically examines war and militarism. It is broken up into three sections: living war, writing war, and teaching war. Living war refers to what it is like to be a war veteran in academic spaces, from a student perspective to a teaching perspective. Writing war examines some of the ways in which war experiences can be utilized in academic writing, as it examines a few useful methodologies that were helpful and healing in my experience. Finally, teaching war reiterates the importance to centre war in the classroom and provides an example that I often use in the classroom. The primary aim of this paper is to discuss the reciprocal aspects of the interactions between my embodied war experience and higher education institutions.
摘要既是一名退伍军人又是一名学者,这意味着什么?作为一名退伍军人和一名批判性地研究战争和军国主义的学者,我在探究自己的身份和地位时,本文探讨了这个问题。它分为三个部分:生活战争、写作战争和教学战争。活着的战争是指从学生的角度到教学的角度,作为一名退伍军人在学术空间里的感觉。写战争考察了战争经验在学术写作中的一些利用方式,因为它考察了一些有用的方法,这些方法对我的经验有帮助和治愈作用。最后,教授战争重申了在课堂上集中战争的重要性,并提供了一个我经常在课堂上使用的例子。本文的主要目的是讨论我所体现的战争经历与高等教育机构之间互动的相互方面。

Proud to ‘fly a desk’ and wear a medal? Interrogations of military pride through the eyes of the RAF veteran 以“飞办公桌”和佩戴奖牌为荣?通过这位英国皇家空军老兵的眼睛,对军人自豪感的拷问

ABSTRACT Framed by the author’s status as a former Royal Air Force (RAF) service-person and subsequently as a critical sociologist, this article considers the performative role of pride in both exceptionalizing and legitimizing military actors and the RAF, respectively. In so doing, auto-ethnographic material is included to reveal the mundane and unremarkable, yet illustrative experiences of the RAF clerk whose lifeworld as a military actor in a support role differs sharply from how he or she might be imagined by the wider public. In order to demonstrate this disparity in perception, attention is paid to the relative ease of RAF basic training, tensions between the assumed hardships of active service in a war zone and its reality, and the role of racism and individual agency in the RAF. Rather than pride, these reflections invoke a mix of authorial guilt and shame, the latter of which is rooted in the political role played by an institution whose violence is normalized and its members eulogized. The wider, normative aim of the article is animated by my own modest attempt to demilitarize through revealing the work pride does in canonizing an institution revered by the public.
摘要本文以作者作为前英国皇家空军服役人员和后来的批判社会学家的身份为框架,分别考虑了自豪感在使军事行为者和英国皇家空军例外化和合法化方面的表演作用。在这样做的过程中,包括了自动人种学材料,以揭示这位英国皇家空军职员平凡而不起眼的经历,他作为一名军事演员的生活世界与广大公众对他的想象大相径庭。为了证明这种认知上的差异,人们关注英国皇家空军基础训练的相对轻松性、在战区服役的假设困难与其现实之间的紧张关系,以及种族主义和个人机构在英国皇家空军中的作用。这些反思不是骄傲,而是作者的内疚和羞耻的混合,后者植根于一个暴力行为正常化、成员受到赞扬的机构所扮演的政治角色。这篇文章更广泛、规范的目标是由我自己适度的尝试推动的,我试图通过揭示自豪感在推崇一个受公众尊敬的机构方面所做的工作来实现非军事化。

Dance as a register of war: following unruly bodies, affects, and sounds in conflict 作为战争记录的舞蹈:在冲突中追随不守规矩的身体、情感和声音

ABSTRACT What do people do in the face of violence, war, and tragedy? How do those touched by violence survive, live on, keep on going and feeling? What if ‘dance first, think later’ IS the natural order? In this paper, I propose dancing as an everyday, embodied, and multisensorial register of war. Combining new trajectories in war and military studies with ongoing feminist scholarship on war, embodiment, and emotions and interdisciplinary research on dance and electronic music, this paper explores entanglements between sites of political violence, militarism, and electronic dance music and culture. Drawing upon my research in Northern Ireland and Bosnia and Herzegovina, I argue that attending to these unseen entanglements activates distinctive ways of knowing the politics of war: they reveal alternative narratives of armed conflict mediated through and in between DJ performances, dancing bodies, and electronic sounds. These experiences offer important insights that unsettle taken for granted locations and affective economies of war while also reproducing conflict logics and divisions. I propose dance as a heuristic device that can recalibrate our understanding of the sensuous, affective, and embodied politics of/in war, enabling us to explore fragile possibilities for resistance and escape from its grip.
摘要面对暴力、战争和悲剧,人们会做什么?那些被暴力感动的人是如何生存、生活、继续前行和感受的?如果“先跳舞,后思考”是自然的顺序呢?在这篇论文中,我建议将舞蹈作为一种日常的、具体的、多感官的战争记录。将战争和军事研究的新轨迹与正在进行的关于战争、化身和情感的女权主义学术以及舞蹈和电子音乐的跨学科研究相结合,本文探讨了政治暴力、军国主义、电子舞曲和文化之间的纠缠。根据我在北爱尔兰和波斯尼亚和黑塞哥维那的研究,我认为,关注这些看不见的纠葛会激活了解战争政治的独特方式:它们揭示了通过DJ表演、舞蹈身体和电子声音调解的武装冲突的替代叙事。这些经历提供了重要的见解,使人们认为理所当然的地点和情感上的战争经济感到不安,同时也再现了冲突逻辑和分歧。我认为舞蹈是一种启发式的手段,可以重新校准我们对战争中感性、情感和具体政治的理解,使我们能够探索抵抗的脆弱可能性,并摆脱它的控制。

Critical veteran researchers’ unique adequacy: accounting for friendly-fire and fratricide 关键的资深研究人员独特的充分性:解释友军射击和自相残杀

ABSTRACT Drawing on ethnomethodology’s concept of unique adequacy, this paper addresses the contribution that critical veteran researchers (CVRs) can potentially bring to Critical Military Studies (CMS) on the basis of their military service, post-military life, and the members’ knowledge they therefore have. CVR members’ knowledges are framed through ethnomethodology’s arguments about unique adequacy as a requirement of methods. CVR’s unique adequacy is used to explore issues around the contribution that this particular group of researchers can make in critical analysis and research practices associated with critical military studies as an intellectual project. The paper argues against the reification and promotion of veteran exceptionalism regarding descriptions of ‘the reality of war’, militarism or militarization. Rather, it is about seeing CVR’s military participation and post-military lives, their members’ knowledge and unique adequacy, as constituting a positive resource. The paper illustrates this argument by taking the phenomenon of friendly-fire and fratricide as a topic. It identifies problems in the normative literature about it using the examples from two different genres: the formal analysis of combat identification, and experiential accounts from personal memoirs. The paper then critiques a specific campaign account of fratricide from a CVR perspective utilizing the author’s own unique adequacy. The paper concludes with a discussion of the limits of uniquely adequate knowledge generated from embodied veteran researcher experience, its benefits in terms of the identification of new research topics and approaches, and the ultimate necessity for critical analysis research to be underpinned and informed by reference to unique adequacy.
摘要:本文借鉴民族方法学的独特充分性概念,探讨了批判性退伍军人研究人员(CVRs)在服役、退役后生活及其成员知识基础上对批判性军事研究(CMS)的潜在贡献。CVR成员的知识是通过民族方法学关于作为方法要求的独特充分性的论点来构建的。CVR独特的充分性被用来探索围绕这一特定研究群体在批判性分析和研究实践中所能做出的贡献的问题,这些批判性分析和研究实践与作为智力项目的批判性军事研究有关。本文反对老兵例外论在描述“战争现实”、军国主义或军事化方面的具体化和推广。更确切地说,它是关于将CVR的军事参与和退役生活,其成员的知识和独特的充分性视为一种积极的资源。本文以友军误杀现象为主题,阐述了这一观点。它通过两种不同类型的例子来识别规范性文献中的问题:对战斗识别的正式分析,以及个人回忆录中的经验叙述。然后,本文利用作者自己独特的充分性,从CVR的角度批评了一个具体的竞选描述。本文最后讨论了从资深研究人员的经验中产生的独特的充分知识的局限性,它在确定新的研究主题和方法方面的好处,以及通过参考独特的充足性来支持和了解批判性分析研究的最终必要性。

‘Can I Be Gay in the Army?’: British Army recruitment advertising to LGBTQ youth in 2017–18 and belonging in the queer military home “在军队里我能成为同性恋吗?”: 2017-18年英国陆军招募LGBTQ青年的广告,属于酷儿军事之家

ABSTRACT In 2017, the British Army opened its ‘This is Belonging’ recruitment campaign, aimed at groups of young people who were considered traditionally less likely to join the Army, with marketing at Pride in London aimed at LGBTQ youth. The campaign’s next phase, in 2018, consisted of live-action and animated YouTube videos targeting specific groups including young women, religiously observant youth, emotionally sensitive young men, youth with average fitness levels, and, in the animations, LGBTQ youth again. While every other theme appeared in both sets of videos, the live-action set contained a video depicting homosocial male bonding instead of any LGBTQ theme. The Army’s acknowledgement of LGBTQ identities during recruitment in 2017–18 suggested certain advances from the 2000s position where LGBTQ personnel were expected to keep their sexuality private. A close audiovisual analysis of the LGBTQ-themed video, ‘Can I be Gay in the Army?’, and its intertextual relationship with the other videos nevertheless reveals hesitancy over how to represent a legibly gay male soldier that hints at limits to the institution’s inclusion of sexual difference. Drawing on both ‘LGBT’ and ‘Queer’ scholarship, the paper illustrates how concepts of domesticity and futurity can contribute to critical understandings of LGBTQ military inclusion.
2017年,英国陆军开展了“这就是归属感”(This is Belonging)征兵活动,目标人群是传统上被认为不太可能参军的年轻人,而Pride In London的营销目标人群则是LGBTQ青年。该活动的下一阶段将于2018年开始,包括针对特定群体的真人和动画视频,包括年轻女性、宗教虔诚的年轻人、情感敏感的年轻人、健康水平平均的年轻人,以及在动画中再次出现的LGBTQ年轻人。虽然两组视频中都出现了其他主题,但真人版的视频中却没有任何LGBTQ主题,而是一个描述同性恋社会男性关系的视频。陆军在2017-18年的征兵过程中承认LGBTQ身份,这表明,与2000年代相比,LGBTQ人员被要求对自己的性取向保密,这在一定程度上取得了进步。对以lgbtq为主题的视频《我能在军队里是同性恋吗?》,然而,它与其他视频的互文关系揭示了如何表现一个明显的同性恋男士兵的犹豫,这暗示了该机构对性别差异的包容的局限性。本文借鉴了“LGBT”和“酷儿”两方面的学术研究,阐述了家庭生活和未来的概念如何有助于对LGBTQ军人包容的批判性理解。

A multimodal critical discourse analysis of a Japanese Self-Defense Forces recruitment brochure 日本自卫队征兵手册的多模式批评话语分析

ABSTRACT Military recruitment strategies continue to evolve in line with developments in broader socio-political contexts. In what can be seen as a fairly recent development, both men and women are now central to recruitment campaigns. Such changes can be viewed as signalling a shift towards equality in military forces. Critics argue, however, that changes in this respect are superficial and serve to mask the prevailing masculine dominance in the military. Using multimodal critical discourse analysis, I examine the representation of service personnel in a recently published recruitment brochure produced by the Japanese Self-Defense Forces. The primary focus, however, is on how female personnel are depicted. The findings reveal that the recruitment efforts attempt to convey that the Japanese military promotes equality. Female and male service members are shown performing roles interchangeably. However, contradictions are also evident and in some instances clear distinctions are made along gendered lines.

军事征兵战略随着更广泛的社会政治背景的发展而不断演变。男性和女性现在都是招聘活动的核心,这可以看作是最近的发展。这些变化可以被视为军事力量向平等转变的信号。然而,批评人士认为,这方面的变化是肤浅的,有助于掩盖军队中普遍存在的男性主导地位。使用多模态批评话语分析,我研究了日本自卫队最近出版的征兵手册中服务人员的代表性。然而,主要的焦点是如何描绘女性人员。调查结果显示,招募工作试图传达日本军队提倡平等的信息。女性和男性军人互换扮演角色。然而,矛盾也很明显,在某些情况下,按照性别界线作出了明显的区分。军队也被话语建构为一个关怀机构,支持女性人员,使她们能够取得个人和事业上的成功。本研究的第一个贡献是对用于政治交际的多模态语篇的研究。第二,加强了对军队征兵战略的批判性研究。

In what can be seen as a fairly recent development, both men and women are now central to recruitment campaigns. Such changes can be viewed as signalling a shift towards equality in military forces. Critics argue, however, that changes in this respect are superficial and serve to mask the prevailing masculine dominance in the military. Using multimodal critical discourse analysis, I examine the representation of service personnel in a recently published recruitment brochure produced by the Japanese Self-Defense Forces. The primary focus, however, is on how female personnel are depicted. The findings reveal that the recruitment efforts attempt to convey that the Japanese military promotes equality. Female and male service members are shown performing roles interchangeably. However, contradictions are also evident and in some instances clear distinctions are made along gendered lines. The military is also discursively constructed as an institution of care, which supports female personnel and enables them to achieve personal and career success. The first contribution the study makes is to research on multimodal texts which are used for political communication. Secondly, it enhances critical scholarship on military recruitment strategies.","PeriodicalId":37527,"journal":{"name":"Critical Military Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46837031","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
