Abstract

ABSTRACT It is common for service personnel and military veterans to experience trauma and its ongoing effects. It is also common for that trauma to go unacknowledged and untreated, with personal denial being the first major obstacle to overcome. Professor Peter Lee reflects on coming to terms with his past Iraq War experiences as a military chaplain, prompted by the unexpected resurfacing of overwhelming emotions triggered during a research project more than a decade later. He concludes by offering recommendations for other researchers to consider, especially if they have experienced prior trauma: either in the armed forces or elsewhere.

与英国皇家空军死神社区的研究如何暴露了我自己被压抑的创伤，以及我下次会采取什么不同的做法

摘要：服役人员和退伍军人经历创伤及其持续影响是很常见的。这种创伤不被承认和治疗也很常见，个人否认是第一个需要克服的主要障碍。彼得·李教授反思了他过去作为一名军事牧师的伊拉克战争经历，这是由于十多年后的一个研究项目中引发的压倒性情绪意外重新出现。他最后提出了一些建议，供其他研究人员考虑，特别是如果他们之前曾在武装部队或其他地方经历过创伤。

期刊介绍： Critical Military Studies provides a rigorous, innovative platform for interdisciplinary debate on the operation of military power. It encourages the interrogation and destabilization of often taken-for-granted categories related to the military, militarism and militarization. It especially welcomes original thinking on contradictions and tensions central to the ways in which military institutions and military power work, how such tensions are reproduced within different societies and geopolitical arenas, and within and beyond academic discourse. Contributions on experiences of militarization among groups and individuals, and in hitherto underexplored, perhaps even seemingly ‘non-military’ settings are also encouraged. All submitted manuscripts are subject to initial appraisal by the Editor, and, if found suitable for further consideration, to double-blind peer review by independent, anonymous expert referees. The Journal also includes a non-peer reviewed section, Encounters, showcasing multidisciplinary forms of critique such as film and photography, and engaging with policy debates and activism.
