Essentially, it offers a conceptualization of dis/appearances of violence in public discourse, which combines the concepts of in/visibilization, de/naturalization, and dis/identification. Though they overlap and interweave in terms of what they capture, all three are considered relevant to fully elaborate how violence may dis/appear in narratives on war-like operations. Furthermore, the article exemplifies how one may make use of the conceptual framework, by exploring the representation of violence in Swedish public political debate at the time of active engagement in peace-enforcement and offensive military operations. More specifically, the empirical illustration critically examines the parliamentary debates on ONUC in Congo 1960–1964 and ISAF in Afghanistan 2002–2014. The analysis reveals and details how violence continuously tends to disappear as a reality, as a dilemma and/or as Sweden’s own practice and choice. At present, the scholarly debate mainly focuses on the US or the UK. To advance our understanding of the ways in which violence is normalized and made possible, we need refined conceptual tools that allow us to explore the complexity and political work of representations of war and violence in various contexts.","PeriodicalId":37527,"journal":{"name":"Critical Military Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45888984","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}

The case of Polish paramilitary organizing","authors":"Weronika Grzebalska","doi":"10.1080/23337486.2021.1977888","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/23337486.2021.1977888","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACT Following the war in Ukraine and other security challenges of non-military nature, Poland has recorded novel processes of re-militarization, with the resurgence of volunteer paramilitary organizing constituting one potent example. In the otherwise gender blind public discourse on defence developments, the latter were incidentally narrated as intrinsically entangled with patriarchal gender relations and illiberal ‘anti-gender’ politics, reflecting dominant feminist frameworks on militarization as a process entrenching gender inequality. Drawing from extensive fieldwork with paramilitary organizations, this paper explores the gender-paramilitary nexus in Poland through engaged, CMS-driven methods and frameworks. It argues that despite the paramilitary movement’s national-conservative platform, significant processes of regendering of the practice and idea of defence are nevertheless occurring on the ground. The paper traces them on three interconnected planes: women’s growing and largely uncontested presence in the movement; the revaluing of civilian-feminine lines of activity within the sector’s dual project of civil society in defence; and the largely egalitarian organizational culture, which engages both men and women in its dual, civic-martial practices, thus further destabilizing the link between defence and military masculinity. In this context, the paper suggests that the male-dominated character of paramilitary organizing is fuelled predominantly by socio-structural factors related to the feminization of social reproduction in Poland that the movement sees as unproblematic and external to its agenda. Lending analytical support to gender and CMS literature, the paper argues that uncovering gendered complexity and change in unlikely sites can aid more productive forms of feminist critique.","PeriodicalId":37527,"journal":{"name":"Critical Military Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44857739","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}

From front lines to fun runs: revitalizing the exception through official discourse at Guantánamo Bay 从前线到趣味跑：通过关塔那摩湾的官方对话振兴例外

A few years later, the programme was widely seen as a liability. As political discourse about GTMO grew more critical, how did the detention programme’s official discourse evolve? What does this discourse tell us about the endurance of states of exception? Scholarship on GTMO emphasizes the exceptional status of the site, but often overlooks the broader military system of which the base is one part, as well as the ways GTMO has changed over time. To examine changes in the official discourse of the detention programme, this article undertakes visual and discourse analysis of 438 issues of The Wire, the official newspaper of the programme. The analysis identifies various changes, most notably that the newspaper switched format in late 2006, from military bulletin to lifestyle magazine. The Wire shifted from situating GTMO on the front lines of the War on Terror, to characterizing the base as a site of recreation. The Wire also changed from emphasizing the exceptional events of the War on Terror, to situating the detention programme within a longer history of unending conflict. These changes revitalized the exception of indefinite detention and perpetual warfare. This study shows that systems of exceptional violence are perpetuated not just through banal, normalizing processes, but also through discourses of leisure, therapy, and personal achievement.","PeriodicalId":37527,"journal":{"name":"Critical Military Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42854469","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}

In cases of such trauma, the provision for and access to sufficient mental health care is vital to minimize risks of developing conditions such as Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), moral injury or high emotional distress. Through integrating psychological studies and data with critical feminist security studies, this article attempts to establish the validity of drone operators as victims of trauma within the broader context of drone warfare. The aim of this article is to not only highlight this trauma suffered by drone operators, but to also openly address the ongoing stigma and factors that prevent them from seeking adequate mental health care. Drone operators exposed to trauma are further stigmatized and emasculated by their peers, resulting in a decrease in uptake of available mental health support. Through adopting a gendered approach, the article explores how this stigma invalidates much of the experiences and trauma suffered by drone operators, but furthermore is structured by ideas of masculinity and emasculation. Recognizing this stigma and emasculation is not only important for understanding military order and the masculinized dynamics of state violence, but vital for addressing the wider issues of trauma in drone warfare.","PeriodicalId":37527,"journal":{"name":"Critical Military Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/23337486.2021.1953738","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43442070","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}

Drawing from Stahl’s framework of the ‘weaponized gaze’ and, at points, multimodal discourse, I track how the youthful gaze has become an emblem of power and ethics in art and literature of the period. In the first two sections of the article, I explore how this gaze has been mediated and manipulated by adult narratives, used for a variety of purposes ranging from personal introspection to political broadcast. The first section considers the gaze within the context of children within war art, and the second moves to literature, forming new critical readings of Victor Hugo’s Les Miserables and Leo Tolstoy’s War and Peace in relation to the history of childhood. The final section of the article attempts to reclaim the child’s gaze through self-awareness and internalization, introducing examples of child authors of the Napoleonic period – Felicia Hemans (Browne), Marjory Fleming, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, and the Brontës – and considering how their writings, varying from patriotism to protest, imitation to epiphanic moments, create a parallel military history, useful for readers and critics of childhood, war and emotion in that they challenge our understandings of children’s agency and involvement. Overall, this article offers new ways of approaching children’s participation in war, demonstrating how their roles as muses, consumers and producers are intimately bound with the moral and emotional fallout of conflict.","PeriodicalId":37527,"journal":{"name":"Critical Military Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/23337486.2021.1945181","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47082992","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}
