摘要

这篇文章探讨了围绕前澳大利亚驻阿富汗士兵被指控的战争罪行的不同和有争议的叙述，并特别关注一位具有相当公众地位的退伍军人--本-罗伯茨-史密斯（Ben Roberts-Smith）。文章展示了为识别和谴责法外暴力行为而讲述的某些故事是如何将这些行为与更广泛的战争暴力区分开来，将其视为不同寻常的行为，从而在更大范围内支持战争暴力的正常化和正当化。然而，它也展示了对种族和性别在塑造战争暴力意义方面的作用的关注如何打破了 "法外暴力是例外 "的观点。最后，它对 Facebook 上支持罗伯茨-史密斯的言论中如何解释和拒绝战争罪指控进行了专题解读。文章展示了在不同地点对法外暴力的不同建构是如何帮助人们从暴力行为中汲取意义，并将其融入关于自由战争的叙事表述中，并为围绕战争罪的政治配置及其与国家认同和自由军国主义的关系提供了重要见解。因此，文章从概念和经验上为围绕战争罪政治的辩论做出了贡献。

Military Atrocity, National Identity, and Warrior Masculinity on Trial

The article explores different and contested narrations surrounding alleged war crimes by former Australian soldiers in Afghanistan, with a particular focus on one veteran with considerable public standing, Ben Roberts-Smith. It shows how certain stories told to identify and condemn acts of extra-legal violence, work to separate these acts out as exceptional and different from wider violence in war, and thus support the normalization and justification of war violence more broadly. However, it also demonstrates how attention to the role of race and gender in shaping meaning-making around violence in war disrupts the idea that extra-legal violence is exceptional. It finally articulates a thematic reading of how allegations of war crimes are interpreted and rejected in discourses of support for Roberts-Smith expressed on Facebook. It shows how different constructions of extra-legal violence at different sites each contribute to the ways that meaning might be drawn from acts of violence into narrative formulations about liberal war and offer important insights into the political configurations surrounding war crimes and their relationship to national identity and liberal militarism. The article thus contributes conceptually and empirically to debates surrounding the politics of war crimes.

期刊介绍： International Political Sociology (IPS), responds to the need for more productive collaboration among political sociologists, international relations specialists and sociopolitical theorists. It is especially concerned with challenges arising from contemporary transformations of social, political, and global orders given the statist forms of traditional sociologies and the marginalization of social processes in many approaches to international relations. IPS is committed to theoretical innovation, new modes of empirical research and the geographical and cultural diversification of research beyond the usual circuits of European and North-American scholarship.
