本文描述了一种批判性的方法,通过民族志关注的生存困境,耐力和生活的管理暴露于死亡的军事人员的具体经验的研究。这种方法提请注意制度化的战争实践如何塑造和形成与其生产和影响最直接相关的生命、身体和感情。对当代战争的明示根源、目的和影响的标准质疑路线,往往想当然地认为人类生活如何暴露于暴力和伤害,如何躲避暴力和伤害,以及如何有能力实施暴力和伤害的期望和限制--在自由民主国家的当代生活中,这些特征在军事机构中表现得尤为尖锐和矛盾。对战争的批判性描述作为具体化的经验,既对我们自以为已经了解的战争提出了不稳定的挑战,又为有关战争的紧迫问题提供了一个生成性的、具体的锚。
This essay describes a critical approach to the study of military institutions through ethnographic attention to the predicaments of survival, endurance and the management of life exposed to death is that are central to the embodied experience of military personnel. This approach draws attention to the way that the institutionalized practice of war shapes and takes shape in the lives, bodies and feelings most directly bound up in its production and effects. Standard lines of questioning about contemporary war’s ostensive roots, aims and effects often take for granted the expectations and limits surrounding how human life is exposed to, sheltered from and empowered to carry out violence and harm—features of contemporary life in liberal democratic states that take on especially acute and contradictory form in military institutions. Critical accounts of war as embodied experience provide both a destabilizing challenge to the things we think we already know about war and a generative, concrete anchor to urgent questions about it.
