Post-Feminist War

Media representations that have emerged out of contemporary wars have been well documented. These treatments, however, have been less attentive to how cultural constructions of military personnel and war itself figure in the depiction of the incursions in Iraq and Afghanistan. Mary Douglas Vavrus argues that all these identity categories are integral to our understanding of those involved in war.

Reprezentarile mass-media care au iesit din razboaiele contemporane au fost bine documentate. Cu toate acestea, aceste tratamente au fost mai putin atenti la modul in care constructiile culturale ale personalului militar si razboiul in sine figureaza in descrierea incursiunilor din Irak si Afganistan.
