Across a rich terrain of empirical and theoretical trajectories,
the concept of military masculinity (now understood in its plural
as military masculinities) has been a significant conceptual tool
in both feminist international relations (IR) and in critical men
and masculinities studies scholarship. The concept has helped us to
unpack the relationships between gender, war, and militarism,
including how military standards function in the production of
wider normative, hegemonic manliness. As such, military
masculinities has been a rewarding tool for many scholars who take
a critical approach to the study of war and the military. This
edited volume advances an emerging curiosity within accounts of
military masculinities. This curiosity concerns the silences
within, and disruptions to, our well-established and
perhaps-too-comfortable understandings of, and empirical focal
points for, military masculinities, gender, and war. The
contributors to this volume trouble the ease with which we might be
tempted to synonymize militaries, war, and a neat, 'hegemonic'
masculinity. Taking the disruptions, the asides, and the silences
seriously challenges the common wisdoms of military masculinities,
gender, and war in productive and necessary ways. Doing so
necessitates a reorientation of where, to whom, and for what we
look to understand the operation of gendered military power. The
chapters were originally published in a special issue of Critical
Military Studies.
