This special issue of "TOPIA Canadian Journal of Cultural Studies"
addresses the ubiquity of militarization, a presence that is woven
into the very fabric of civic culture.Militarization is not just
something that happens in war zones; when our government invests
billions of dollars in war planes, prisons and the "digital
economy," while starving resources in social justice, education,
the environment and culture, we are living the consequences of
global militarization. To talk about cultures of militarization is
to talk about the terms in which collective identity is militarized
and resistive forms of agency allowed and disallowed. By
recognizing the human relations within capitalism and how these
have come to be defined increasingly by military interests, we
reveal that militarism is a global master narrative; military
diction becomes inseparable from the language of power, sweeping
aside human suffering as mere "collateral damage." We are led to
believe that it is temporary, and we are compliant in our
acceptance of these narratives.
