This edited volume places the body at the centre of critical
thinking about war and its consequences. War is fundamentally
embodied. The reality of war is not just politics by any other
means but politics incarnate, politics written on and experienced
through the thinking, feeling bodies of men and women. From steeled
combatants to abject victims, war occupies innumerable bodies in a
multitude of ways, profoundly shaping lives and ways of being
human. Giving the body an analytic recognition that it warrants and
has often been denied in conventional war studies, this book brings
together new interdisciplinary scholarship that explores the
numerous affective, sensory and embodied practices through which
war lives and breeds. It focuses on how war is prepared, enacted
and reproduced through embodied action, suffering and memory. As
such, the book promotes new directions in theorising war and
transformations in warfare, via an explicit focus on the body. This
book will be of much interest to students and scholars of war
studies, security studies, sociology, anthropology, military
studies, politics and IR in general.
