This book offers a feminist analysis of military sacrifice and
reveals the importance of a gender perspective in understanding the
idea of honourable death. In present-day security discourses,
traditional masculinised obligations to die for the homeland and
its women and children are challenged and renegotiated. Working
from a critical feminist perspective, this book examines the
political and societal justifications for sacrifice in wars
motivated by human rights and an international responsibility to
protect. With original empirical research from six European
countries, the volume demonstrates how gendered and nationalistic
representations saturate contemporary notions of sacrifice and
legitimate military violence. A key argument is that a gender
perspective is necessary in order to understand, and to oppose, the
idea of the honourable military death. Bringing together a wide
range of materials - including public debates, rituals, monuments
and artwork - to analyse the justifications for soldiers' deaths in
the Afghanistan war (2002-14), the analysis challenges
methodological nationalism. The authors develop a feminist
comparative methodology and engage in cross-country and
transdisciplinary analysis. This innovative approach generates new
understandings of the ways in which both the idealisation and the
political contestation of military violence depend on gendered
national narratives. This book will be of much interest to students
of gender studies, critical military studies, security studies and
International Relations.
