Sexing the Soldier - The Politics of Gender and the Contemporary British Army (Paperback, New Ed): Rachel Woodward, Trish Winter Sexing the Soldier - The Politics of Gender and the Contemporary British Army (Paperback, New Ed)
Rachel Woodward, Trish Winter
R1,571 Discovery Miles 15 710 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Sexing the Soldier takes a critical look at how gender - what it means to be a man or a woman - is understood within the contemporary British Army, and the political and practical consequences of this. Drawing on original research, this informaive volume looks at:

  • the history and structure of the British Army as a masculine institution
  • personnel policies which deal with gender issues
  • the construction of ideas about military masculinities and femininities within the Army
  • media representations of the figure of the soldier.

Using case studies ranging from the exclusion of women from direct combat posts, to the issues surrounding bullying, this book argues that we need a fuller, more nuanced assessment of gender issues in the military that moves beyond the simplistic ideas about women's and men's 'natural' capacities for soldiering.

Performing Englishness - Identity and Politics in a Contemporary Folk Resurgence (Paperback): Trish Winter, Simon Keegan-Phipps Performing Englishness - Identity and Politics in a Contemporary Folk Resurgence (Paperback)
Trish Winter, Simon Keegan-Phipps
R1,361 Discovery Miles 13 610 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Now available in paperback, Performing Englishness examines the growth in popularity and profile of the English folk arts in the first decade of the twenty-first century. In the only study of its kind, the authors explore how the folk resurgence speaks to a broader explosion of interest in the subject of English national and cultural identity. Combining approaches from British cultural studies and ethnomusicology, the book draws on ethnographic fieldwork, interviews with central figures of the resurgence and close analysis of music and dance as well as visual and discursive sources. Its presentation of the English case study calls for a rethinking of concepts such as revival and indigeneity. It will be of interest to students and scholars in cultural studies, ethnomusicology and related disciplines. -- .
