From martyrs’ posters to revolutionary fashion, animal memes to jihadi videos, this brilliantly insightful and interdisciplinary volume sheds new light upon the affective circuits and the intimate politics of military power.

Kevin McSorley, University of Portsmouth

This vibrant collection of essays reveals the intimate politics of how people with a wide range of relationships to war identify with, and against, the military and its gendered and racialised norms. It synthesises three recent turns in the study of international politics: aesthetics, embodiment and the everyday, into a new conceptual framework. This helps us to understand how militarism permeates society and how far its practices can be re-appropriated or even turned against it.
