- Description
- This historical and anthropological investigation probes the genesis of the myth that the Turkish nation is a military nation, traces how the ideology of militarism has been actualized through education and conscription, and reveals the implications for ethnic and gender relations. Altinay sheds light both on the process of how national identities are constructed and on the deep roots of the challenges facing Turkey as it potentially moves from being a plural to a pluralistic society.

- Description
- Der Band enthält ausgewählte Beiträge der 10. Schweizerischen Historikerinnentagung des Jahres 2000, die an der Universität Freiburg i. Ü. stattfand. Alle Beiträge beinhalten eine Auseinandersetzung der Geschlechterforschung mit Wissen und Wissenschaft. Es wird aufgezeigt, wie sich Wissen und Wissenschaft, soziale Ordnung und Geschlechterbeziehungen gegenseitig strukturieren. Ein weiterer Schwerpunkt des Sammelbandes konzentriert sich auf das Verhältnis von Geschlecht und Wissenschaft. Die feministische Kritik zeigt auf, dass die vermeintlich wissenschaftliche Objektivität eine in hohem Masse durch den «männlichen» Blick verzerrte ist. Gleichzeitig stellt sie die Möglichkeit von Objektivität überhaupt in Frage. Postmoderne Wissenschaftsforscherinnen verwerfen die Idee einer wertneutralen, objektiven und universalgültigen Forschung, indem sie die Situiertheit von Wissensproduktion offenlegen und propagieren.

- Description
- In book Sandra Whitworth looks behind the rhetoric to investigate from a feminist perspective some of the realities of military intervention under the UN flag. .She contends that there is a fundamental contradiction between portrayals of peacekeeping as altruistic and benign and the militarized masculinity that underpins the group identity of soldiers. Examining evidence from Cambodia and Somalia, she argues that sexual and other crimes can be seen as expressions of a violent 'hypermasculinity' that is congruent with militarized identities, but entirely incongruent with missions aimed at maintaining peace. She also asserts that recent efforts within the UN to address gender issues in peacekeeping operations have failed because they fail to challenge traditional understandings of militaries, conflict, and women. .This unsettling critique of UN operations, which also investigates the interplay between gender and racial stereotyping in peacekeeping, has the power to change conventional perceptions, with considerable policy implications.

- Description
- From the rescue of PFC Jessica Lynch to the high-profile trial of Lynndie England, the war in Iraq has highlighted women's presence within the military as never before. Carol Burke analyzes the military as an occupational folk group, arguing that every detail of military culture-from the 'high-and-tight' haircut to the chants sung in basic training is laden with significance. Exploring the minute ways that -the cult of masculinity- persists in all branches of the United States military today, Burke unearths details about basic training, military dress and speech, the history of the marching chant, the disdain some veterans still harbor for Jane Fonda, and the colorful-and sometimes questionable-rituals of military manhood. Postulating that culture is made-not born-Burke urges the military to consciously change its policy of -gendered apartheid- so it can evolve into the gender-, race-, and sexuality-neutral democratic institution it needs to be.
