Creative research methodologies in critical military studies
The Neo-Ethnomethodological Program(s)
When two of the major figures of Ethnomethodology and Conversation Analysis produce a substantial edited collection of works in both fields then it is time to anticipate an "event."Especially when the two editors, Doug Maynard and John Heritage, have previously been involved in editing agenda-setting collections such as Structures of Social Action (Atkinson and Heritage 1984), Talk at Work (Drew andHeritage 1992), and, together, Communication in …
Damage, recovery, and the geographies of military–civil entanglements
This paper explores two forms of entanglements between military and civilian phenomena and activities, in contexts of recovery from damaging events.One concerns global civil-military entanglements in low earth orbital space, where recovery from damage is necessary for sustaining the civilian and military service support systems on which we increasingly depend.The other uses the damage caused by the UK state's regimes of financial austerity to hig…
Critical veteran researchers' unique adequacy
Drawing on ethnomethodology’s concept of unique adequacy, this paper addresses the contribution that critical veteran researchers (CVRs) can potentially bring to Critical Military Studies (CMS) on the basis of their military service, post-military life, and the members’ knowledge they therefore have. CVR members’ knowledges are framed through ethnomethodology’s arguments about unique adequacy as a requirement of methods. CVR’s unique adequacy is …
Pilgrimage Respecified
In 2002 the South Atlantic Medal Association organized its first ‘pilgrimage’ to the Falkland Islands. Pilgrimages to the islands have since become a regular occurrence. Battlefield ‘pilgrimages’ are seen not only as a ritual of remembrance of the dead, but as a cathartic act of personal and bonded-group self-affirmation, understood by many as an essential element of the psychological healing process after war. Yet public and media representation…
Reflections on Conflict and Culture on the 40th Anniversary of the Falklands/Malvinas War
This introduction to the special issue of the Journal of War and Culture Studies sets out the scope of the collection of articles which reflect in different ways on conflict and culture on the occasion of the 40th anniversary of the Falklands/Malvinas War. The special issue highlights the diversity of practices of cultural production in response to the war and its legacy. The articles examine: how the war has been remembered in Britain since 1982…
Militarization, stigma, and resistance
Set against the backdrop of the British Government’s Future Reserves 2020 (FR2020) programme, this article addresses military reservists’ experiences of how they are perceived by civilian colleagues in the workplace. Drawing on qualitative interviews with reservists, it analyses their understandings of civilian co-workers’ qualified and sometimes reluctant acceptance in light of FR2020’s implicit aim to use reservists to help realign civil–milita…

The possibilities and limits of impact and engagement in research on military institutions
Military geographical research often requires direct engagement with military institutions. Although the morality of such engagements is often debated, the details of engagement in practice have been less scrutinised. Scrutiny is important, as military engagements can shape research‐derived critiques and can influence the communication of research outcomes to both military and academic research communities. Military engagement comprises the commu…

Militarisation, universities and the university armed service units
This paper asks what militarisation looks like when encountered in university settings, using the example of the UK university armed service units. It identifies a specific definition of militarisation, which is then used as a framework to explore the USUs. The USUs have been subject to critique as emblematic of militarisation, and thus problematic. The paper looks at practices where militarisation can be identified as evident on university campu…
Reserve forces and the transformation of British military organisation
In recent years there has been a sharp growth in political and sociological interest in the British military. Set against the backdrop of the armed forces increasing presence in everyday life, alongside the organizations’ ongoing restructuring, the current paper focuses on the MoD’s problematic attempts to recruit 30,000 Reservists by 2020; what has become known as the Future Reserves 2020 programme (FR2020). We argue that these changes are drive…
Local Productions of Visual Orders
Geography, military geography, and critical military studies
This paper is about the distinctive contributions which contemporary military geography might make to the wider critical military studies project. The paper notes the relative absence of the study of military topics across Anglophone human geography in the second half of the twentieth century, and the resurgence of interest in the spatialities of militarism and military activities over the past decade or so in tandem with the emergence of critica…

Communicating War through the Contemporary British Military Memoir
This paper is about military memoirs—the published autobiographical reflections of those who have participated in armed conflict—as a mechanism for communication about war. In this paper, we consider the controls exerted by functions of genre, military organizational censorship and self-censorship as influences on the possibilities for the military memoir for communicating war. Drawing on memoirs published about experiences with the British Armed…
Multi‐Modal Movement
Practices of Authorial Collaboration
Although usually marketed as single-authored, interviews with the authors of military memoirs indicated the significance of collaboration with others throughout their writing and publication process. This paper describes the nature of these collaborations. We go on to suggest that collaborative practices were not seen by the authors as diminishing to the centrality of the named author or the reliability of their narratives. That while the collabo…
Adjudicating Accounts
Wootton Bassett and the political spaces of remembrance and mourning
From 2007 the English village of Wootton Bassett emerged as a site to honour British military personnel killed in action. Repatriation ceremonies developed from a spontaneous act by the citizens of the town into an informal site of national respect for the armed forces. Initially cited by the media as an example to shame the country for its lack of respect for the military, it became both a space for public displays of grief and a site of politic…
This place isn't worth the left boot of one of our boys
This paper argues for the continued significance of the text as a source and focus in critical geopolitical inquiry. It establishes the utility of the military memoir in explorations of popular contemporary geopolitical imaginaries, and considers the memoir as a vector of militarism. The paper examines the memoirs written by military personnel about service in Afghanistan with the British armed forces, specifically about deployments to Helmand pr…
Military Occupations
Military occupations are continually evolving in relation to the geopolitical changes of societies, their conflicts and conflict management strategies, and technological developments in military hardware and software. Military occupations studies undertaken by the academy have been key to informing government strategy towards the maintenance of functioning armed forces. Since the 1950s, such studies have prioritised ‘top‐down’ quantitative sociol…
Military Identities in the Situated Accounts of British Military Personnel
This article examines individual military identities as articulated by serving and former British military personnel. Following a review of approaches to military identities in both traditional military sociology and more contemporary sociologies of military personnel informed by post-structuralist theories, the article introduces a methodological approach to identities driven by respondents' perspectives generated during photo-elicitation interv…

Heroic anxieties
This article is about representations of the figure of the British soldier in contemporary print media. Drawing on photographs reproduced across a range of newspapers over a specified time period in 2006, the article examines the salient features of the construction of the figure of the soldier within this quantity and diversity of images. A key distinction in this group of images is that between the anonymous and the named soldier. The use of ge…

What constitutes evidence in hospital new drug decision making
Same evidence, different meanings
This paper investigates members’ practices at Drug and Therapeutic Committee (DTC) meetings. It describes situated practices involving textual and other forms of ‘evidence’ considered by committee members at two DTC sites dealing with the managed entry of a single pharmaceutical product (clopidogrel). It investigates the locally situated textual activities of committees and members; issues that evidence-based medicine (EBM) programs ignore in the…
