On pleasures, fantasies, and soldiers
Responding to Catto's critique of my 2016 article “Sexy Warriors,” this piece reaffirms both the tentative nature of my earlier observations as well as the importance of thinking broadly about the role of fantasy and desire in animating militarized institutions and identities. While Catto is critical of my approach, this essay argues that many of his objections are misplaced. Addressing some of his points directly, and emphasizing the ways that f…
Everyday life, participant observation, and the bodies caught between wars on terror and drugs
Fieldwork with U.S. veterans showed me many things I never expected. As good fieldwork should, it disrupted my questions and showed me answers I was not seeking. Drawing on that experience, this essay reflects on the bodies of soldiers, particularly the ways they are medicated and surveilled. Looking into everyday life reveals how the twin logics of the ‘war on terror’ and ‘war on drugs’ concatenate, showing a side of the state security apparatus…

Sexy warriors
This essay examines links between sexuality, sexiness, and militarized bodies. While scholars have persuasively established links between militarization, hyper-masculine identities, and sexual assault, I want to trouble the soldier as an object of desire, not merely as a subject imposing violence. This paper analyses the fetishism of militarization to argue that the relationship between soldiers' bodies and the state might be usefully understood …
What Does Evolution Have To Do with Legal Enclaves
While we applaud Hudson, Bowen, and Nielson (2011) for demonstrating the correlation between two modes of contemporary sexist oppression (inequality in family law and violence against women), we are concerned about how they embed a contested narrative of human evolution into otherwise straightforward findings. We argue that claims about human evolution are unnecessary to their argument, and, more importantly, that the version of feminist evolutio…
Everyday Counterinsurgency
What makes an occurrence or practice “everyday” is the extent to which it is unremarkable, taken-for-granted, or ostensibly natural (see the helpful elaboration by Enloe, in this forum). War operations seemingly lie far afield from everyday activities, unless the focal-point is the experience of combat participants themselves. For those on a 12-month deployment overseas or unlucky enough to live near a foreign combat outpost, foot patrols, convoy…
Contesting Essentialist Theories of Patriarchal Relations
This essay emerges from an ongoing mother-son dialogue about contemporary gender relations and their genesis in the history of patriarchy. In order to reframe patriarchy as a relational construct, rather than a simple group-based oppression, a performative notion of identities grounds the paper. It offers a critique of the body of literature that has developed under the broad heading of “evolutionary psychology,” insisting that gendered relations…
