When civil dissent is unintelligible
This article exposes the reluctance of both pro- and antiwar Russian media to provide a nuanced understanding of the political challenge posed by the protests of wives and mothers of Russia’s soldiers involved in the war against Ukraine. Drawing on Holloway Sparks’ concept of non-radical civil dissent, we demonstrate that despite lacking overt antiwar or anti-militarist messaging and an explicit alignment with feminist antiwar resistance, these w…
Heroes as Harbingers of Social Change
Acknowledging the importance of heroes in the framing of political identities and building on the expanding interdisciplinary scholarship, this paper offers a novel approach by situating the analysis of public choices of heroes within debates on social change, and, specifically, inclusion and diversity politics. Utilising an original dataset of two individual-level, nationally representative surveys of British and US adults, we demonstrate that t…
To those who choose to follow in our footsteps”
Building on Judith Butler’s understanding of visibility as “the object of continuous regulation and contestation,” art/aesthetics studies in international relations, and feminist theater studies, we identify feminist “her-story” theater as a unique site where Western “gender-/sexuality-inclusive” soldiering is visibilized, contested, and subverted. Drawing on ethnographic observations of two award-winning dramas, interviews with artists and milit…
Reconciling climate change leadership with resource nationalism and regional vulnerabilities
This contribution explores how climate change is presented in one of the most established Kazakhstani newspapers, Kazakhstanskaya Pravda. Using quantitative and qualitative frame analyses, we explore patterns of climate change communication through the focus on framing of climate science, consequences, and responsibilities. We argue that resource nationalism shapes climate discussion in Kazakhstan with climate change emerging as a state-controlle…
The 'museumification' of the Scottish soldier and the meaning-making of Britain's wars
This article results from the research project, ‘War Commemoration, Military Culture and Identity Politics in Scotland’ funded by the Carnegie Trust for the Universities in Scotland, 2017-18 (RG13890/70560). As part of the whole project, we conducted 29 interviews in total, including with curators of military museums (13), government officials. artists and art managers, representatives of the Royal British Legion Scotland/Poppy Scotland, and memb…
The politics and pedagogy of war remembrance
Drawing on analysis of learning materials, interviews and ethnographic observations of Scottish education, we analyse how projects aimed at teaching children to remember wars instil war-normalising logics through (a) substitution of self-reflective study of conflict with skill-based knowledge; (b) gendered and racial stereotyping via emphasis on soldier-centric (Scottish/British) nationalisms, localisation and depoliticisation of remembrance; (c)…
The politics of heroes through the prism of popular heroism
Scottish soldier-heroes and patriotic war heroines
This paper explores the (re)production of embodied gendered and racialised identities as part of commemorations devised by the Scottish government to mark the Centenary of WWI, 2014–18. In particular, we demonstrate how the Centenary has re-established Scotland’s key contribution to British military power instead of providing a platform for a broader discussion of British wars and Scotland’s role therein. Our analysis posits that this reframing w…

The politics of mourning
This article analyses the virtual memorialisation of British fatalities in Iraq and Afghanistan. It will study online obituaries published on two websites – BBC news and The Lasting Tribute. These sources are compared as examples of media-driven and community-driven memorialisation. This comparison enables us to study links between the mainstream media and the functioning of digital network communities, between public and private discourses of wa…
The Development of an Exclusive Veterans' Policy
Despite its social and political importance, veterans' policy is an overlooked subject in the field of civil -military relations. This article aims to discuss the theoretical problems of studying veterans' policy. It also proposes analysis of veterans' policy in Russia. The aim of the theoretical review is to underline the limits of traditional ways of viewing veterans' policy, which consider veterans' policy as a consequence of the development o…
