    Wounded Warriors: Contemporary Representations of Soldiers’ Suffering By Alison M Bond A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Wendy L Brown, Chair Professor Ron E Hassner Professor Kinch Hoekstra Professor Ramona Nadaff Fall 2017 Wounded Warriors: Contemporary Representations of Soldiers’ Suffering Copyright 2017 by Alison M Bond Abstract Wounded Warriors: Contemporary Representations of Soldiers’ Suffering by Alison M Bond Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science University of California, Berkeley Professor Wendy L Brown, Chair There has been a long-term suspicion in religious and psychological literatures that unethical wars will have an especially detrimental impact on the soldiers who fight in them. This project examines public depictions of the psychological suffering of contemporary U.S. soldiers, evaluating their effects on public discourses about war’s ethics. The analysis shows that over the past decade, these portrayals have developed potentially detrimental effects on civic processes, limiting and constraining public debate about war’s justifiability. Furthermore, the full expression of soldiers’ varied experiences of distress also appears to be constricted, preventing insights that might emerge into the ethics of current wars. In trying to understand how different discourses of suffering tend either to illuminate or to foreclose debates about a war’s justifiability, I draw on a variety of sources including medical discourse, political debate, advocacy materials designed to inform the public about soldiers’ post-combat struggles, and cultural accounts of soldiers’ distress in journalism, film and literature.

  • Baker En.Pdf
    1 The unofficial Baker teams' insignia. It was an unofficial shoulder patch (designed by soldiers and hand-sewed by Saigon's tailors), and meant to be worn during conventional warfare only. CCN, CCC e CCS (Command and Control North, Central, South) were the three SOG's zones of operation. The two Baker teams were the only one purposely trained for operating in all the three sectors. The survival knife represents the reconnaissance nature of 'fighting behind enemy lines', using stealth, survival and self-reliance as their primary skills, which are also the reason the Baker teams were created for. The AK refers to the most clandestine operations ran by the two teams, which required the use of Russian weapons and uniforms in disguise. 2 BAKER TEAM 3 Wallace Lee's BAKER TEAM Based on characters created by: David Morrell English Translation: Wallace Lee Mary Bottazzi Test reading: Orazio Fusco Piero Costanzi Mat Thomas Marchand Rime Merln Website design by: Marco Faccio Cover art: Subject by Wallace Lee Patch drawing by Marco Faccio Photo by Marco Bizzotto Released by Double Edged Ghost Writings, 2016 [email protected] Copyright disclaimer: The characters of Rambo and Col.

    MAPPING MEN: TOWARDS A THEORY OF MATERIAL MASCULINITIES by DAVID R. WALLACE, JR. Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Arlington in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY OF ENGLISH THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT ARLINGTON MAY 2013 Copyright © by David R. Wallace, Jr. 2013 All Rights Reserved ii Acknowledgements Writing this dissertation has been a study in the subject itself. It has been transformative. And like the men I‘ve attempted to articulate, my own journey across the open in-betweens has been made possible by individuals too numerous to count, each of whom generously shared their own campsites, their own material experiences, with me. Though I would like to thank them all, I cannot. There are a few, however, who did more than just share their campsites. I‘d like to thank them here. First, I would like to thank my dissertation committee, Stacy Alaimo, Tim Morris— both in the English department—and Chris Morris, in the Department of History. Their insight over the years has been invaluable, and their voices and ideas echo in this project. In particular, I‘d like to thank Stacy Alaimo, with whom I have worked closely for seven long years and who has not only patiently supported my exploration and guided me through my doctorate, but has also given me moral support and encouragement through a number of personal (existential) crises. I would like to thank Tim, also, for his invaluable comments. His critical skills helped me to define this project; his insights and suggestions have helped me become a better writer and a more focused scholar.
