  • An Investigation Into the Sublime Aesthetic Narratives of Contemporary Warfare a DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO
    Warring Opinions: An Investigation into the Sublime Aesthetic Narratives of Contemporary Warfare A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Melissa Vera Licht IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Thomas Pepper August, 2010 Copyright Melissa Vera Licht 2010 Acknowledgments Thank you to my grandfather, Jack Fox, for telling his war stories, even though they are not easy to repeat. Thank you to my advisor, Thomas Pepper, for his invaluable thought, attention, advice, and encouragement, and to the members of my committee, Cesare Casarino, John Mowitt, Jochen Schulte-Sasse, and Tom Augst, for the courses and questions that shaped my thinking, and for their patience throughout this process. Thank you to Eric Daigre for helping me to work even though he wasn’t sure why I wanted to work on what seemed such a strange, violent, and depressing set of texts. Thank you to Courtney Helgoe and Gretchen Gasterland-Gustafsson for being completely sure I could write a dissertation. i Abstract This project uses aesthetic concepts of the sublime as critical categories for exploring opinions and subjective responses to war as they are presented in selected soldiers’ memoirs, literary theory, films, and public affairs–from World War I to the (ongoing) Gulf War. Representations of sublime force as well as sublime sacrifice and idealism permeate even “objective” journalistic accounts of warfare and inform the perspectives through which we engage with war in thought and feeling. The project argues that “opinion” is not merely a rationally measurable statistical phenomenon but an aesthetic problematic through which we experience ourselves in relation to the world.

During 2019 the United States experienced a high number of relatively small catastrophe events which financially impacted many of our members. A number of our members also experienced significant fire losses to their homes and property. We are proud that we were able to assist these members in rebuilding and restoring “normalcy” to their lives. Although these events resulted in a bottom line loss for Armed Forces Insurance for 2019, our capital position was unchanged and we remain financially strong. The COVID-19 event has left our communities with feelings of uncertainty. For our military communities, uncertainty is nothing new. From the unknown of the next PCS or homecoming, our active duty families know uncertainty. The anticipation of the next mobilization is something our Reserve and National Guard families are familiar with. And the memories of uncertain times flood the thoughts of our retirees and veterans. In uncertain times such as these, people look for those who provide certainty. Armed Forces Insurance is a 133 year old, financially strong, member focused, financial service provider whose exclusive mission remains serving the insurance needs of our Nation’s military personnel. We pride ourselves on taking care of our members, giving them peace of mind. We know that the insurance purchasing decision is an important one and we are uniquely qualified to help you in this process.
